Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland that causes major losses in the dairy industry. Streptococcus spp. are among the main agents of this disease. Increased resistance to antibiotics is one of the causes of therapeutic failure. Plants, due to their broad chemodiversity, are an interesting source of new molecules with antibacterial activity. Using these compounds along with traditional antibiotics is...
A series of novel benzophenone derivatives containing a thiazole heterocyclic nucleus were designed by molecular hybridization. Molecular docking studies have demonstrated the inhibitory potential of the designed compounds against cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes. These compounds were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory properties by the croton oil-induced ear edema assay to exa...
We investigated if pumpkin and flaxseeds could improve postprandial glycemic, food intake, and appetitive responses. Herein, we hypothesize based on the literature that pumpkin seed has potential to lower postprandial glycemic effects. Therefore, we conducted a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design study involving normoglycemic adults (food intake: n = 25; glycemia: n = 15). Three high-...
Arrabidaea brachypoda Bureau, Bignoniaceae, known as "cipó-una", is widely used in traditional medicine in Southeastern and Northeastern Brazil for kidney stones and painful joints. This study was aimed at evaluating the anti-inflammatory proprieties of the oleanane-type triterpenoid 3β-estearioxy-olean-12-ene isolated from the roots of A. brachypoda. Carrageenan-induced paw oedema, formalin test and hot plate ...
Eight coumarin derivatives (2–8) were synthesized from 7-hydroxy-4-phenylcoumarin 1 and were evaluated for their in vitro leishmanicidal activity against promastigote and amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis, as well their toxicity in murine macrophages. Compounds 4 and 7 showed the most significant results against promastigote forms of L. amazonensis. They were at least three-fold more active than 1 and ...

The human tissue kallikreins (KLK1–KLK15) comprise a family of 15 serine peptidases detected in almost every tissue of the human body and that actively participate in many physiological and pathological events. Some kallikreins are involved in diseases for which no effective therapy is available, as for example, epithelial disorders, bacterial infections and in certain cancers metastatic processes. In recent ye...
