Atividade antioxidante e antimicrobiana de extratos de atemoia (Annona cherimola Mill. x A. squamosa L.)

Abstract: RESUMO -O objetivo deste trabalho foi quantificar os teores de fenóis e flavonoides totais, bem como avaliar as atividades antioxidante e antimicrobiana de extratos obtidos dos talos e folhas de atemoia (A. cherimola Mill. x A. squamosa L.), que pertence à família Annonaceae. A atividade antioxidante foi avaliada pelos métodos de sequestro dos radicais 2,2-difenil-1-picrilhidrazil (DPPH) e 2,2´-azinobis-3-etilbenzotiazolina-6-ácido sulfônico (ABTS), bem como pelo método da cooxidação do β-caroteno/ácido linol… Show more

“…This fact is justified by the more complex nature of the cell wall, due to the presence of a lipid barrier, which makes it difficult for many antimicrobial agents, including the plant extracts used in this work, to enter and act (GUIMARÃES et al, 2010). Due to the lack of this important barrier, gram-positive bacteria are more susceptible to the mechanisms of action displayed by the different JSP extracts (RABÊLO et al, 2014).…”

“…Gram‐negative micro‐organisms are more resistant to antimicrobial action in relation to gram‐positive ones, as their cell wall is protected by a layer rich in polysaccharides, which makes the action of antibacterial substances present in the extracts difficult . Due to the greater susceptibility of gram‐positive micro‐organisms, it is believed that the mechanism of antimicrobial action of extracts is probably a consequence of their interaction with the peptidoglycan present in the bacterial cell wall, and which characterizes a more fragile barrier than the cell wall of gram‐negative bacteria . However, as observed in this study, the EEJS was effective in inhibiting the growth of both gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria, showing a great bactericide potential.…”

“…In addition, other metabolites found in the leaves and branches of A. subincanum, such as phenolics, might also contribute to some extent to the antimicrobial, as well as antioxidant activities. In fact, some authors have extensively correlated the antioxidant and antibacterial activities to the phenolic content of samples (Allahghadri et al, 2010;Rabêlo, Costa, Libório, & Almeida, 2014;Silva et al, 2012).…”
