“…The results obtained in this study are according to previous reports where the L. ferrea species was found to be rich in the phenolic compounds of the tannin and flavonoid type and have already been identified in extracts of pods, bark, stem, and flowers of L. ferrea (11,16). In addition to triterpenes and steroids, the following metabolites were found in the phytochemical screening of fresh leaves: saponins, organic acids, reducing sugars, phenols, and tannins (13,22).…”

“…The diverse biological properties of Jucá have been extensively investigated, including its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticancer, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects (9)(10)(11)(12). There are also studies on the phytochemical composition of Jucá showing the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins (5,13).…”

We comparatively evaluate two distinct formulations containing 5% of Jucá (Libidibia ferrea) for wound healing in dogs. An excision model study was performed in 11 dogs with three dermal wounds in each animal, which were treated with: (1) topical phytopharmaceutical based on Carbopol (PyC) containing 5% Jucá ethanolic extract; (2) topical phytopharmaceutical based on Astrocaryum murumuru butter (PyM) containing 5% Jucá ethanolic extract; and (3) commercial ointment (control). Wound treatment was carried out on alternated days starting at day (D) one until D21. Macroscopic (all time-points) and histological (D0 and D21) analyses were performed. The antimicrobial activity of Jucá was evaluated through Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). Phytochemical analysis of Jucá revealed 3.1% phenolic compound content expressed in rutin and the presence of hydrolyzable tannins and flavonoids. The mean wound retraction was 33.7 ± 5.5, 34.0 ± 4.7, and 28.4 ± 4.9 % for PyC, PyM, and control groups, respectively, with higher wound retraction for both herbal-treated groups compared to the control (P < 0.05). Alcoholic extract of Jucá had antimicrobial activity against the microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida krusei at different degrees, with MIC ranging from 250 to 16.625 µg/ml. Microscopic evaluation showed that the phytotherapic formulations contributed to better dermal wound healing through wound fibroplasia. The alcoholic extract of Jucá pods has great potential for wound healing in dogs and can be used in the development of commercially viable phytotherapic formulations.

“…is one species from this family, formerly belonging to the Caesalpinia genus, popularly known as "jucá" or "Pau-ferro". This species is endemic to the North and Northeast (Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Paraíba and Pernambuco), especially in geographic areas dominated by the Caatinga ecosystem, a dry Tropical Forest from Northeast Brazil (Ferreira & Soares, 2015). As this species possesses allelopathic activity against Lactuca sativa L. seeds (Oliveira, Coelho, Maia, & Diogenes, 2012), hypothesis that it also possesses allelopathic activity against weed seeds exist.…”

Considering the need to produce effective bioherbicides to control weeds and thus reduce the contamination of environments through the use of agrochemicals in control of these plants, the scientific community has been studying the allelopathic activity of several species of Caatinga, once studies indicate that some species of this biome presentind to have activity allelopathic about other plants. On this, the present study aimed to evaluate the allelopathic potential and phenolic composition of extracts of Libidibia ferrea Mart. ex Tul. on seed germination and seedling development of Calotropis procera (Aiton) WT Aiton. and Cenchrus echinatus L. For the allelopathy test, leaf, bark and root extracts, both hot (100 °C) and cold (25 °C), were used, followed by a control group (distilled H2O). Phytochemical prospecting was performed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the hot L. ferrea bark extract has allelopathic activity on C. procera and C. echinatus, which was observed in all parameters analyzed. The phytochemical results showed that L. ferrea extracts present several phenolic compounds which are possibly responsible for the results observed against the two weed species studied, with standing out Gallic acid, Catechin, Caffeic acid, Ellagic acid, and Quercetin. It is therefore necessary to isolate these compounds in view of a potential future use for L. ferrea extracts in the production of a bioherbicide.

The juca is a common plant in northeastern Brazil, has its known antioxidant capacity and proven therapeutic power. However, there is little information about its use as an antioxidant bioadditive in soybean oil. Thus, the antioxidant efficacy of the aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of the juca was investigated, through analysis in vitro (by total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity by free radical scavenger method - DPPH and by iron reducer method – FRAP), and in vivo (by oil with juca extracts, monitoring its oxidation during a 90-days). Hydroalcoholic extracts from juca showed greater oxidative stability than aqueous extracts. The hydroalcoholic extracts of the juca showed high levels of phenolic compounds (166.59 mgEAG / g of fruit and 179.55 mgEAG / g of stem bark), and high antioxidant activities by the methods of DPPH and FRAP, at the end of 90 days. The in vivo investigations indicated that the formulation of hydroalcoholic extract with 0.85% of the fruit and 0.85% of the stem bark showed a greater protective effect against the increase of the peroxide index in the soybean oil, showing that the simultaneous use of the additives have synergistic antioxidant effect. Therefore, juca hydroalcoholic extracts can be used as an antioxidant bioadditive in soybean oil.
