ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto antibacteriano, antifúngico y antioxidante de diferentes extractos del Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess. Material y Métodos: El efecto antioxidante fue determinado por captación de radicales libres, midiendo la decoloración de una solución de 2,2-difenil-1-picril hidrazilo (DPPH); La actividad antibacteriana y antifúngica, in Vitro, se determinó mediante la prueba de dilución. El efecto antibacteriano se evaluó en cepas de E. coli ATCC25922 y Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, utilizando medios de cultivo: Caldo y Agar Mueller Hinton. Para evaluar el efecto antifúngico, se utilizó cepas de Cándida albicans en medio de Agar Sabouraud. Resultados: La actividad antioxidante de los extractos acuoso, metanólico y etanólico fue muy satisfactoria, siendo de 110.56 por ciento, 99.17 por ciento y 99.57 por ciento, respectivamente, a una concentración de 100 ug/mL, en comparación con la Vitamina C que presentó 86,5 por ciento. Asimismo, observamos un buen efecto antifúngico para los extractos acuoso y etanólico al 20 por ciento p/v a los volúmenes de 3, 3.5 y 4mL. y en el caso del extracto etanólico también presentó un buen efecto a una concentración del 10 por ciento a un volumen de 1.6mL. Conclusiones: Los extractos: acuoso, metanólico y etanólico, presentaron un buen efecto antioxidante y antifúngico, en las cepas estudiadas.


Objetive: To evaluate, in vitro, the antibacterial, antifungal andantioxidant effects of different extracts of Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess. Material and Methods: The antioxidant effect was tested by free radicals capture, measuring discoloration of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-pycryl hydrazyle solution (DPPH). We used a dilution to measure antibacterial and antifungal in vitro activity. Strains of E. coli ATCC25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 were used to evaluate antibacterial effect; using Broth and Mueller Hinton Agar as culture medium. Strains of Candida albicans and Agar Sabouraud as culture medium were usedto evaluate antifungal effect. Results: Aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extracts, showed good antioxidant activity having 110.56 per cent, 99.17 per cent and 99.57 per cent of antioxidant activity at 100 ug/mL concentration, respectively. This is superior to the vitamin C referencepattern that showed 86,5 per cent activity. Good antifungal effect for aqueous and ethanol extracts at a 20 per cent concentration for 3, 3.5 and 4 ml of volume was determined. Ethanol extracts had the same antifungal effect at a 10 per cent concentration for 1.6mL. of volume. Conclusions: The aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extracts showed a good antioxidant and antifungal activity on the strains studied.

ABSTRACT

A case of a twenty-one year old woman with Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection that represents the fifteen case reported in the literature is here presented. Hypothesis for which this association is infrequent and several therapeutic alternatives are reviewed.
