Adriana Gibara Guimarães,Geovana F. Oliveira,Mônica Santos de Melo,Sócrates Cabral de Holanda Cavalcanti,Angelo R. Antoniolli,Leonardo Rigoldi Bonjardim,Francilene Amaral da Silva,João Paulo Almeida dos Santos,Ricardo Fagundes da Rocha,José Cláudio Fonseca Moreira,Adriano Antunes de Souza Araújo,Daniel Pens Gelain,Lucindo José Quintans-Júnior +12 more
TL;DR: The properties of CARV should be more thoroughly examined in order to achieve newer tools for management and/or treatment of painful conditions, including those related to pro-oxidant states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox properties and cytoprotective actions of atranorin, a lichen secondary metabolite.
Marcelia Garcez Dória de Melo,João Paulo Almeida dos Santos,Mairim Russo Serafini,Fernanda Freitas Caregnato,Matheus Augusto de Bittencourt Pasquali,Thallita Kelly Rabelo,Ricardo Fagundes da Rocha,Lucindo Quintans,Adriano Antunes de Souza Araújo,Francilene Amaral da Silva,José Cláudio Fonseca Moreira,Daniel Pens Gelain +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that atranorin has a relevant redox-active action, acting as a pro-oxidant or antioxidant agent depending on the radical, and will exert cytoprotective effects on cells under oxidative stress induced by H(2)O(2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of herbal medicines by elderly patients: A systematic review
José Edson de Souza Silva,Carlos Adriano Santos Souza,Tamara Bispo da Silva,Isla Alcântara Gomes,Giselle de Carvalho Brito,Adriano Antunes de Souza Araújo,Divaldo Pereira de Lyra-Junior,Wellington Barros da Silva,Francilene Amaral da Silva +8 more
TL;DR: The use of herbal supplements is common among the elderly, a population that takes a disproportionate share of prescription medications compared to that taken by younger populations, and among the problems uncovered was a lack of dialog between medical professionals and patients about the use of herbs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antinociceptive action and redox properties of citronellal, an essential oil present in lemongrass.
Lucindo José Quintans-Júnior,Ricardo Fagundes da Rocha,Fernanda Freitas Caregnato,José Cláudio Fonseca Moreira,Francilene Amaral da Silva,Adriano Antunes de Souza Araújo,João Paulo Almeida dos Santos,Mônica Santos de Melo,Damião Pergentino de Sousa,Leonardo Rigoldi Bonjardim,Daniel Pens Gelain,Daniel Pens Gelain +11 more
TL;DR: The results show for the first time the antinociceptive potential of CT and indicate that the antioxidant properties of this compound may rely on its mechanism of biological actions because CT-containing natural products are used to treat various diseases related to oxidative stress and reactive species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rafaela Oliveira da Silva,Valléria Matos Andrade,Ester Seixas Bullé Rêgo,Grace Anne Azevedo Dória,Bruno dos Santos Lima,Francilene Amaral da Silva,Adriano Antunes de Souza Araújo,Ricardo Luiz Cavalcanti de Albuquerque Júnior,Juliana Cordeiro Cardoso,Margarete Zanardo Gomes +9 more
TL;DR: Results suggest estrogen-like activity in the hydroethanolic extract of red propolis, possibly from the isoflavones in HERP, may be responsible for its toxicity.
