Effect of Fertilization on Morphologic Characteristics and Secondary Metabolites of Maytenus aquifolium Mart.

Abstract: Maytenus aqiiifoliurn Mart., popularly known as Espinheira santa, is a native Brazilian tree from which the leaves are extensively used to prepare antiulcerogenic infusions. To determine the effect of fertilization on morphologic characteristics and secondary metabolites, 2 year old plants were transplanted to a prefertilized field and submitted to treatment with organic and inorganic fertilizers. Fields pretreated with fertilizer significantly increased plant height, stem diameter, and the number of leaves an… Show more

“…Dentre os compostos identificados e quantificados através de CG/EM encontram-se o acetato de geranila, fitol, ácido dodecanoico, esqualeno, vitamina E, estigmasterol, friedelan-3-ol e friedelina. Pereira 16 e Queiroga 17 empregaram CG/EM para quantificar fridelan-3-ol e friedelina extraídos de folhas de M. ilicifolia. Um aspecto relevante a ser considerado durante a determinação do perfil químico dos extratos obtidos de plantas medicinais é a variação na composição química devido a localização geográfica, tempo de colheita, condições climáticas, manejo de cultivo, idade do material vegetal, período e condições de armazenamento, entre outros.…”

“…Both species are native growing plants, with natural occurrence in South Brazil where they are used in the form of teas for stomach ulcer illness treatment. For instance, Souza-Formigori et al, (1991) have demonstrated the antiulcerogenic property of Maytenus aquifolium and Maytenus ilicifolia, which seems to be closely related to the presence of two classes of substances, namely, phenols and triterpenes (Pereira et al, 1995;Pereira et al, 2003). The antiulcerogenic activity of aqueous extracts of Maytenus ilicifolia and Maytenus aquifolium has also been confirmed in laboratory tests with rats .…”
