TL;DR: Five of the Brazilian medicinal plants screened for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and yeasts presented compounds with Rf values similar to the antibacterial compounds visible on bioautogram, which may mean that the same compounds are responsible for the antib bacterial activity in these plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in leishmaniasis treatment.
Tatiana Shioji Tiuman,Adriana Oliveira dos Santos,Tânia Ueda-Nakamura,Benedito Prado Dias Filho,Celso Vataru Nakamura +4 more
TL;DR: This review describes the arsenal available for treating Leishmania infections, as well as recent advances from research on plants and synthetic compounds as source drugs for treating the disease, and highlights some biopharmaceutical technologies in the design of the delivery strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of Ocimum gratissimum L. essential oil.
Celso Vataru Nakamura,Tania Ueda-Nakamura,Érika Bando,Abrahão Fernandes Negrão Melo,Diógenes Aparício Garcia Cortez,Benedito Prado Dias Filho +5 more
TL;DR: The compound that showed antibacterial activity in the EO of O. gratissimum was identified as eugenol and structural findings were further supported by gas chromatography/mass spectra retention time data and the structure was supported by spectroscopic methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The essential oil showed no cytototoxic effects against mammalian cells, suggesting that O. gratissimum essential oil and its compounds could be used as sources for new antileishmanial drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent antifungal activity of extracts and pure compound isolated from pomegranate peels and synergism with fluconazole against Candida albicans
Eliana Harue Endo,Diógenes Aparício Garcia Cortez,Tânia Ueda-Nakamura,Celso Vataru Nakamura,Benedito Prado Dias Filho +4 more
TL;DR: The combination of this agent with fluconazole represents an attractive prospect for the development of new management strategies for candidiasis, and should be investigated further in in vivo models.
