Abstract: Recebido em 29/4/04; aceito em 19/11/04; publicado na web em 13/4/05 CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS FROM ROOTS AND LEAF STALKS OF AÇAÍ (Euterpe precatoria MART., ARECACEAE). Phytochemical investigation of the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of roots and leaf stalks of Euterpe precatoria Mart. ("açaí"), afforded stigmast-4-en-6β-ol-3-one (3); p-hydroxy benzoic acid (4); 3β-O-D-glucopyranosyl-sitosterol (5); β-sitosterol palmitate (6); mixtures of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol (1 and 2), α-, β-amirin and lu… Show more

“…The first work presented an antiplasmodial lignane and p-hydroxybenzoic acid, obtained from roots 3 and the second revealed the presence of cytotoxic triterpenes, steroids and also p-hydroxybenzoic acid, isolated from hexane, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of roots and leaf stalks. 4 In this work we describe the antioxidant activity evaluation of ethanol extracts from roots and leaf stalks of E. precatoria and of five flavonoids (quercetin, catechin, epicatechin, rutin and astilbin) isolated from them, aiming at a correlation of this activity with popular uses of the plant. The antioxidant activity was investigated using -carotene in TLC plates 5 and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging spectrophotometric bioassay.…”

“…A raiz também é utilizada no tratamento da malária e contra infecções hepáticas e renais. A semente fornece um óleo verde escuro, usado popularmente como antidiarreico (GALOTTA, 2005). Os estudos das propriedades físico--químicas demonstraram que a polpa do açaí-da-mata (E. precatória) contém maiores teores de fenóis, antocianinas e antioxidantes, do que a espécie nativa do Pará (PACHECO-PALENCIA et al, 2009).…”
