Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaugmentation and biostimulation strategies to improve the effectiveness of bioremediation processes.
TL;DR: The present review discusses the effectiveness as well as the limitations of bioaugmentation and biostimulation processes for in situ bioremediation of accidental spills and chronically contaminated sites worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant properties and neuroprotective capacity of strawberry tree fruit (Arbutus unedo).
Sofia Fortalezas,Lucélia Tavares,Rui C. Pimpão,Meenu Tyagi,Vera Pontes,Paula M. Alves,Gordon J. McDougall,Derek Stewart,Ricardo B. Ferreira,Cláudia N. Santos +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a promising level of chemically-determined antioxidant activity of a plant extract is not necessarily correlated with biological significance, as assessed by the effect of A. unedo fruit in a neurodegeneration cell model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant capacity of Macaronesian traditional medicinal plants.
Lucélia Tavares,Dina Carrilho,Meenu Tyagi,David Barata,Ana Teresa Serra,Catarina M.M. Duarte,Rui O. Duarte,Rodrigo P. Feliciano,Maria Rosário Bronze,Paula Chicau,María Dalila Espírito-Santo,Ricardo B. Ferreira,Cláudia N. Santos +12 more
TL;DR: A good illustration of different phytomolecules (flavonoids, organic acids and selenocompounds), presents in leaves of the five traditional medicinal plants endemic to Macaronesia, all exhibiting antioxidant properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactive compounds from endemic plants of Southwest Portugal: inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and radical scavenging activities.
Lucélia Tavares,Sofia Fortalezas,Meenu Tyagi,David Barata,Ana Teresa Serra,Catarina M.M. Duarte,Rui O. Duarte,Rodrigo P. Feliciano,Maria Rosário Bronze,María Dalila Espírito-Santo,Ricardo B. Ferreira,Cláudia N. Santos +11 more
TL;DR: The extracts of A. rouyana and T. capitellatus and their active components, especially polyphenols, demonstrate interesting neuroProtective potential and deserve further study as their phytomolecules are promising sources of either natural neuroprotective products and/or novel lead compounds.
