Phytochemical constituents and preliminary toxicity evaluation of leaves from Rourea induta Planch. (Connaraceae)

Abstract: Most active plants are toxic at high doses and it is therefore important to investigate the preliminary toxicity of plant extracts. The Rourea induta species is a potential drug with no phytochemical or biological studies registered in the literature. Thus, a phytochemical study and a toxicity analysis of the ethanolic extract obtained from the leaves of Rourea induta Planch., Connaraceae, was run. A long chain hydrocarbon, n-tetracosane, and four flavonoids were identified: quercetin, and three glycosylated d… Show more

“…A quantidade de hemoglobina livre no plasma depende da capacidade e da velocidade de remoção do pigmento pelo organismo de cada indivíduo, sendo fisiológica a quantidade de 6 mg%. Quando este valor supera 100 mg% a hemoglobina passa a ser filtrada pelos rins e quando excessivamente alto (superiores a 3.000 mg%), pode promover lesão renal (Carvalho et al, 2007;Kalegari et al, 2011 …”

“…A maioria das plantas é tóxica em doses elevadas, portanto é necessária a investigação da toxicidade dos extratos (KALEGARI et al, 2011). As reações adversas que as plantas podem causar possivelmente são decorrentes de seus próprios componentes, pela presença de contaminantes ou, até mesmo, pelas preparações caseiras duvidosas (ALMEIDA et al, 2010).…”
