Antifungal activity of extracts and phenolic compounds from Deguelia duckeana

Efecto de la Temperatura, el pH y el Contenido en Sólidos sobre los Compuestos Fenólicos y la Actividad Antioxidante del Extracto de Bixa orellana L.

“…Los compuestos fenólicos que constituyen uno de los metabolitos secundarios presentes en las plantas (Moo-Huchin et al, 2015), los cuales son de considerable importancia fisiológica y morfológica ya que intervienen en los procesos de crecimiento y reproducción en las plantas, proporcionando protección contra microorganismos (Silva et al, 2018). Los compuestos fenólicos, exhiben una amplia gama de propiedades biológicas, en las que se incluyen las propiedades antimicrobianas, (Koolen et al, 2013;Do Prado et al, 2014) antiinflamatoria (Cartarino et al, 2016), antialérgica (Agati et al, 2012), antiviral (Zhang et al, 2014), anticancerígena (Gad et al,.2016), antioxidante (Zhang et al, 2014), entre otras (Lima et al,. 2018;Araujo et al,.…”

Cellular Responses and Targets in Food Spoilage Yeasts Exposed to Antifungal Prenylated Isoflavonoids

“…Prenylated flavonoids and isoflavonoids [i.e., (iso)flavonoids] are biosynthesized in legumes as part of their defense mechanism against pathogens. Their antimicrobial properties have already been documented in vitro against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria ( 1 – 4 ), molds ( 5 , 6 ) and yeasts ( 7 – 10 ). (Iso)flavonoids are a chemically diverse group of phenyl benzopyrans encompassing 21 different subclasses, mainly differing in the level of oxidation of the middle ring.…”

Biological activities associated with tannins and flavonoids present in Hymenaea stigonocarpa and Hymenaea courbaril: A systematic review

“…Brazil has an extensive territorial area with about 8.5 million square kilometers (Ahmad et al, 2017) and is the country with the greatest biodiversity in the world with approximately 46.000 known plant species in the country, which are distributed in six terrestrial biomes (Amazon Forest, Pantanal, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pampa and Atlantic Forest) (Garcez et al, 2016;Lima et al, 2018). The rich Brazilian biodiversity is a source of resources for the country, not only for the ecosystem services provided, but also for the opportunities that represent its conservation, sustainable use and genetic heritage (Maranhão et al, 2013;Nahdi et al, 2020;Vieira et al, 2015).…”
