Our group has worked in the study of product development in herbal medicines. Clinical studies phase I and II with formulations generated from the standardized Extracts of Arrabidaea chica Verlot were possible with previous data produced from extract standardization and pre-clinical studies. The present work proposal focuses on carrying on research with relationship to pharmacological act…
Bone marrow neoplasias are aggressive disorders with low healing potential. As the incidence of cancer increases with age, a growing number of older individuals are receiving therapy for cancer and frequently in intensive modalities. As these older patients tend to present comorbidities, treatment decisions can often become difficult due to their fragile physical state which may affect th…

Individuals undergoing oncological treatments often experience loss of taste, affecting their quality of life. Previous studies have indicated that juice from the fruit Sideroxylon dulcificum may aid in the recovery of taste in patients with head and neck cancer. However, information on its safety and toxicity is limited, hindering progress in clinical studies. This study aims to evaluate…
Medicinal plants are a relevant source of bioactive compounds with recognized importance in popular medicine and in the scientific sphere, in addition to the potential for direct or indirect application in the development of medicines. The species Pterodon pubescens Benth and Cordia verbenacea DC, for example, are plants native to Brazil used to treat illnesses and targets of several stud…
Despite being a natural response of the immune system, the inflammatory process may be responsible for the cause or worsening of several syndroms and/or diseases. Nociception is also related to inflammation, since the sensation of pain can be caused by compression of sensory nerves due to edema and the production of inflammatory mediators. The terapeutic approach used in both cases genera…

Inflammation is a complex immune response related to tissue and / or cellular damage caused by chemical, physical, immunological or microbial stimuli and aims to lead to resolution of tissue damage. Inflammation is usually regulated by a cascade of molecular interactions and biochemical reactions responsible for propagating and maturing the inflammatory response and involves the local vas…

Inflammation is a complex immune response related to tissue and/or cellular damage caused by chemical, physical, immunological or microbial stimuli and is usually regulated by a cascade of many molecular interactions and biochemical reactions responsible for propagating and maturing the inflammatory response and involves the local vascular system, the immune system and various cell types.…
Malaria is one of the most important parasitoids worldwide, affecting approximately 300 million people each year. This is an acute feverish infectious disease transmitted by Anopheles genus vector, whose agents are the Plasmodium sp. Malaria has a conventional therapy, which is often hampered, because the patients do not undergo the medical treatment properly, thus favoring Plasmodium res…
The Arrabidaea chica (Humb. & Bonpl.) Verlot is a native tropical American vine popularly used for skin diseases. The healing effect of the A. chica extract on fibroblast proliferation and stimulation of collagen production have been proven in studies conducted in CPQBA-Unicamp, showing this specie as a promising alternative for skin and mucosa wounds treatment. The use of micro and nanop…
