Assessment of the chemopreventive effect of casearin B, a clerodane diterpene extracted from Casearia sylvestris (Salicaceae)
(Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2013-03-01) [Artigo]
Studies have shown that Casearia sylvestris compounds protect DNA from damage both in vitro and in vivo. Complementarily, the aim of the present study was to assess the chemopreventive effect of casearin B (CASB) against ...
Microplate alamarblue assay for paracoccidioides susceptibility testing
(Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013-04-01) [Artigo]
CLSI method M27-A3 is not available for use with dimorphic fungi, such as those of the Paracoccidioides genus. In this study, we developed a microdilution method and added the alamarBlue reagent to test the responses of ...
The β-chemokines MIP-1α and RANTES and lipoprotein metabolism in HIV-infected Brazilian patients
(Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005-08-01) [Artigo]
HIV patients are predisposed to the development of hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia as a result of both viral infection and HIV infection therapy, especially the protease inhibitors. Chemokines and cytokines ...

(Revista de Ciencias Farmaceuticas, 1993-12-01) [Artigo]
A study was carried out, on both sexes, to determine the effects of chlorpropamide (DIABINESE) and glibenclamide (DAONIL) on patients with Type II diabetes using as metabolic parameters the following serum: glucose, amilase, ...
Isolamento e caracterização de candida albicans e outras leveduras de águas de recreação não marinha e de materiais clínicos
(Revista de Ciencias Farmaceuticas, 1995-01-01) [Artigo]
Candida albicans and other yeasts from recreational water or clinical materials were isolated. Sixty-six water samples, originating from eight swimming pools and five lakes with beaches were examined for the presence of ...
Fator de crescimento derivado de plaquetas humanas obtido por uma metodologia rápida e de baixo custo
(Revista de Ciencias Farmaceuticas, 2004-12-01) [Artigo]
Human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was purified from lysates of clinically outdated human platelets by ionic exchange chromatography in CM-Sepharose. The eluated fraction was submitted to the Immunoblot/Slot Blot ...
Paracoccidoides brasiliensis 30 kDa Adhesin: Identification as a 14-3-3 Protein, Cloning and Subcellular Localization in Infection Models
(PLOS ONE, 2013-04-30) [Artigo]
Paracoccidoides brasiliensis adhesion to lung epithelial cells is considered an essential event for the establishment of infection and different proteins participate in this process. One of these proteins is a 30 kDa ...
Intermolecular interactions of the malate synthase of Paracoccidioides spp
(BMC Microbiology, 2013-05-16) [Artigo]
Background: The fungus Paracoccidioides spp is the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a pulmonary mycosis acquired by the inhalation of fungal propagules. Paracoccidioides malate synthase (PbMLS) is important in the ...
