Bioactivity evaluation against Artemia salina Leach of medicinal plants used in Brazilian Northeastern folk medicine

Abstract: The brine shrimp (Artemia salina Leach) lethality bioassay offers an advantage in standardization and quality control of botanical products. This test is well correlated with antitumor activity (cytotoxicity) and can be used to monitor the activity of bioactive natural products. This paper reports the bioactivity of ethanol extracts from seven medicinal plants from the Northeast of Brazil (Acmella uliginosa, Ageratum conyzoides, Eugenia uniflora, Plectranthus neochilus, Moringa oleifera, Justicia pectoralis an… Show more

“…Este bioensaio de citotoxicidade tem sido utilizado para seleção de extratos de plantas com substâncias de potencial farmacológico. Além disso, este teste possui correlação significativa com a inibição de crescimento de tumor sólido em linhagens de células humanas, que tem sido demonstrado pelo Instituto Nacional do Câncer no EUA, sugerindo o valor deste bioensaio como uma ferramenta de pré-triagem para pesquisa de drogas antitumorais [31].…”

“…The extract from Vanillosmopsis arborea was the most active with an LC 50 of 3.9 μg.mL -1 . Arcanjo et al (2012) evaluated different medicinal plants and observed a higher larvicidal effect under A. salina for extracts of flowers of Acmella uliginosa (LC 50 of 18.76 µg.mL -1 ).…”

“…Therefore, such plants should be investigated to better understand their properties, safety and efficiency [2] . In the last few years, a number of studies have been conducted in different countries to prove such efficiency [3,4] . Many plants have been used because of their antimicrobial traits, which are due to compounds synthesized in the secondary metabolism of the plant.…”
