Evaluation of the ethanolic extract of Myconia albicas (Old Cinnamon) in the al...
Castro, Fernanda Mota de; Alexandre, Aimê Veras; Batista, Francisco Lucas Alves; Santos, Sacha Aubrey Alves RodriguesMyconia albicans is the most abundant genus of the melastomaceous botanical family. In Brazil, it is known as "Canela de Velho", and is used mainly in inflammatory processes. Due to the scarcity of scientific works that report its pharmacological effect, the objective of this study was to perform its chemical characterization, toxicity, and the possible effect on the nervous system, using the experimental model...
Knowing Robotox: A profile of monitoring and releasing pesticides in Brazil
Sousa, Damião Sampaio de; Mendes, Francisco Rogênio da Silva; Marinho, Márcia Machado; Lima, Glória Fernandes; Santos, Hélcio Silva dosPesticides are products intended for the production sector, whose purpose is to preserve ecosystems by altering the composition of flora or fauna in order to preserve them from the harmful action of living beings considered harmful. The insertion of pesticides in Brazil is due to the Green Revolution, the mechanization and the intense use of agricultural inputs. As a result, damage to workers' health and the en...
Hydrogel and membrane scaffold formulations of Frutalin (breadfruit lectin) wit...
Sousa, Felipe Domingos de; Vasconselos, Pedrinha Diógenes; Silva, Ayrles Fernanda Brandão da; Mota, Erika Freitas; Tomé, Adriana da RochaPlant lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, which can interact with cell surfaces to initiate anti-inflammatory pathways, as well as immunomodulatory functions. Here, we have extracted, purified and part-characterized the bioactivity of Jacalin, Frutalin, DAL and PNA, before evaluating their potential for wound healing in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Only Frutalin stimulated fibroblast migration in vit...
Blendas e filmes de galactomanana e xiloglucana: caracterização físico-química
Mendes, Francisco Rogênio da SilvaPlant hemicelluloses have been widely used in the industry due to their ability to form edible and biodegradable films with glycerol as plasticiser. This work aimed to obtain hemicellulose-based films using Caesalpina pulcherrima and Tamarindus indica seeds as sources, also to evaluate the physicochemical properties of these blends. Both hemicelluloses were obtained by aqueous extraction followed by ethanol pre...
