“…J. gendarussa has been used in folk medicine to treat fever, cough, aphthae, arthritis, headaches, facial paralysis, earache, bronchitis, liver diseases, chronic rheumatism, inflammations, vaginal discharges, dyspepsia and ocular diseases. [5][6][7][8][9] The species of the genus Justicia have many morphological similarities among themselves, so that share some common names and medicinal indications. In Brazil J. gendarussa is known as Anador or Anador grande.…”

“…In Brazil J. gendarussa is known as Anador or Anador grande. 5 Earlier phytochemical studies reported the presence of triterpenoids, 9 steroids, [9][10][11] flavonoides, [11][12][13] and nitrogen compounds in its leaves. 14,15 In this paper, we are describing the isolation and the structure elucidation of four new alkaloids, named Brazoides A-D (1)(2)(3)(4), of Justicia gendarussa (Figure 1).…”

Four new alkaloids, Brazoides A-D, together with three known compounds squalene, β-sitosterol and lupeol, were isolated from leaves of Justicia gendarussa. These structures were established by spectrometric techniques, mainly high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), including comparative analysis with literature values. Structural determination of the compounds, Brazoides A-D, was strengthened by molecular modeling and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to predict the NMR data and compare with the experimental NMR values of these natural products. The new compounds were tested against three human cancer cell lines (glioblastoma, prostate and colon), but none exhibited activity.

“…The presence of coumarins seems to be typical in the Justicia genus. In J. pectoralis, one of the better scientifically studied species, these compounds are considered the main chemical constituents (Lino et al, 1997;Oliveira & Andrade, 2000).…”

“…Their leaves are usually entire and petiolate, with cystoliths in the epidermis (Braz et al, 2002;Kameyama, 2006). In the North and Northeast of Brazil, species of this genus, especially J. pectoralis and J. gendarussa, are widely used by the population for the treatment of inflammatory processes (Oliveira & Andrade, 2000). The genus proved to be rich in amine metabolites, coumarins and lignans (Al-Juaid & Abdel-Mogib, 2004).…”

Justicia acuminatissima (Miq.) Bremek., Acanthaceae, is a subshrub found in northern Brazil, where it is widely used by the population of this region as an antiinfl ammatory medicine. Despite this popular use, there is no pharmacognostical data to support the correct identifi cation of this species. We therefore performed a morphoanatomical, histochemical and phytochemical analysis of the leaves of this species, using well-known methods. The leaves are simple, exstipulate, green on the surfaces, and pubescent, with a lanceolate shape, crenate margin, pinnate venation and decussate phyllotaxy. The parenchyma is palisade and spongy, and its vascular system is bilateral. Glandular and non-glandular trichome and cystoliths were also detected. There are diacytic stomata on both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of epidermis. Histochemical tests revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, amide and protein. Phytochemical tests showed the presence of coumarins, tannins, catechins, saponins and steroids.

In Brazil, it has been recorded in the North (AC, AM, PA, RO, RR), Northeast (AL, CE, MA, PB, PE, SE), Central-West (GO, MT, MS), Southeast (MG, RJ) and South regions (PR, SC), in the Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes (Sartin, 2015;BFG, 2018).…”

This work presents the morphology of 16 medicinal species of Lamiales used in Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil, as well comments about phytogeography, popular use in the municipality, the status of the species in the National Policy on Medicinal Plants and Phytotherapeutics, and examples of preclinical trials. The work was performed between March and September 2020, through botanical sample of the Lamiales species presented in the book " Plantas medicinais de Alta Floresta: com contribuição a etnobotânica", obtained in rural communities and urban neighborhoods in the municipality of Alta Floresta, State of Mato Grosso. The morphological study was carried out at the Laboratory of Plant Morphology, located at the University Campus of Alta Floresta, Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso. In general, the species are native (56%) with wide distributions in Brazil. Most species have glandular trichomes (72%) on the leaves and/or flowers and have been shown to be efficient and/or promising (85.5%) in studies. However, only 37.5% of these studies were conducted by the Ministry of Health. None of the species are offered as a phytotherapeutic by the Unified Health System (SUS), although six are on the last National Report of Medicinal Plants of Interest published by SUS. Based on the information provided, it is evident that these species could be used in studies about new phytotherapeutics for SUS users.
