Atividade antimicrobiana dos frutos de Syagrus oleracea e Mauritia vinifera

Abstract: RESUMO:As espécies pertencentes à família Palmae são muito interessantes do ponto de vista químico e farmacológico. Neste trabalho, foram estudados os frutos de duas espécies da família Palmae, Syagrus oleracea e Mauritia vinifera. Essas palmeiras foram escolhidas por serem espécies brasileiras, abundantes em nosso país, utilizadas popularmente no tratamento de algumas doenças e ainda pouco estudadas. Foram realizados ensaios farmacológicos para avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana dos extratos dos frutos das… Show more

“…The oil extracted from the buriti fruits is popularly used against burns and as a potent vermifuge (Passos & Mendonça, 2006), and those activities are attributed principally to the carotenoids and the ascorbic acid, principal compounds in the oil (França et al, 1999). The buriti fruit showed also previously moderate antimicrobial activity against several bacteria (Silveira et al, 2005). No previous phytochemical studies were carried out with any species of the Mauritia genus.…”

“…The literature (Batista et al, 2012) reported an inhibition activity for the M. flexuosa pulp extract obtained with hexane extraction against S. aureus ATCC 6538. Silveira et al (2005) showed that both ethanolic and hexanic extracts of M. flexuosa fruits were active against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, but did not significantly inhibit E. coli. Huang et al (2011) demonstrated that fatty acids exhibit patterns of inhibition against oral bacteria with specificity that relates more to the bacterial species than the general structural characteristics of the microorganisms.…”

“…O óleo extraído da polpa dos frutos de buriti desperta interesse devido à sua composição química e ação farmacológica (SILVEIRA et al, 2005). O óleo de buriti é rico em ácidos graxos como os ácidos oléico, palmítico, linoléico, linolênico, esteárico e mirístico.…”
