Topical gels containing extracts of Schinus terebinthifolius have been used to treat bacterial vaginosis. It has been reported that this species has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcerogenic properties, which can be attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds. In this work, a sensitive and selective reversed-phase HPLC-UV/DAD method for the simultaneous assay of six polyphenols...

Background: Riboflavin, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are cofactors in oxidation-reduction reactions. The aim of this study was to compare a direct high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with an indirect enzymatic method to assess flavin status and establish reference intervals. The HPLC method was used to assess prevalence of flavin deficiency ...
