Chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oils of Blainv...
Pires, Andreza Maria L.; Albuquerque, Maria Rose Jane R.; Nunes, Edson P.; Melo, Vânia M. M.; Silveira, Edilberto R.; Pessoa, Otília Deusdênia L.The essential oils of Blainvellea rhomboidea (Asteraceae) were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC/MS and GC/FID. Initially, the essential oil from the aerial parts was investigated. From the 18 identified components, 5-indanol (14.5%) followed by p-cymen-8-ol (10.1%), β-caryophyllene (9.6%), caryophyllene oxide (9.6%), limonene (8.6%), terpinolene (7.8%), and spathulenol (7.7%) were the major cons...
Relationships in subtribe Diocleinae (Leguminosae; Papilionoideae) inferred fro...
Varela, Eduardo S.; Lima, João P. M. S.; Galdino, Alexsandro S.; Pinto, Luciano da S.; Bezerra, Walderly M.; Nunes, Edson P.; Alves, Maria A. O.The complete sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS/5.8S) were determined for species belonging to six genera from the subtribe Diocleinae as well as for the anomalous genera Calopogonium and Pachyrhizus. Phylogenetic trees constructed by distance matrix, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods showed that Calopo- gonium and Pachyrhizus were outside the clad...
Purification and characterization of a lectin from seeds of Vatairea macrocarpa...
Cavada, Benildo S.; Santos, Cláudia F.; Grangeiro, Thalles B.; Nunes, Edson P.; Sales, Patricia V. P.; Ramos, Ronaldo L.; Sousa, Flávia A. M. deThe protein, a galactose binding lectin made up of a misture of full length chains and endogenous C- and N-terminal fragments, was purified from Vatairea macrocarpa seeds and its properties were studied. A lectin from Vatairea macrocarpa Duke seeds (VML) was isolated using affinity chromatography on a guar gum column. The lectin, a glycoprotein without erythrocyte specificity, displays specificity to galactose ...
