Azole derivatives are the main therapeutical resource against Candida albicans infection in immunocompromised patients. Nevertheless, the widespread use of azoles has led to reduced effectiveness and selection of resistant strains. In order to guide the development of novel antifungal drugs, 2D-QSAR models based on topological descriptors or molecular fragments were developed for a dataset of 74 molecules. The optimal fragment-based model (r² = 0.88, q² = 0.73 and r²pred = 0.62 with 6PCs) and descriptor-based model (r² = 0.82, q² = 0.79 and r²pred = 0.70 with 2 PCs), when analysed synergically, suggested that the triazolone ring and lipophilic properties are both important to antifungal activity.

Poly(D,L-lactide), PDLLA, is a polymer with potential applications in medical, environmental, and pharmaceutical areas. Despite its versatility, the hydrophobicity limits its applications. To overcome this problem, one strategy is the preparation of blends with hydrophilic polymers such as poly(vinylpyrrolidone), PVP. In this study, we report the preparation and characterization of blends based on PDLLA and PVP and the biodegradation studies by the Sturm test. It was observed that the components of the blends PDLLA/PVP are thermodynamically immiscible, however the biodegradation is faster than that of pure PDLLA.

The self-aggregation of pheophytin, a possible photosensitizer for Photodynamic Therapy, is solved by formulation in polymeric surfactant as P-123. The photosensitizer incorporation was found to be time dependent, exhibiting two steps: a partition at the micellar interface followed by an incorporation into the micelle core. The photodynamic efficiency of the formulation was tested by the bioassays against Artemia salina. In order to evaluate how the experimental parameters: pheophytin concentration, P-123 percentage and illumination time influenced the death of artemia, the factorial design 2³ was chosen. The illumination time was found to be the main factor contributing to the mortality of artemia.

Due to the inherent limitations of the analytical methods of measurement, environmental exposure data often present observations described as below a certain detection limit, also called left-censored data. Censored data directly interferes in almost all types of statistical analyzes, including descriptive parameters, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, correlations and regressions. In this work, we investigated the performance of the main classes of methods from major publications available in the literature, considering their advantages and limitations. Some criteria for selecting the best method of dealing with censored data are presented.

This study aimed to produce and characterize a novel material from fish scales and chitosan for use as a medium for the extended release of herbicides. The mechanism of release for the herbicides atrazine and diuron was influenced by diffusion and swelling according to the power law kinetic model. The atrazine release time was seven days, while that of diuron was four days. The results of this study will contribute to the development of environmental matrices for herbicide release systems.

In this paper we show how to obtain efficient designs of experiments for fitting Michaelis-Menten and Hill equations useful in chemical studies. The search of exact D-optimal designs by using local and pseudo-Bayesian approaches is considered. Optimal designs were compared to those commonly used in practice using an efficiency measure and theoretical standard errors of the kinetic parameter estimates. In conclusion, the D-optimal designs based on the Hill equation proved efficient for estimating the parameters of both models. Furthermore, these are promising with respect to practical issues, allowing efficient estimation as well as goodness-of-fit tests and comparisons between some kinetic models.

In this work, the spectroscopic properties of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin (TMPP) in solvents of different polarities and water/ethanol mixtures were studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy and resonance light scattering associated with statistical analysis. The molar absorption coefficient and emission maximum of TMPP were dependent on solvent polarity. In the water/ethanol mixture, TMPP remained monomeric up to 25% of water, when it reaches its critical aggregation percentage. Oblique head-to-tail aggregate was found at intermediate water content (35 - 55%), while formation of a J-type aggregate was observed at higher water content (> 60%).

Em janeiro de 2003 foram constatados sintomas típicos de ferrugem em folhas maduras de videira (Vitis vinifera), nas áreas experimentais da Universidade Estadual Paulista, Campus de Ilha Solteira, em Selvíria - MS e Ilha Solteira - SP. Este é o primeiro relato desta doença da videira no Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Considerando a intensidade da doença, a importância da cultura da videira na região e a falta de informações sobre a ferrugem, os objetivos deste trabalho foram: reconfirmar a patogenicidade de Phakopsora euvitis; estudar a influência da luz e da temperatura na germinação de urediniósporos; estudar o efeito do tipo de superfície na germinação de urediniósporos; determinar a longevidade in vivo de urediniósporos e avaliar a eficiência agronômica de fungicidas para o controle da ferrugem. Sintomas da ferrugem foram verificados somente em folhas maduras de videira. A temperatura de 25 ºC, no escuro, e a superfície inferior da folha de videira foram as melhores condições para a germinação de urediniósporos de P. euvitis. A germinação dos urediniósporos foi reduzida em 94%, em folhas de videira que foram retiradas das plantas e mantidas durante sete dias na superfície do solo. Em dois experimentos realizados em campo constatou-se que os fungicidas tebuconazole, propiconazole e azoxystrobin proporcionaram as menores intensidades da doença. Tebuconazole apresentou-se como o fungicida mais eficiente no controle da ferrugem. No geral, maior intensidade da ferrugem foi observada em videira conduzida no sistema de espaldeira.

Com o objetivo de avaliar uma possível influência da aplicação conjunta de nematicidas sistêmicos e herbicidas sobre a eficácia dos nematicidas, no controle de Meloidogyne spp. e Pratylenchus zeae em cana-de-açúcar (híbrido de Saccharum spp.) no Nordeste, instalaram-se dois experimentos, um irrigado e outro não irrigado, ambos em canaviais nordestinos, há muito cultivados e comprovadamente infestados por fitonematóides. A variedade utilizada foi SP79-1011, os nematicidas aldicarb e terbufós e os herbicidas diuron, ametrina, oxyfluorfen e pendimetalin, aplicados no plantio, nas doses recomendadas comercialmente. As avaliações fundamentaram-se nos níveis populacionais dos nematóides observados em três diferentes momentos, e nos fatores de reprodução. Avaliaram-se também o desenvolvimento das plantas, a produtividade agrícola e dois parâmetros tecnológicos. Os resultados demonstraram que não houve efeito dos herbicidas na eficácia dos nematicidas, nem foram significativas as diferenças em relação à produtividade, exceto na área irrigada, para perfilhamento nos tratamentos com herbicidas, e número de colmos e perfilhos, nos tratamentos com nematicidas em relação à testemunha. Os nematicidas e herbicidas não afetaram os níveis de Pol e PCC do caldo, não interferindo, portanto, na produtividade industrial. Houve interação estatística entre nematicida e herbicida para P. zeae na rizosfera, na área irrigada, com a menor população do parasito encontrada na combinação aldicarb + pendimetalin.
