Spirocyclic lactams and curvulinic acid derivatives from the endophytic fungus Curvularia lunata and their antibacterial and antifungal activities
(Fitoterapia, 2020-03-01) [Artigo]
Curvularia lunata, isolated from the capitula of Paepalanthus chiquitensis (Eriocaulaceae), was cultured in potato dextrose broth (PDB) medium. The ethyl acetate extract yielded two new spirocyclic γ-lactams (3 and 4), and ...
1H NMR spectroscopy combined with multivariate data analysis for differentiation of Brazilian lager beer according to brewery
(European Food Research and Technology, 2019-01-01) [Artigo]
In this study, 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to classify samples of beer, considering three categories (Ambev, Heineken, and Grupo Petrópolis), employing chemometric methods: principal component analysis (PCA), partial least ...
Antiprotozoal Sesquiterpene Pyridine Alkaloids from Maytenus ilicifolia
(Journal of Natural Products, 2012-05-01) [Artigo]
As part of a bioprospecting program aimed at the discovery of antiprotozoal agents from the Brazilian flora, two new sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids, ilicifoliunines A (1) and B (2), along with the known alkaloids ...
Authentication of roasted and ground coffee samples containing multiple adulterants using NMR and a chemometric approach
(Food Control, 2020-06-01) [Artigo]
Brazil is still the world's largest producer and exporter of coffee. In order to maximize profits, some producers may add lower cost materials (such as corn, barley, or even coffee husks) to commercial coffee. In view of ...
Rapid determination of furosemide by combined spot test/diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to detect doping in sport
(Microchemical Journal, 2013-07-01) [Artigo]
This paper describes the development and application of a simple, cheap, and clean method for the quantification of furosemide in urine samples from athletes, to detect doping, using a combined spot test/diffuse reflectance ...
