Cytotoxicity, mutagenicity and acute oral toxicity of aqueous leaf extracts.

(Nees & Mart.) Mez., a native species of Brazil, is used in the treatment of infections and oxidative stress; however, there is no scientific evidence of its toxicological characteristics.

Cochlospermum regium (Schrank) pilger leaf extract inhibit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cochlospermum regium, known as "algodãozinho", is an important plant belonging to Brazilian biodiversity used in traditional medicine to treat infections, wounds and skin conditions.

Aim Of The Study: To assess the effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts from C. regium leaves on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus planktonic cells and biofilm formation.

A Promising Copper(II) Complex as Antifungal and Antibiofilm Drug against Yeast Infection.

The high mortality rate of candidemia and the limited option for the treatment of spp. infection have been driving the search for new molecules with antifungal property. In this context, coordination complexes of metal ions and ligands appear to be important.
