Abstract: The plant of the genus Pterodon (Fabaceae, Leguminosae), commonly known as 'sucupira' or 'faveira', are disseminated throughout the central region of Brazil and has frequently been used in popular medicine for its anti-rheumatic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. In recent years, interest in these plants has increased considerably. The biological effects of different phytoextracts and pure metabolites have been investigated in several experimental models in vivo and in vitro. The literature describe… Show more

“…Terpenoids from seeds of sucupira, especially vouacapan diterpenes, develop a main role as bioactive compounds of this plant [30, 31], being major constituents of the ambar coloured oleoresin obtained from its seeds. This oily material was subjected to some studies aiming to develop emulsions with submicrometer droplets [29, 32].…”

“…Pterodon pubescens Benth (Leguminosae), commonly known as “faveira,” “sucupira,” or “sucupira branca,” is a tree native to Brazil and is distributed across its central region [1]. The P. pubescens fruit is traditionally used in ethnomedicine as an infusion [2], in small doses and at regular time intervals as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, tonic, depurative [3, 4], and hypoglycemic agent [5].…”

“…These species are found in the Brazilian Cerrado and their fruits have often been used in popular medicine for their anti-rheumatic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. 2 Vouacapan furanoditerpenes are constituents of these fruits, and present some pharmacological properties, such as antiinflammatory, 3 antiproliferative against human cancer cells, 4 antiedematogenic 5 and antinociceptive activities. 6 In the present study, two new furanoditerpenes, as well as one that has been previously described in the literature, were obtained from P. emarginatus through semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).…”
