Abstract: Ethanol extracts from six selected species from the Cerrado of the Central-Western region of Brazil, which are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of infectious diseases and other medical conditions, namely Erythroxylum suberosum St. Hil. (Erythroxylaceae), Hyptis crenata Pohl. ex Benth. (Lamiaceae), Roupala brasiliensis Klotz. (Proteaceae), Simarouba versicolor St. Hil. (Simaroubaceae), Guazuma ulmifolia Lam. (Sterculiaceae) and Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) March. (Burseraceae), as well as fraction… Show more

“…Studies to characterize the anticariogenic potential of Brazilian plant extracts may be valuable to improve oral health in population with low income and noncompliant to conventional preventive procedures as well as encourage the preservation of the natural areas of the Brazilian savannah [11][12][13]20,21,26 . The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of aqueous crude extracts obtained from 23 plants from the Brazilian savanna on reference strains of S. mutans and S. sobrinus and clinical isolates.…”

“…It is estimated that only 30% of this biodiversity is reasonably known [3]. Plants endemic to the Cerrado have been receiving increased attention as a source of bioactive compounds, especially phenolic compounds [4], substances with known antioxidant, chemopreventive, cytoprotective, antimutagenic, antiestrogenic, and antiangiogenic activities [5]. …”

“…It was estimated that one-third to one-half of all Americans practice alternative medicine, with use of natural or herbal health care products, especially dentifrices 15 . In Brazil the biodiversity observed in the tropical forests and savannahs offers a wide variety of pharmacological and therapeutic compounds with intense activity on microbial biofilms, but only a small fraction of their pharmacological potential as sources of drugs has been under evaluation 16,17 . Moreover, since universally effective, low cost and accepted therapeutic approaches to control oral biofilm have not been established for low-income rural or urban populations 7 , studies to characterize natural products capable to reduce biofilm accumulation or the presence of targeted microbial species must be stimulated [18][19][20] .…”
