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...

Antimicrobials benefited the history of medicine by revolutionizing the treatment of infectious diseases. However, its consequent and continuous use has led to the emergence of microorganisms which once were considered safe, but have become feared as potentially lethal pathogens (Bowler et al., 2012). Staphylococcus aureus infections are highlighted for being a major cause of systemic infections, and for being ...
This paper describes the chemical and biological study of species Phanera glabra (Jacq.) Vaz and Bauhinia ungulata L. The chemical composition of essential oil from leaves of B. ungulata, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Twenty-two constituents were identified representing 85.90% of the total composition...
Uma das práticas mais antigas no tratamento e na cura das enfermidades é semdúvida nenhuma, o uso dos produtos naturais, especialmente, os de origem vegetal. Até o século XIX, os recursos terapêuticos eram predominantemente constituídos pela utilização de partes das plantas e extratos vegetais. Co m o avanço dos instrumentos científicos e tecnológicos se estabeleceu a tendência de utilização das substâncias ati...
