    Antibacterial activity of extract and fractions from branches of Protium spruceanum and cytotoxicity on fibroblasts.
    (2017) Amparo, Tatiane Roquete; Rodrigues, Ivanildes Vasconcelos; Seibert, Janaína Brandão; Souza, Rafaella Hilda Zaniti; Oliveira, Amanda Ribeiro de; Cabral, Vivette Appolinário Rodrigues; Vieira, Paula Melo de Abreu; Brandão, Geraldo Célio; Okuma, Adriana Akemi; Vieira Filho, Sidney Augusto; Teixeira, Luiz Fernando de Medeiros; Souza, Gustavo Henrique Bianco de
    The crude ethanol extract (CEE) and fractions from branches of Protium spruceanum were subjected to antibacterial and cytotoxicity assays. Compounds of the most active fraction were identified by GC-MS and LC-MS. CEE was active against 19 bacteria and the ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) showed the lowest minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC 0.3–80.0 mg/mL). Through time-kill assay was observed that EAF induced rapid bactericidal effect against Staphylococcus saprophyticus. The cytotoxicity tests against L929 fibroblasts showed great potential of EAF on the treatment of infections caused by five bacteria (MBC < IC50). The results provide in vitro scientific support to the possible application of branches of P. spruceanum as antimicrobial agent that may contribute for treatment of infections.

    Antimicrobial activity of synthetic bornyl benzoates against Trypanosoma cruzi.
    (2012) Corrêa, Paulo Roberto Ceridóreo; Miranda, Roqueline Rodrigues Silva de; Duarte, Lucienir Pains; Silva, Grácia Divina de Fátima; Vieira Filho, Sidney Augusto; Okuma, Adriana Akemi; Carazza, Fernando; Díaz, José Andrés Morgado; Pinge Filho, Phileno; Yamauchi, Lucy Megumi; Nakamura, Celso Vataru; Ogatta, Sueli Fumie Yamada
    We report here for the first time the in vitro effects of (1S,2R,4S)-1,7,7-trimethyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl- 39,49,59-trimethoxy benzoate (1) and (1S,2R,4S)-1,7,7-trimethyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl benzoate (2) on the growth and ultrastructure of Trypanosoma cruzi. These two synthetic compounds exerted an antiproliferative effect on the epimastigote forms of the parasite. The ICs50/72h of two synthetic L-bornyl benzoates, 1 and 2, was 10.1 and 12.8 mg/ml, respectively. Both compounds were more selective against epimastigotes than HEp-2 cells. Ultrastructural analysis revealed intense cytoplasmic vacuolization and the appearance of cytoplasmic materials surrounded by membranes. The treatment of peritoneal macrophages with compounds 1 and 2 caused a significant decrease in the number of T. cruzi-infected cells. L-Bornyl benzoate derivatives may serve as a potential source for the development of more effective and safer chemotherapeutic agents against T. cruzi infections.
