“…Previous studies with aqueous and organic extracts and with essential oil from aerial parts of P. brasiliensis indicated the presence of secondary metabolites of the classes of flavonoids, terpenoids (monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes and triterpenes) and phytosterols (Bohlmann et al 1984;Amorim et al 2016;Almeida et al 2017). In histochemical tests performed on the leaves, the presence of chemotaxonomic markers of the Asteraceae family was detected, especially sesquiterpene lactones and phenolic compounds (Athayde et al 2019). Despite its medicinal use, the antibacterial potential of the P. brasiliensis medicinal plant has not been studied until now.…”

Aim This study aimed to isolate Pseudobrickellia brasiliensis endophytic bacteria and evaluate the production of hydrolytic enzymes and antibiotics by these bacterial strains. The study also measured the antibacterial activity of P. brasiliensis. Methods and Results Thirteen endophytic bacteria strains were isolated from stem and leaf fragments of P. brasiliensis. Extracellular enzyme production by the isolated endophytic bacteria was evaluated in an agar plate‐based assay. The highest protease production was achieved by Bacillus subtilis P4 in alkaline medium. Antimicrobial activity of endophytic bacteria and P. brasiliensis extracts was investigated using microbroth dilution. An MIC value of 1000 μg ml−1 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found for B. subtilis P3, B. subtilis P5, Pseudomonas sp. P8 and Pseudomonas sp. P12. Leaf extract of P. brasiliensis showed the highest antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa, with an MIC value of 0·781 mg ml−1. Conclusions Pseudobrickellia brasiliensis is a source of bacterial endophytes, which can produce antibacterial compounds and enzymes. This work also demonstrated the antibacterial potential of P. brasiliensis. Significance and Impact of the Study This is the first study that revealed the antibacterial activity of P. brasiliensis and bioactive metabolite production by P. brasiliensis endophytic bacteria.

“…According to Panizza and Grotta (1965), among the characteristics that can be used to identify S. chilensis are the presence (or not) of secretory canals associated with the vascular bundles; the tissue composition of the central nerve and lateral regions; the presence of aerenchyma in the stem; and the presence of collenchyma in the leaves. Additionally, Athayde et al (2019) studied some species known as 'arnica", including S. chilensis, and provided morphological and chemical diagnostic markers, which could be also applied in the "arnica" quality control.…”

Arnica montana is a medicinal plant native to Europe and used topically to treat contusions, inflammations, and muscular aches. Studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory activity of extracts of this plant, which can be attributed to the presence of lactones. Its use in Brazil has traditionally been substituted by the species Solidago chilensis, which demonstrates similar therapeutic activity but is more adapted to a tropical climate. It is known that S. chilensis can be used as a substitute for A. montana as they both contain similar active compounds. We acquired eight different commercial brands of "arnica" sold in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, in 2013. The analyses of these products were divided into four categories: labeling, macroscopic, microscopic, and microchemical analysis. Labeling analysis followed RDCs ("Resolução de Diretoria Colegiada") standards (10/2010 through 26/2014). The morphological analyses were performed using microscopic techniques and were followed by microchemical analyses. Our results indicated that none of the samples were in complete conformity with labeling standards, the material was poorly conserved, contaminants were abundantly present, the species were incorrectly identified, and the directions of use were inadequate and potentially dangerous to human health.

“…Espécie considerada invasora de áreas cultivadas por se adaptar a diversos solos, inclusive aqueles pobres e arenosos e sua propagação é feita apenas por sementes (Athayde et al, 2019). É uma espécie de porte herbáceo, caule ereto e em ruderal, ramificado na porção superior, de 60 cm a 120 cm de altura, folhas membranáceas de filotaxia alterna e capítulos florais isolados ou em corimbos.…”

Porophyllum ruderale (Jacq.) Cass is a medicinal plant of the family Asteraceae, originally from South America and widely distributed in Brazil. It is popularly known as “couvinha”, “arnica-paulista”, “picão-branco”, among other names. It is used in folk medicine for the treatment of bruises and it has few studies regarding its chemical and agronomic aspects. Due to its medicinal uses, the scarcity of scientific documents, as well as the lack of systematic works regarding this species, this study aimed to systematize the studies of the species Porophyllum ruderale. Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) databases were used, 34 and 21 articles were found, respectively. The articles were gathered in the bibliography manager EndNote and the duplicates were excluded, resulting in 37 documents in total. Those documents with title and abstract according to the theme (Porophyllum ruderale species) were selected. The information contained in the articles was tabulated, such as: author, year, title, objective, other species studied, use, part studied, methodology and conclusion. This result points the need for further studies with this species in other areas such as: earth and planetary sciences, chemistry, medicine, pharmacology, toxicology and pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology. From this study, new lines of research in the area of medicinal plants can be carried out, once it was verified that this species is considered as toxic and widely used for the treatment of bruises instead of arnica (Arnica montana L. - Asteraceae).
