Journal ArticleDOI

Free radical scavenging activity of Lafoensia pacari.

TL;DR: Bioassay-guided isolation led to ellagic acid (EA) as the main active compound of Brazilian and Paraguayan collections of the plant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of dielectric properties of the reaction mixture during the acid-catalyzed transesterification of Brazil nut oil for biodiesel production

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the dielectric constant and loss factor of pure liquids methanol, ethanol, glycerin and sulfuric acid, as well as vegetable oils (Brazil nut and soybean) at various temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiproliferative activity and new argininyl bufadienolide esters from the cururu toad rhinella (bufo) schneideri

TL;DR: The venom from Rhinella schneideri showed a strong antiproliferative effect towards human cancer cells and presented a high chemical diversity in its constituents, supporting its use as anticancer agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and antipyretic effects of methanol extract of Cariniana rubra stem bark in animal models

TL;DR: The traditional use of Cariniana rubra preparations to treat inflammation is supported, as it can be presumed that EM Cr caused their effects by inhibiting the liberation and/or action of different inflammatory mediators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microwave drying and disinfestation of Brazil nut seeds

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the contamination of Brazil nut seeds by aflatoxin-producing fungal strains by using microwave dielectric properties at microwave frequencies of the Brazil nut shell and the kernel.
