Candida albicans is the most prevalent yeast in vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) episodes. Currently, the available therapy for this infection involves the administration of drugs, however, several resistance cases has been observed. Due to these factors, the search for new sources of antifungal molecules, among them, the natural products derivatives is in expansion. The hypericin (HIP) is …

Current anticancer therapies often demonstrate reduced safety and efficacy, so the development of new therapeutic approaches to cancer has been the goal of much research. In this context, activation of the host immune system against tumor antigens has received special attention as it represents a significantly safer and more effective alternative than chemotherapy and other conventional c…
Cervical cancer, a malignant tumor that affects the lower part of the uterus, is the third most frequent tumor in women, caused mainly by persistent infection by some oncogenic types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Although diagnostic and preventive capacity has evolved in recent decades through HPV vaccines and Pap smears, cervical cancer is still very much a problem in the female populat…

Helicobacter pylori colonizes the gastric epithelium and is often associated with infections such as gastric disorders, gastritis, ulcers, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) and even gastric adenocarcinomas. The difficulties faced in treating infections caused by this bacterium drive the search for new alternatives, such as natural products with antimicrobial activity, such…
Breast cancer accounts for approximately 11-12% of all diagnosed cancer worldwide, representing the main cause of death among women. Among them, about 20% of patients have overexpression of human epithelial receptor (HER2), which is associated with higher lethality and susceptibility to brain metastasis. Epirubicin (EPI) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent used in breast cancer treatment, …
There remain several key challenges to existing for Colorectal Cancer (CRC) therapy by intravenous route, mainly associated to the targeted delivery of drugs in the colon and/or tumor region as well as the systemic side effects reduction. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is one of the first-line chemotherapeutic drugs in the CRC therapy; however, it has short plasma half-life, unstable absorption in…

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (CVV) is currently a major public health challenge due to its high incidence and recurrence reports, which may be due to host-related factors such as immune system impairment or pathogen-related factors such as antifungal resistance, making it necessary to study new alternatives to treatment, among them the use of natural origin substances, such as lycopene (LIC),…
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a disease that affects a large part of the female population, Brazil ranking third in number of incidences of VVC in the world. The symptoms of this disease are nonspecific and are related to inflammatory processes resulting from the infection. The treatment currently available corresponds to oral and topical forms of drugs in the azole class; however, an…
Systemic infections caused by fungi of the genus Candida, especially the new species such as C. auris, which are highly resistant to the main drugs available to the population, have been causing a serious global public health problem, especially in the nosocomial environment. Authorities around the world remain alert to the rapid progression of disease states attributed to this species du…

Vulvovaginal candidiasis currently represents a major public health challenge due to its high incidence and recurrences reports. These challenges may be due to host-related factors, such as compromised immune system, or pathogen-related factors, including resistance to antifungal agents, and making necessary to study new treatment alternatives, e.g., the use of natural origin substances s…
Helicobacter pylori is a microorganism that is directly related to severe clinical conditions of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. The virulence factors and the ability of these bacteria to form biofilms increase the resistance to conventional antimicrobials. In this sense, there is a growing interest in the search for new substances, among them of natural origin, as we…
Climate change, ineffective diagnoses, and uncontrolled use of antibiotics are factors that justify the emergence of new species of microorganisms with a high capacity for dissemination and mortality. This is the example of Candida auris, a yeast that appeared in Japan in 2009 and which today is a matter of worldwide concern due to its high resistance to therapy and mortality worldwide. A…

Aedes (Stegomya) aegypti L. is an insect of great medical importance because it can transmit several arboviruses to humans including yellow fever, dengue, zika, and chikungunya. The main ways to prevent arbovirus transmission are the use of repellents that provide physical protection and insecticides that eliminate insect larvae directly in the breeding sites. Unfortunately, mosquito resi…
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer and is the leading cause of death among women worldwide, with an estimated 13 million deaths in 2030. Although there are many treatments available, many types are used today chemotherapy. Among the compounds with chemotherapeutic potential is piperine (PIP), it has anticancer and antitumor activity against breast cancer both in in vit…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant central nervous system cancer, responsible for about 4% of deaths associated with neoplasia, characterized as one of the most fatal human cancers. Chemotherapy is widely present in the treatment of glioblastoma and, among the commercial available drugs, docetaxel (DTX), Taxotere®, is a chemotherapy that has demonstrated ef…
