BACKGROUND
The medicinal plant Pterodon pubescens Benth has been traditionally used for a long time to treat rheumatic diseases due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. The present study aims to evaluate the antinociceptive effect of ethanolic extract from P. pubescens fruits (EEPp) in
Outbreaks of diseases pose a major threat to sustainable aquaculture development worldwide. Application of herbal products to combat parasitic diseases provides an alternative approach for sustainable aquaculture. This study investigated the in vitro antiparasitic effects of an oil-in-water
The essential oils (EOs) from the Brazilian species Croton zehntneri, Pterodon emarginatus and Schinopsis brasiliensis were examined for their chemical constituents, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The composition of EOs was determined by using gas chromatography coupled with mass
BACKGROUND
Pterodon pubescens Benth is a medicinal plant commonly used for therapeutic purposes in folk medicine for rheumatic diseases' treatment. In the present work we analyzed the chemical composition of the oleaginous extract of P. pubescens Benth (OEPp) and extended the antinociceptive effect
In the search for new therapeutic agents for Chagas' disease, we screened extracts obtained from the Brazilian plant Pterodon pubescens found commercially in the medicinal flora market. We investigated the potential trypanocidal effect of the oleaginous ethanolic extract of P. pubescens seeds and
The anti-arthritic property of hydro alcoholic extract of Pterodon pubescens seeds was previously demonstrated using the Collagen Induced Arthritis (CIA) in mice, the most similar arthritis experimental model to human rheumatoid arthritis. This disease is characterized by chronic inflamed joints
The antiarthritic effect of a hydroalcohol extract of Pterodon pubescens (HEPp) seeds was tested using collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in DBA1/J mice treated with daily oral doses of HEPp in different schedules. The preventive treatment significantly reduced both the arthritic index (AI) and the
