Efficacy of Essential Oil of Algrizea minor Sobral, Faria & Proença (Myrtaceae) in Combating Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Antibacterial and Virulence Modulation Studies Conducted In Vitro and In Vivo

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
This study explored the antibacterial, antivirulence, and in vivo effects of Algrizea minor essential oil (EOAM), against MRSA isolates. Chemical analysis by GC‐MS has been performed. The oil exhibited synergistic effects when combined with amoxicillin and oxacillin, inhibiting biofilm formation and reducing S. aureus‐induced hemolysis.

Eumelanin-based coloration and fitness parameters in birds: a meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although melanin is the most common pigment in animal integuments, the adaptive function of variation in melanin-based coloration remains poorly understood. The individual fitness returns associated with melanin pigments can be variable across species as

Antiaging, Wound‐Healing Properties and Chemical Characterization of Crude Hydroalcoholic Extract and Fractions of Myrcia neoobscura

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to characterize the phytochemical profile and potential antiaging and wound‐healing activities of 70% hydroalcoholic crude extract (CHE) from Myrcia neoobscura leaves and its fractions—insoluble (IF), ethyl acetate (EAF), and aqueous (AF)—for use in phytocosmetics for skin application.
