Bauhinia ungulata L. is a species native to Brazil and little is known in respect to its pharmacological properties. Studies carried out with the plant resulted in the isolation and identification of some chemical compounds, among them, flavonoids, bibenzyls, triterpenoids and oxepinic derivatives, for example. The present work aimed to investigate the antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial and wound heal...
Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, immunomodulatory and antimicrobial activities of Bauhinia ungulata L. Method: A flavonoid-rich fraction was obtained from the Bauhinia ungulata L stem, called the ethyl acetate fraction of Bauhinia ungulata (FABU). The total antioxidant capacity of the FABU was determined through the phosphomolibdenium reduction method. For the evaluation of its...
SUMMARY: We evaluated interleukin-10 ( IL10 ) - 592 C / A, IL4 - 589 C / T, interferon gamma ( IFNG ) + 874 A / T, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 ( CTLA4 ) + 49 A / G gene polymorphisms associated with efavirenz hypersensitivity reaction. A total of 63 human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients under treatment at a public hospital were included in the study, of whom 21 presented with efavirenz ...
Our aim was to evaluate genetic polymorphism of molecules involved in immunoregulatory/allergic processes in patients who presented with cutaneous hypersensitivity caused by chemically unrelated nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Polymorphisms at IL10 (–1082 G>A), IL4 (–589 C>T), CTLA4 (+49A>G), and DAO (+8956 C>G) genes were studied in 55 cases and 97 controls by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fr...
