Hancornia speciosa serum latex fraction: a non-allergenic biomaterial

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Plant-derived products can assist in the healing process of dermal wounds. It has been demonstrated that Hancornia speciosa latex present angiogenic, osteogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. Then, it could contribute to the wound healing process. However, natural products in co...

Macroporous latex biomembrane from Hancornia speciosa modulates the inflammatory process and has a debridement effect on wound healing in rats

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: The angiogenic, osteogenic and anti-inflammatory activity of latex of Hancornia speciosa has been evidenced and indicates pharmacological potential with great applicability in the health area, especially in the wound healing process. The present work aimed to compare the effects of the H. specio...

Hancornia speciosa Gomes Latex Increases Bone Mineralization in Rats: A Preclinical Study

Abstract Objective To evaluate the systemic effect of Hancornia speciosa latex on bone neoformation and mineralization in rats. Methods For that, the latex was first collected, and its composition was analyzed. A total of 30 male Wistar rats were used, which were simultaneously submitted to two surgica...

The role of enzymes in the angiogenic activity of Hancornia speciosa latex

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
The Hancornia speciosa latex has shown angiogenic activity. Angiogenesis plays a major role in wound healing, and materials that stimulate this process could be used to develop drugs. This study aimed to explain the role of proteins in the H. speciosa serum fraction latex in angiogenesis. Hence, this mat...

The present research explored antidiabetic and antioxidant potential of extracts of Carissa opaca roots. Methanolic extract...

Morfo-anatomía foliar de Araujia odorata (Apocynaceae-Asclepiadoideae) en un gradiente altitudinal: histoquímica de laticíferos

Araujia odorata is a sub-shrub native from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, whose latex, roots and leaves are used in traditional medicine. The objective of this work is to study the foliar morpho-anatomy of six populations in an altitudinal gradient (359-2155 m.a.s.l.) of Northwestern Argentine...

Transcriptional analysis of Rhazya stricta in response to jasmonic acid

BACKGROUND: Jasmonic acid (JA) is a signal transducer molecule that plays an important role in plant development and stress response; it can also efficiently stimulate secondary metabolism in plant cells. RESULTS: RNA-Seq technology was applied to identify differentially expressed genes and study the tim...

Testing accession genetic composition of a germ-plasm bank for mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa)

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (Supplement1), 2020
The objective of the current study was to measure the genetic variability of natural populations of Hancornia speciosa using RAPD type molecular markers to assay variation in existing sampled genotypes, using morphological variables, and so assess germplasm bank composition. Morphological and chemical ch...

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of mangaba

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (2), 2020
The present study aimed to assess the behavior of bioactive compounds and total antioxidant activity of two mangaba varieties (H. speciosa var. gardneri and H. speciosa var. cuyabensis) during storage, in two ripening stages. The fruit were harvested from the Germplas...

Pharmacological evaluation of Rhazya stricta root extract

The present study aimed to screen the Rhazya stricta Decne root for its antihyperglycemic and antioxidants potential through invitro assays along with phytochemical and elemental analyses. The crude extract was prepared through maceration and fractionated using solvent-solvent extraction technique. The s...
