Antimycobacterial and PknB Inhibitory Activities of Venezuelan Medicinal Plants. [PDF]
Int J Microbiol, 2020 Global control and elimination of tuberculosis are hindered by the high prevalence of drug‐resistant strains, making the development of new drugs to fight tuberculosis a public health priority. In this study, we evaluated 118 extracts from 58 Venezuelan plant species for their ability to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis mc26020, using ...

Resilience of floral scent emission after florivory. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Florivory is thought to affect floral traits, impacting pollination. However, our data suggest a stability in post‐florivory scent emission, which may guarantee the maintenance of pollinator visitation regardless of florivory, indicating a resilience of natural systems with multiple and simultaneous interactions. Created in BioRender. Tunes, P.

Metabolomic Differentiation of Malpighiaceae From Dry and Humid Tropics via UHPLC-MS/MS and Chemometrics. [PDF]
Anal Sci AdvABSTRACT Various factors can trigger water stress in plants, particularly in those growing in dry tropical regions. To survive under such conditions, plants produce metabolites with adaptive functions. However, metabolomic data on the leaves of Malpighiaceae species cultivated in both dry and humid tropical areas of Brazil remain scarce.

Comparison of Brazilian Plants Used to Treat Gastritis on the Oxidative Burst of Helicobacter pylori-Stimulated Neutrophil. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2013 Ten Brazilian medicinal plants used to treat gastritis and ulcers were carefully selected on the basis of ethnopharmacological importance and antiulcerogenic activity previously described. The antioxidant activity of the methanolic extracts was determined in analysis conditions that simulate a real biological activity on inhibition of the oxidative ...
