“…Earlier studies (prior to this survey) included an unpublished list (51 spp.) of Macuxi medicinal plants (DOYLE, 1985) and a list of plants collected along the BR174 highway ( VAN DEN BERG AND SILVA, 1988). However, no thorough survey of medicinal plants has been conducted with indigenous peoples in Roraima State.…”

Surveys of medicinal plants and fungi among five indigenous groups in Roraima, Brazil, were identified in the 1990s but not published. Most of the 52 species reported here were unknown in the literature for the same medicinal purpose when the data were collected, but 25 years later this has changed. Some of the ‘repeated’ data were collected in Roraima, but most were recorded elsewhere. It is likely that some of the traditional knowledge will have been lost by now, with old informants not passing their knowledge to younger generations. More work should be done on recording indigenous knowledge in Roraima, preferably by indigenous people. Efforts to recuperate traditional knowledge will benefit indigenous culture health and livelihoods.

RESUMO.A utilização de hortaliças no tratamento de doenças e na recuperação da saúde é um método terapêutico natural que está presente de forma marcante na cultura popular. Assim, o uso de remédios caseiros é uma das providências imediatas mais adotadas no tratamento de várias doenças. Diante disso, o uso de folhas e do fruto de planta Capsicum spp. (pimenta), foi analisado nesse artigo a fim de verificar o seu potencial terapêutico, através de uma revisão de literatura. A pesquisa se trata de uma revisão bibliográfica, abordando a importância da pimenta e a suas propriedades farmacológicas, utilizando-se de artigos e outras publicações. Para a realização desse trabalho buscou-se artigos originais e revisões indexadas nas bases SciELO, Periódicos CAPES, PubMed e MEDLINE, que abordava os temas: pimenta, pimenta e propriedade funcional, pimenta e atividade farmacológica. Não houve restrição quanto ao ano de publicação. A utilização do princípio ativo à base de plantas medicinais pode ser considerada como recursos auxiliares em um programa terapêutico global, podendo seu uso ser buscado cada dia mais na utilização de terapia paliativa dos cuidados da saúde. Assim, a literatura pesquisada elucidou que a pimenta tem grande valor do ponto de vista medicinal, além de representar importância cultural e econômica.Palavras chave: Capsicum, pimenta, terapêutica, saúde Analysis of the use of pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) and its medical indication: ReviewABSTRACT. The use of vegetable crops in the treatment of diseases and the health recovery is a therapeutic method that is present markedly in popular culture. Thus, the use of homemade remedies is one of the immediate action more adopted in the treatment of various diseases. In addition, the use of leaves and fruit of plant Capsicum spp. (pepper), was analyzed in this article in order to verify your therapeutic potential, through a literature review.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) affects the mucosa and submucosa of the large intestine. One of the mechanisms involved in its etiology is oxidative stress (OS), directly involved in the inflammatory process characteristic of UC. The Campsiandra laurifolia, known as acapurana, was described as possessing antioxidant properties. We used 24 male Wistar rats, divided into control (CO), control + acapurana (CO + A), colitis (CL), and colitis + acapurana (CL + A) groups. This study performed histological analysis, measuring anal sphincter pressure (ASP) and lipoperoxidation (LPO). The activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) levels were evaluated. The expression of the nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The statistical analysis used was the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test; values were expressed as mean ± standard error, and the significance level was p < 0.05. In the animals of the CL group, we observed the destruction of the crypts and the presence of mucosal ulcers, edema, and submucosal inflammatory infiltrate, as well as increased damage to the intestinal mucosa, reduced ASP, increased LPO and SOD activity, reduced GSH levels, and increased expression of NFκB and iNOS. The administration of C. laurifolia in the CL + A group was shown to cause regeneration of crypts, reduction of inflammatory infiltrate, reduction of damage to the intestinal mucosa, increase in ASP, and reduction in LPO with the restoration of SOD activity and GSH levels. The immunohistochemistry of NFκB and iNOS was significantly reduced. Therefore, the C. laurifolia aqueous extract appears to exert an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect in rats with AA-induced colitis.
