(Molecules, 2022) [Artigo]This work evaluated the metabolic profiling of Inga species with antitumor potential. In addition, we described the antigenotoxicity of polyphenols isolated from I. laurina and a proteomic approach using HepG2 cells after ... -
Advanced methylene blue — nanoemulsions for in vitro photodynamic therapy on oral and cervical human carcinoma
(Lasers in Medical Science, 2022) [Artigo]Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic modality with high contributions in the treatment of cancer. This approach is based on photophysical principles, which presents as a less invasive strategy than conventional ... -
Taxifolin and Lucidin as Potential E6 Protein Inhibitors: p53 Function Re-Establishment and Apoptosis Induction in Cervical Cancer Cells
(Cancers, 2022) [Artigo]Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in women worldwide, with 99% of cases associated with a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Given that HPV prophylactic vaccines do not exert a therapeutic effect in ... -
Solid Dispersions Incorporated into PVP Films for the Controlled Release of Trans-Resveratrol: Development, Physicochemical and In Vitro Characterizations and In Vivo Cutaneous Anti-Inflammatory Evaluation
(Pharmaceutics, 2022) [Artigo]Trans-resveratrol can promote various dermatological effects. However, its high crystallinity decreases its solubility and bioavailability. Therefore, solid dispersions have been developed to promote its amorphization; ... -
Study of Oligonucleotides Access and Distribution in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022) [Artigo]Therapeutic oligonucleotides have achieved great clinical interest since their approval as drug agents by regulatory agencies but their access and distribution in blood cells are not completely known. We evaluated by flow ... -
COVID-19: The question of genetic diversity and therapeutic intervention approaches
(Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2021) [Resenha]Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is the largest pandemic in modern history with very high infection rates and considerable mortality. The ... -

A Sporothrix spp. enolase derived multi-epitope vaccine confers protective response in BALB/c mice challenged with Sporothrix brasiliensis
(Microbial Pathogenesis, 2022) [Artigo]Sporotrichosis is a cosmopolitan mycosis caused by pathogenic species of Sporothrix genus, that in Brazil is often acquired by zoonotic transmission involved infected cats with S. brasiliensis. Previous studies showed that ... -
New Insights into the Mechanism of Action of the Cyclopalladated Complex (CP2) in Leishmania: Calcium Dysregulation, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Cell Death
(Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2022) [Artigo]The current treatment of leishmaniasis is based on a few drugs that present several drawbacks, such as high toxicity, difficult administration route, and low efficacy. These disadvantages raise the necessity to develop ... -
PIMREG expression level predicts glioblastoma patient survival and affects temozolomide resistance and DNA damage response
(Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2022) [Artigo]PIMREG expression strongly correlates with cellular proliferation in both malignant and normal cells. Throughout embryo development, PIMREG expression is prominent in the central nervous system. Recent studies have described ... -
Synthesis and Evaluation of the Antifungal and Toxicological Activity of Nitrofuran Derivatives
(Pharmaceutics, 2022) [Artigo]Fungal diseases affect more than 1 billion people worldwide. The constant global changes, the advent of new pandemics, and chronic diseases favor the diffusion of fungal pathogens such as Candida, Cryptococcus, Aspergillus, ... -
