“…The petrol and dichloromethane crude extracts were active, but the dichloromethane was slightly more active than the petrol extract (Table I). By analyzing the MIC values obtained for the petrol and dichloromethane crude extracts (Table II), it could be concluded that, these values are lower than some values previously found in extract with antimicrobial activity (Duarte et al 2004, Virtuoso et al 2005. Based on the MIC values, extracts can have strong (0.05 to 0.5 mg.mL ˗1 ), moderate (0.6 to 1.5 mg.mL ˗1 ), or weak activity (> 1.5 mg.mL…”

“…O infuso das cascas é empregado como calmante e sedativo de tosses e bronquites, bem como para tratamento de verminoses e hemorróidas (Lorenzi, 1992;Agra et al, 2007;. Estudos fi toquímicos tem mostrado a presença de alcalóides e fl avonóides (Cunha et al, 1996;Rabelo et al, 2001;ISI-Web of knowledge, 2008) Estudos farmacológicos realizados em diferentes laboratórios brasileiros têm demonstrado atividades antinociceptiva, ansiolítica/sedativa, relaxante muscular e antibacteriana de extratos de Erythrina velutina (Marchioro et al, 2005;Dantas et al, 2004;Vasconcelos et al, 2004;Virtuoso et al, 2005;Raupp, 2006;Santos et al, 2007). No entanto, estudos toxicológicos que comprovem a segurança de seu uso, apesar de muito importantes (Fuji, 2001) …”
