[ 1 ] - Antinociceptive action of Vanillosmopsis arborea in male mice
Objective: Vanillosmopsis arborea Baker (Asteraceae) has high economic value from Chapada to Araripe and its bark essential oil is a potential source of alpha-bisabolol. The present study aimed to elucidate the antinociceptive and antipruritic properties of the essential oil of V. arborea Baker (EOVA) in mice. Materials and Methods: The antinociceptive activity was assessed using the capsaicin,...
[ 2 ] - Antiparasitic Activity and Essential Oil Chemical Analysis of the Piper Tuberculatum Jacq Fruit
With the increase of neglected diseases such as leishmaniasis and Chagas disease, there wasa need for the search for new therapeutic alternatives that reduce the harm caused by medicineavailable for treatment. Thus, this study was performed to investigate the antiparasitic activityof the essential oil from the fruits of Piper tuberculatum Jacq, against lines of Leishmaniabraziliensis (MHOM/CO/8...

[ 4 ] - Phytochemical analysis and central effects of Annona muricata Linnaeus: possible involvement of the GABAergic and monoaminergic sistems
Annona muricata Linnaeus (Annonaceae), popularly known as graviola, is used in folk medicine as both sedative and anticonvulsant. This study correlates the neurochemical profile with the behavioral effects of the hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of Annona muricata (HLEAM) in mice, proposing to elucidate their mechanism of action on the central nervous system. Flavonoids and phenolic compo...
