In Brazil, there are hundreds of street markets selling a wide variety of herbs for medicinal purposes without quality control or scientific evidence. instead, their purported efficacy is based exclusively on empirical ethnobotanical knowledge. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of five medicinal plants widely utilized in Brazil to treat infections, as well as determined their chemical profiles. The results revealed that the five plants investigated (Anacardium occidentale L., Handroanthus impetiginosus Mart., Bumelia sartorum Sw., Zornia brasiliensis Vogel and Cnidosculus urens Pohl) demonstrated moderate to strong antimicrobial activity against most fungi and bacteria tested, principally for infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. The extracts of four plants exhibited MIC of 19.5 µg mL-1 against the bacterium Escherichia coli. The results also confirmed that these five traditional medicinal plants are efficient and inexpensive alternative sources of substances to treat infections. The samples of the commercially marketed plants did not have consistent chemical compositions in at least one type of HPLC, GC/MS, UV or 1H NMR analysis. 2021 artículo científico 0100-4670 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42965151006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42965151006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42965151006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42965151006/42965151006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42965151006/movil https://doi.org/10.26850/1678-4618eqj.v46.1.2021.p35-40 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=429 Eclética Química application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho Eclética Química (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.46 |
