“…Belonging to the family Melastomataceae (Renner, 1993), Miconia is a genus of approximately 1050 species (Goldenberg, Penneys, Almeda, Judd and Michelangeli, 2008), occurring in tropical America. Biological activities reported for Miconia species mainly include antimicrobial (Cunha et al, 2010), analgesic and anti-inflammatory (Vasconcelos et al, 2006), antimutagenic (Gontijo et al, 2019), antitumoral (Cunha et al, 2008), trypanosomicidal (Cunha et al, 2006), leishmanicidal (Peixoto et al, 2011), and insecticidal (Cunha et al, 2017). The current study was carried out to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of isolated compounds and semisynthetic derivatives from Miconia ferruginata DC.…”
