Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal activity of propolis on different species of Candida
TL;DR: Patients with full dentures who used a hydroalcoholic propolis extract showed a decrease in the number of Candida, and the yeasts showed a clear antifungal activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors that influence the yield and composition of Brazilian propolis extracts
Ildenize B. S. Cunha,Alexandra Christine Helena Frankland Sawaya,Fabio M. Caetano,M. T. Shimizu,Maria Cristina Marcucci,Flavia T. Drezza,Giovanna S. Povia,Patrícia de Oliveira Carvalho +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that the highest yield of propolis extracts obtained by maceration, which also had the greatest number of components, were those using 70% (v/v) ethanol or more as a solvent as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Cordiaverbenacea D.C.
P.M. de Carvalho,Rosa Fatima de Oliveira Rodrigues,Alexandra Christine Helena Frankland Sawaya,Marcia Ortiz Mayo Marques,M. T. Shimizu +4 more
TL;DR: The main constituents of the essential oil, identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), were alpha-pinene (29.69%), trans-caryophyllene (25.27%), and aloaromadendrene (9.99%) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study of in vitro methods used to analyse the activity of propolis extracts with different compositions against species of Candida
Alexandra Christine Helena Frankland Sawaya,A.M. Palma,F.M. Caetano,Maria Cristina Marcucci,I.B. Da Silva Cunha,Carlos Eduardo Pulz Araujo,M. T. Shimizu +6 more
TL;DR: Although the active substances identified in this sample are typical of Brazilian propolis, their activity against Candida had not been recognized previously, demonstrating the importance of standardizing the correct combination of microbiological and chromatographic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the composition of Brazilian propolis extracts by chromatography and evaluation of their in vitro activity against gram-positive bacteria
Alexandra Christine Helena Frankland Sawaya,Kirllian S. Souza,Maria Cristina Marcucci,Ildenize B. S. Cunha,M. T. Shimizu +4 more
TL;DR: The results of the Agar Plate Diffusion were directly proportional to the hydro-solubility of the extracts and did not evaluate their bactericidal activity correctly as mentioned in this paper, with the minimal Bactericidal concentration of the extract ranging between 2.5 and 20.0 mg/mL for the species of Gram-positive bacteria tested.
