According to the World Health Organization, lower respiratory tract infections are the fourth death cause worldwide. When caused by bacteria, they can be treated with antimicrobial drugs. Unfortunately, at the latest decades, an important matter about the bacteria can be highlighted: their emerging resistance to antibiotics. In this subject, the development of plant-based medicines can be…
The Brazilian forests have one of biggest world's biodiversity. Achyrocline satureioides(macela) and Acmella oleracea (jambu) are native species from Brazil with a hugetherapeutic potential, with proved anti-inflammatory and anesthetic action respectively.The jambu's crude extract after depigmentation with activated charcoal and macela'sessential oil were incorporated in a film made with …
Spilanthol or afinin is an alkylamide found in herbs, among them, Spilanthes acmella (L.) L., and have several pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory, anesthetic and antioxidant activities. These properties may be of great interest in the treatment of oral mucositis, a typical side effect due to the treatment of cancer patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. The aim …

The extraction of compounds from plants is usually associated with the use of organic solvents. As a consequence there is the generation of industrial waste causing an environmental impact and high operational cost. For this reason, the use of processes that eliminate the use of organic solvents, such as supercritical extraction employing carbon dioxide it is of great interest. Furthermor…
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, second only to cardiovascular disease. Many studies have been developed in search for new chemotherapeutic agents and in this context, the research of several natural products have been identified as a way for the discovery of new anticancer drugs. Some surveys show that the total number of drugs introduced in anti-cancer therapy in t…
Rutin is an important bioflavonoids known for their antiallergic properties, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, normalizes the resistance and permeability of the wall of capillary vessels in addition to antioxidant properties. However, its low solubility in water is a barrier to its use and marketing, primarily for the pharmaceutical area. In the experimental part, will be held on microenc…
The effectiveness of antibiotics has been falling since they were introduce into modern medicine at least 70 years ago. The increasing and alarming rate of antimicrobial resistance particularly related to G (-) infections have challenge researchers in discovery new antibacterial compounds. Some publications describe the use of a particular class of antimicrobial agents based on the self-a…
