Curcumin Nanoparticles as a Pigment of Polyamide Textiles: Influence of Conditi...

The growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable solutions in textile dyeing has attracted interest in natural dyes, since the synthetic counterparts may be potentially damaging to the environment and require the use of additives to efficiently bind them to the fibers. Curcumin, a natural dye derived from Curcuma longa L. rhizomes, has attracted attention due to its notable biological activity and vibrant ye...

Evaluation of berberine nanoparticles as a strategy to modulate acetylcholinest...

Researchers have concentrated efforts in the search for natural-based reversible inhibitors for cholinesterase enzymes as they may play a key role in the treatment of degenerative diseases. Diverse plant alkaloids can inhibit the action of acetylcholinesterase and, among them, berberine is a promising bioactive. However, berberine has poor water solubility and low bioavailability, which makes it difficult to us...

Physiological response of the protective enzymatic mechanism of Pontederia parv...

The use of plants to eliminate organic or inorganic compounds is one of the alternatives for environmental treatment, but to guarantee the efficiency of process is necessary to know the effects in plant metabolism. This study sought to evaluate the enzymatic mechanism involved in the protection of the metabolism of Pontederia parviflora Alexander caused chromium absorption stress. The experiment was carried wit...

Extraction of bioactive compounds from Curcuma longa L. using deep eutectic sol...

In this work, deep eutectic solvents (DES-based menthol and cholinium chloride) and the ethanol, temperature, and times were selected to extract bioactive compounds from the rhizome, leaves, and flowers Curcuma longa L., using ultrasound-assisted extraction. Analyzes antioxidant, flavonoids, antimicrobial, chelation Fe2+, inhibition of the cholinesterase's enzymes, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity in Allium cepa ...

Analytical validation of an ultraviolet–visible procedure for determining vitam...

Vitamin D is a water-insoluble compound presented in two main forms (D2 and D3), susceptible to environmental conditions. Microencapsulation is an alternative to supplements and preserve vitamin D properties in foods. Entrapment efficiency (EE) is the main property to evaluate the encapsulation effectiveness and therefore it is of interest the study of analytical methods for the identification and quantificatio...

Super-exponential decay rates for eigenvalues and singular values of integral o...

Cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of industrialized powdered milk for infants a...

This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity and determine the LC50 concentration of powdered infant formulas widely marketed in South American countries. To this, milk samples, called as A, B, C and D, were analyzed in root meristem cells of Allium cepa, at concentrations of 0.075; 0.15 and 0.30 g mL-1, for 24 and 48 hours; and through cell viability in culture of normal line cells, via MTT t...

Characterization of strict positive definiteness on products of complex spheres

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of enzymatic and antioxidant activity, cytotoxi...

Curcumin, the main bioactive polyphenolic compound in Curcuma longa L. rhizomes has a wide range of bioactive properties. Curcumin presents low solubility in water and thus limited bioavailability, which decreases its applicability. In this study, cytotoxic effects of curcumin solid dispersions (CurSD) were evaluated against tumor (breast adenocarcinoma and lung, cervical and hepatocellular carcinoma) and non-tu...
