Essential oils of cordiaspecies, compounds and applications : a systematic review
Andrade, Kellen Cruvinel Rodrigues; Martins, Diegue Henrique Nascimento; Barros, Diogo de Amorim; Souza, Paula Monteiro de; Silveira, DâmarisThe purpose of this systematic review was to identify the available literature on the essential oil from species of genus Cordia. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews. The search was conducted on four databases: LILACS, PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus until June 5th, 2020, with no time or language restrictions. Sixty out of the 1,333 initially gathered studies fit the incl...
Biological properties and phytochemical characterization from Miconia chamissoi...
Gomes, Lorena Ferreira; Martins, Diegue Henrique Nascimento; Silva, Sandra Marcia Mazutti da; Barros, Yuri Yabu de; Souza, Paula Monteiro deThe objective of this study was to evaluate biological and phytochemical properties of the aqueous extract from the leaves of Miconia chamissoisNaudin (AEMC). Phytochemical properties were assessed by analyzing the chromatographic profile and the polyphenol content of AEMC. Biological properties evaluation wasconducted based on cytotoxicity assay and by evaluating the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and enzymatic i...
A biotechnology perspective of fungal proteases
Souza, Paula Monteiro de; Bittencourt, Mona Lisa de Assis; Caprara, Carolina Canielles; Freitas, Marcela Medeiros de; Almeida, Renata Paula Coppini deProteases hydrolyze the peptide bonds of proteins into peptides and amino acids, being found in all living organisms, and are essential for cell growth and differentiation. Proteolytic enzymes have potential application in a wide number of industrial processes such as food, laundry detergent and pharmaceutical. Proteases from microbial sources have dominated applications in industrial sectors. Fungal proteases ...
α-Amylase inhibitors : a review of raw material and isolated compounds from pla...
Sales, Paloma Michelle de; Souza, Paula Monteiro de; Simeoni, Luiz Alberto; Batista, Pérola de Oliveira Magalhães Dias; Silveira, DâmarisABSTRACT; Inhibition of α-amylase, enzyme that plays a role in digestion of starch and glycogen, is considered a strategy for the treatment of disorders in carbohydrate uptake, such as diabetes and obesity, as well as, dental caries and periodontal diseases. Plants are an important source of chemical constituents with potential for inhibition of α-amylase and can be used as therapeutic or functional food source...
Atividade de inibição enzimática por espécies vegetais do bioma cerrado
Souza, Paula Monteiro deDissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde, 2011.; A pesquisa por substâncias ativas presentes em plantas que possam inibir uma enzima chave em um determinado processo metabólico, de forma que sua ação seja a mais seletiva possível e com menores efeitos indesejáveis, tem sido o alvo das pesquisas na área de medicamentos.

Application of microbial alpha-amylase in industry : a review
Souza, Paula Monteiro de; Batista, Pérola de Oliveira Magalhães DiasAmylases are one of the main enzymes used in industry. Such enzymes hydrolyze the starch molecules into polymers composed of glucose units. Amylases have potential application in a wide number of industrial processes such as food, fermentation and pharmaceutical industries. Amylases can be obtained from plants, animals and microorganisms. However, enzymes from fungal and bacterial sources have dominated applica...
