Gouvea Gilberto S. S. Almeida Alphonse Kelecom Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) 210 taxonomy polonium nemorosone economic use The fluminense vegetation, more specifically the flora from the Jurubatiba restinga has been investigated bya multidisciplinary team of botanists, chemist, radiobiologist, insect physiologists and geneticist. Vouchersof 564 specimens have been collected, identified, organized in an herbarium, and a database is being build upcontaining, in addition to classical botanical data, chemical data and information on the potential economicuse either for landscape gardening, alternative foods or as medicinal plants. Phytochemical studies of theGuttiferae, Clusia hilariana, yielded oleanolic acid and nemorosone. Their biological activities against thehaematophagous insect Rhodnius prolixus vector of Chagas disease have been investigated. Finally, it hasbeen observed that aquatic plants possessed high levels of the natural radionuclide polonium-210, whichseems to be originated mainly from soil rather than from atmospheric supply. 2002 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32774113 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.74
