“…O Cumarú (Dipteryx odorata), citado 8 vezes, já tem sido relatado devido sua utilização terapêutica no tratamento de úlceras, infecções de ouvido, distúrbios cardíacos e respiratórios e até anticancerígenos. A cumarina é o princípio ativo e pode ser extraído em laboratório a partir das sementes de cumarú, quando utilizada possui efeito bronco-dilatador, anti-inflamatório (analgésico e antiedematosa) (CUNHA et al, 2016).…”

“…Some of the traditional uses of D. odorata are supported by the results from studies with various coumarin analogues-from the seed as well as other parts of the plantshowing a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, antituberculosis, antiviral, anticoagulant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities [194,203]. In addition to coumarin, D. odorata seed contains various other bioactive flavonoids, particularly isoflavones [204], particularly in the endocarp [205] as well as some of its other parts [206,207]. These compounds are known to elicit potent antioxidant activity [208] and are, similarly to coumarins, phenylpropanoidderived natural products.…”

The consumption of diets rich in antioxidants may minimize the chances of developing debilitating diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetic, inflammatory, neoplastic, and cognitive disorders. The Fabaceae or pea family is the third most species-rich plant family on Earth and includes more than 19,000 species in over 700 genera. Many species of Fabaceae are ingredients of staple diets and medicinal substances. This may be attributable to the presumably high content of antioxidants in these plants, particularly phenolic compounds. The Republic of Suriname (South America) harbors over 400 species of Fabaceae in more than 100 genera and has a rich ethnopharmacological tradition that also involves a number of Fabaceae species. In this chapter, we evaluated the literature to determine whether the traditional use of eight of the medicinally most commonly employed Surinamese species of Fabaceae may be associated with their phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Our results suggest that this may hold true for Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Cajanus cajan, Clitoria ternatea, Desmodium adscendens, Lablab purpureus, and Tamarindus indica but not for Copaifera guyanensis and Dipteryx odorata, the bioactivities of which mainly seem to be determined by terpenoids and coumarins, respectively, without an apparent involvement of antioxidant effects.

“…For this reason, they are abundantly used as key fragrances of fougère perfumes, as a substitute for vanilla, and as flavoring agents for desserts and stews as well as tobacco and whisky [175]-in addition to the applications mentioned above-despite the safety concerns [174]. Besides coumarins, D. odorata seed contains various other bioactive phenolic compounds, particularly isoflavones, mostly in the endocarp [190] but also in some of its other parts [191,192].…”

The dependence of humans on oxygen for their metabolism, together with their uninterrupted exposure to a wide variety of hazardous environmental chemicals, leads to the continuous formation of reactive oxygen-derived species (ROS) in the body, such as superoxide radical anion, hydrogen peroxide, peroxyl radicals, and hydroxyl radical. When in excess, ROS can damage cellular constituents such as DNA and membrane lipids causing oxidative stress, cellular injury, and, eventually, inflammatory, neoplastic, diabetic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and age-related diseases. Fortunately, the body has a multitude of naturally occurring antioxidants in dietary fruits and vegetables to its disposal, including polyphenolic compounds, vitamins, and essential minerals. These antioxidants eliminate ROS by acting as reducing agents, hydrogen donors, quenchers of singlet oxygen, or chelators of metal ions that catalyze oxidation reactions, thus decreasing the risk of the abovementioned diseases. This first part of the current chapter comprehensively addresses three representative examples of fruits from the Republic of Suriname (South America) that are rich in anthocyanins, ellagitannins, and coumarins and highlights their antioxidant activity and beneficial and health-promoting effects. In part 2, four Surinamese fruits with an abundance of (pro)vitamins A, C, and E and selenium are equally extensively dealt with in light of their antioxidant activities.

Isolation of Flavonoids fromDipteryx odorataby High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract: Dipteryx odorata (Aubl.) Willd, Fabaceae family, is a native species from the Amazon forest, Brazil. The goal of the work was to isolate and identify the flavonoids in the endocarp from D. odorata in order to minimize costs with solvents, time and residues.
