Acetylated cashew gum and fucan for incorporation of lycopene rich extract from...
Andrades, Eryka Oliveira de; Costa, João Marcos Antônio Rodrigues da; Neto, Francisco Edmar Moreira de Lima; Araujo, Alyne Rodrigues deIndustrial application of lycopene is limited due to its chemical instability and low bioavailability. This study proposes the development of fucan-coated acetylated cashew gum nanoparticles (NFGa) and acetylated cashew gum nanoparticles (NGa) for incorporation of the lycopene-rich extract from red guava (LEG). Size, polydispersity, zeta potential, nanoparticles concentration, encapsulation efficiency, transmis...
Protective Effect of cashew gum (Anacardium occidentale L.) on 5-Fluorouracil-i...
Miranda, João Antônio Leal de; Barreto, João Erivan Façanha; Martins, Dainesy Santos; Pimentel, Paulo Vitor de Souza; Costa, Deiziane Viana da SilvaIntestinal mucositis is a common complication associated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a chemotherapeutic agent used for cancer treatment. Cashew gum (CG) has been reported as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the e ect of CG extracted from the exudate of Anacardium occidentale L. on experimental intestinal mucositis induced by 5-FU. Swiss mice were randomly divided into...
Acetylated cashew gum-based nanoparticles for the incorporation of alkaloid epi...
Rodrigues, Jessica do Amaral; Araújo, Alyne Rodrigues de; Pitombeira, Nadia Aline; Plácido, Alexandra; Almeida, Miguel Peixoto deThe natural alkaloid epiisopiloturine has recently become the focus of study for various medicinal properties, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and antischistosomal effect. The incorporation of active molecules in natural polymeric matrices has garnered increasing interest during recent decades. A new derivative of cashew gum successfully obtained by gum acetylation has shown great potential as a carrier ...
Identification of Eschweilenol C in derivative of Terminalia fagifolia Mart. an...
Araujo, Alyne Rodrigues de; Ramos-Jesus, Joilson; Oliveira, Taiane Maria de; Carvalho, Andressa Maria A. de; Nunes, Paulo Humberto M.A green synthetic route was developed to prepare silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in aqueous solution for biological applications. Eschweilenol C, a compound derivative ellagic acid was identified as the main constituent of the aqueous fraction of the ethanolic extract of Terminalia fagifolia Mart. by NMR analysis. In the green synthesis, the ethanolic extract of T. fagifolia and its aqueous fraction were used to p...
Chitosan-based silver nanoparticles: a study of the antibacterial, antileishman...
Lima, Douglas dos Santos; Gullon, Beatriz; Cardelle-Cobas, Alejandra; Brito, Lucas M.; Rodrigues, Klinger A. F.; Quelemes, Patrick V.Silver nanoparticles have been studied as an alternative for treatment of microbial infections and leishmaniasis, without promoting induction of microbial or parasite resistance. In this study, chitosan-based silver nanoparticles were synthesized from silver nitrate (AgNO3), sodium borohydride as a reducing agent, and the biopolymer chitosan as a capping agent. The chitosan-based silver nanoparticles were chara...
