“…Moreover, the cultivation of medicinal plants should be carried out using the utmost care, avoiding chemical contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticide residues, as well as other situations that may lead to intoxication among users of medicinal plants. 40,41 Regarding to knowledge about the current legislation involving medicinal plants and phytotherapics, the health staff reported knowing the NPMPP, however, a lack of knowledge about the existence of the NPGMPP was prevalent. Most plants found in the alive pharmacy are not included in the list of medicinal plants of interest for SUS (RENISUS).…”

Ethical approval for the study Ethical approval for this ethnopharmacological survey was obtained from the Ethics and Research Committee of the University Hospital of Sergipe (CAE: 61094816.6.0000.5546). The participants were adequately informed about the nature of study, and benefits and risks involved. The subjects who agreed to participate of the study signed a written consent document. Characterization of Brazilian health care Ever since 1988, the Brazilian Constitution has promised free public healthcare in all complexity levels through the SUS, founded by taxes and social contributions. The SUS, by means of FHS, has decentralized care coverage and proved to reduce common diseases, mortality rate, and unnecessary admissions. 7 Alive pharmacy The alive pharmacy presents in the health units constitute medicinal gardens where are carried out activities such as cultivation, processing and management of medicinal plants, ensuring their correct and safe use in basic care.

“…Meanwhile the population consumes tea from the leaves of E. astringens, 267 coming from these markets instead of C. icaco. Medicinal plants are widely used due to 268 their easy accessibility, but they usually not have their efficacy and safety well 269 established (Bochner et al, 2012). This fact can become a risk to those who use them 270 since they can cause more deleterious effects than bring health benefits.…”

“…Besides, there is no guarantee of the provenance and proper storage of these supposedly 36 "medicinal plants". It is clear that there is a lack of incentive and scientifically-based 37 information to integrative and complementary practices and actions to promote the safe 38 and rational use of medicinal plants, including information on how the species should 39 be prepared and used by the population (Bochner et al, 2012). 40…”

12The use of plants and their products for medical treatment is very common 13 procedure in Brazil, especially for treatment of diabetes. In fact, several plants can 14 demonstrate hypoglycemic effects in vitro assays. However, the use for human 15 treatment requires the knowledge of their toxicological properties. The aim of this study 16 was to evaluate the effect of protein extracts of Chrysobalanus icaco collected from 17 natural habitats and of Eugenia astringens acquired from the market of Rio de Janeiro 18 on the viability and migration of fibroblasts. E. astringens has a similar morphology as 19 C. icaco and it is sold as Chrysobalanus in a popular market in Rio de Janeiro. Being a 20 different plant, E. astringens expresses different proteins, and its protein extract has 21 proved to possess higher toxic properties than C. icaco does. Cytotoxicity assays 22 indicated that, as the protein extract concentration increases, fibroblast viability 23 decreases. Only the E. astringens extract displayed cytotoxicity at all concentrations, in 24 addition to reduced fibroblast migration. The results obtained in this study demonstrates 25 that it's necessary integrative policies for rational use of medicinal plants and their 26 commercialization, since the current use of medicinal plants may be inadequate and it is 27 of great importance for Public Health. 28

“…The lack of knowledge regarding toxicological aspects of plants in private or public gardens is the main factor for accidental poisonings (SCHVARTSMAN, 1992;MATOS et al, 2011;BOCHNER et al, 2013). Furthermore, the indiscriminate use of ornamental plants as a therapeutic resource in folk medicine, with no concern regarding their possible toxicity, reinforces the importance of studying the toxicological traits of these plants MATOS, 2008;MATOS et al, 2011;BOCHNER et al, 2012).…”

Among other taxa of Araceae, the genus Anthurium is the largest of the family and one of the most important taxa. Some species of this genus have been used as a condiment, and its plants as ornaments and medicines for over a century. Anthurium maricense is an endemic species from "restingas" of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it is used as ornamental and medicinal plant. This paper aimed an anatomical and toxicological study of its vegetative organs. A. maricense has subterraneous rhizome, adventitious roots and complete leaves. The anatomical features of vegetative organs are similar to other species of Araceae and genus Anthurium, especially the velamen in roots and calcium oxalate crystals in all organs. Under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), longitudinal grooves were observed in the raphides. For toxicological analyses, whole (with crystals) and centrifuged (free from crystals) fractions of the juices of each organ were administered via mouthwash and plantar inoculation to groups of five mice. The formation of edema was observed at 1, 3, 6, 24 and 96 hours and 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The oral inoculations presented negative results for all groups, without edema. The plantar inoculations showed differing results: with centrifuged juices, mild edema formed but regressed; with whole juices, some animals presented severe edema. Our results indicated distribution and morphology of raphides and diverse chemical substances were related to the edematogenic process. A. maricense may potentially induce more chronic edema if compared to other species of Araceae.
