Atividade antibacteriana de Cereus jamacaru DC, Cactaceae

Abstract: RESUMO:A procura por novos agentes antimicrobianos a partir de plantas vem sendo intensificada e não existem estudos direcionados à avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana de C. jamacaru frente a microrganismos prejudiciais ao homem. Em vista disso, avaliou-se o efeito antimicrobiano do extrato bruto etanólico do lenho (EBLE) e do córtex (EBCO) desta espécie frente a colônias puras de oito microrganismos patogênicos. Neste estudo foram utilizados os métodos difusão em ágar (meio sólido) e CIM (concentração inibi… Show more

“…This result does not indicate the absence of antiparasitic activity, rather it shows that a high dose would be required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect (37) , which is not feasible. The high IC 50 values observed in this study may also be related to the antagonistic effect of other compounds present in the mixture, or to an insufficient amount of the active component responsible for the desired effect.…”

“…Davet et al (2009), registraram propriedades antibacterianas em C. jamacaru, inibidoras do crescimento de alguns microrganismos, devido a presença de esteróides. Agra et al (2007) e Roque et al (2010), em seus estudos no semiárido nordestino, registraram o uso de espécies do gênero Melocactus no tratamento de problemas respiratórios, tais como gripe e bronquite.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that jurema-preta exhibits antimicrobial activity in tests using isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from cattle with mastitis (Bezerra et al 2009). This plant was also found to exhibit antifungal activity when a bark extract was used in antimicrobial assessments (Davet et al 2009).…”
