- Antioxidant activity evaluation from Artemisia gorgonum extractsPublication . Rodrigues, Neidy; Pinto, Diana C. G. A.; Seca, Ana M. L.; Silva, Helena; Pereira, M. LourdesArtemisia gorgonum (Asteraceae) known as “losna or lorna” is used in Cape Verde in traditional medicine to treat inflammation, fever and gastroenteritis. The antioxidant activity of methanol, 70% ethanol, chloroform-methanol and chloroform extracts from A. gorgonum leaves was evaluated using the DPPH assay and the results presented.
- Potential anti-inflammatory effects of Artemisia gorgonum on rat liver injury induced by CCl4Publication . Rodrigues, Neidy; Almeida, Ana Paula; Silva, Helena; Pinto, Diana C. G. A.; Seca, Ana M. L.; Pereira, M. LourdesArtemisia gorgonum (Asteraceae) is a common traditional Cape Verde medicinal plant which has been used intensively to treat several inflammatory diseases. However, the most recent studies reported the anti-malaria activity [1], antiviral, anti-tumoral, anti-pyretic, anti-hemorrhagic, anti-coagulant, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-malarial, anti-ulcerogenic and antispasmodic and hepatoprotective activities have been reported for the Artemisia genus [1–5]. Therefore, our aim is to investigate the protective effect of hydroethanolic extract of A. gorgonum (AEAG) against liver injury on rat model. […].
- Salicornia ramosissima: secondary metabolites and testicular protection induced by ethanol extractPublication . Ferreira, Daniela; Isca, Vera M. S.; Seca, Ana M. L.; Pereira, M. Lourdes; Silva, Helena; Pinto, Diana C. G. A.; Silva, Artur M. S.The structure and spectroscopic characterization of the isolated compounds from etanol and dichloromethane extracts (PUFA omega3 ethylated, sterol and a rare wax) will be presented and discussed. Concerning the effect of ethanolic extract on mice testicular tissue under carbon tetrachloride exposure, it was clearly demonstrated that ethanol extract had a protective effect.
