“…Several authors have studied the antimicrobial activity of essential oils and plant extracts and have found activity against Gram-positive bacteria (Cunico et al, 2004;Zuque et al, 2004;Fernandes et al, 2005;Hernández et al, 2005;Michelin et al, 2005;Yasunaka et al, 2005;Bugno et al, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2007;Nair & Chanda, 2007). The antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria B. cereus, B. atrophaeus and B. stearothermophilus observed in this study was relevant, since these are spore-forming microorganisms, and can survive under adverse conditions for several years.…”

“…The diversity of compounds found in plant species make these organisms promising sources of new antimicrobial agents, with general or specific effects. These findings have motivated several studies in different parts of the world (Souza et al, 2002;Cunico et al, 2004;Zuque et al, 2004;Hernández et al, 2005;Michelin et al, 2005;Yasunaka et al, 2005;Bugno et al, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2007;Nair & Chanda, 2007).…”

Bioactivity of three plant species native to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest front of microcrustacean Artemia salina. This study aimed to carry out phytochemical and antioxidant properties, and assess, in vitro, the lethality of a leaf extract Trigynaea Schltdl oblongifolia Schltdl (Annonaceae), Ottonia frutescens Trel (Piperaceae), Bathysa australis (St Hill) Hooz (Rubiaceae) front of the microcrustaceans Artemia salina Leach. Extracts were prepared by soaking in 10% methanol (w/v) for seven days at room temperature. The antioxidant activity of extracts was determined by the stable radical DPPH method. The toxicity of the extracts was evaluated against the microcrustaceans A. saline. Extracts of O. frutescens and B. australis showed the following classes of secondary metabolites: Alkaloid, Anthraquinones, Coumarins, polyphenols (tannins), Saponin. The extracts from T. oblongifolia, besides the aforementioned metabolites the presence of flavonoids was detected. The antioxidant activity was observed in 30 minutes, the concentration 24 mg/mL of extract was: O. frutescens -38.3%, T oblongifolia -32.3%, and B. australis -32.1%. The lethal concentration, LC 50 , extracts of A. salina was: O. frutescens -149.75 ± 1.02 mg/mL, T. oblongifolia -148.8 ± 1.74 mg/mL, and B. australis -684 ± 9.04 mg/mL. In this context, we highlight the species, native to the Atlantic Forest, O. frutescens and T. oblongifolia great potential in bioprospecting of biologically active molecules.

“…The presence of cytotoxic activity of kaurane diterpenes is discussed in many studies in different species (He et al, 2009;HuesoFalcón et al, 2010;Lin et al, 2012); Diterpenes found in P. capensis have antifungal (Garo et al, 1997) and antimalarial activity, but have high toxicity (Uys et al, 2002). The hexane extract of Couepia grandiflora has antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the ethanolic extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Zuque et al, 2004).…”

Chrysobalanaceae is a family composed of seventeen genera and about 525 species. In Africa and South America some species have popular indications for various diseases such as malaria, epilepsy, diarrhea, infl ammations and diabetes. Despite presenting several indications of popular use, there are few studies confi rming the activities of these species. In the course of evaluating the potential for future studies, the present work is a literature survey on databases of the botanical, chemical, biological and ethnopharmacological data on Chrysobalanaceae species published since the fi rst studies that occurred in the 60's until the present day.
