Aim: This paper reports on the antimycobacterial activity of the oleoresins and extracts obtained from spp.
Materials & Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and fractional inhibitory concentration index techniques helped to evaluate the effect of these oleoresins and extracts against six strains of mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis.
Results & Conclusion: Among the assayed oleoresins and plant extracts, the , , and oleoresins provided the lowest MIC values against some of the tested strains. The combination of spp. samples with isoniazid did not evidence any synergistic action. Some spp. oleoresins may represent a future source for the discovery of new antimycobacterial drugs due to their low MIC values.

Pines produce and accumulate oleoresin, which is part of the preformed defensive system or is synthesized de novo in response to biotic and abiotic challenges. Fusarium circinatum is a fungal pathogen that causes Pine Pitch Canker disease and is characterized by cankers with abundant resin at the infection site. F.

Capsicum oleoresin (CO) is a concentrated extract derived from peppers ( L.) containing capsaicin (the active compound responsible for its pungency) and other bioactive components. The present study aimed to determine whether CO affects the energy expenditure and mitochondrial content of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in diet-induced obese mice.

Background: Native to the Amazon region, Copaifera multijuga Hayne is a large tree (≈ 36 m in height) that is heavily exploited for extraction of its oleoresin. Many studies have addressed the phytochemical properties and applications of this raw material; however, there are few initiatives that have focused on the genetic characterization of native populations of this species. To this end, our objective was to develop microsatellite markers for C.
