“…Since the ability of plant extract to scavenge ROS and/or metal chelating seems to be related to the chemical structure of phenolic compounds (Rice-Evans et al, 1996;Halliwell & Gutteridge, 1999), the biological effects herein described could be related to flavonoids present in the RCE40 extract, which are involved in free radical-scavenging and metal ion-chelating (Heras et al, 1998;Higdon & Frei 2003;Kaneko et al, 2003;Velázquez et al, 2003).…”

“…Os flavonóides genkwanina e apigenina, isolados de B. crispa e B. notosergila, juntamente com seus extratos etanólico e óleo essencial, apresentaram atividade antibacteriana, que também foi observada nas espécies B. rufescens e B. medulosa, justificando o uso dessas plantas na medicina popular para a cura de feridas e infecções microbianas [58][59][60] . Extratos de B. conferta e alguns compostos isolados, entre eles os flavonóides apigenina-4',7-dimetil eter [24], naringenina-4',7-dimetil eter [25], pectolinaringenina [13] e cirsimaritina [18] apresentaram ação espasmolítica 61 65,66 , onde tais atividades estão associadas a presença de flavonóides.…”

“…Baccharis glutinosa ethanolic extracts have been investigated previously and their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi was determined (Verastegui et al, 1996). Other species of the Baccharisgenus have also shown some pharmacologic properties, including antidiarrheic properties (Rahalison et al, 1995;Banskota et al, 1998;De las Heras, 1998;Abad et al, 1999), in our study Baccharis glutinosa did not show activity against any enteropathogenic bacteria tested, but it is possible that the antidiarrheic properties of this genus are only related to an antispasmodic effect (Tortoriello & Aguilar-Santamaría, 1996).…”
