“…Thus, Astronium urundeuva has in its chemical composition various secondary metabolites, such as phenols, flavonoids, terpenes, tannins, and chalcones. These components, whether acting individually or in combination, are directly associated with the therapeutic effects of the plant, as evidenced in previous studies [20,21,22,23,24]. However, it is important to note that the leaves of A. urundeuva exhibit a lower concentration of antimicrobial properties compared to the plant's bark, as indicated by previous studies [25].…”

Given the current disastrous situation of bacterial resistance resulting in deaths worldwide due to the misuse of antibiotics, it is necessary to explore natural means that can reverse this situation. Thus, the essential oil of Astronium urundeuva, which possesses properties directly related to its antibacterial effects, was the focus of this research. The objective was to analyze the antibacterial activity of the essential oil from A. urundeuva leaves, as well as its antibiotic-enhancing action. Initially, approval was obtained from the Biodiversity Authorization and Information Systems (SISBio) and the National System for Management of Genetic Heritage and Associated Traditional Knowledge (SisGen). Subsequently, collections were made, and extracts from A. urundeuva leaves were obtained. In addition, in vitro tests were conducted to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the essential oil, along with tests to identify any modifying activity on antibiotic action. Bacterial strains such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus were used for these tests. It was found through the minimum inhibitory concentration that the essential oil (EO) alone could not prevent bacterial growth, considering that its result was > 512 µg/mL. However, it was observed that the essential oil, in conjunction with certain antibiotics, had a potentiating effect on its antibacterial action. The most significant enhancers were Norfloxacin, as it achieved higher action against all three tested strains when combined with the EO, and Gentamicin, which, when combined with the EO, strengthened its action against E. coli and S. aureus. However, Ampicillin, when combined with the EO, showed significance only against S. aureus. Therefore, this study revealed that the essential oil of A. urundeuva may be promising, as it can enhance the action of antibiotics against bacterial growth.

Myracrodruon urundeuva, popularly known as "aroeira-do-sertão", a large tree, with a tall trunk. Belonging to the Anacardiaceae family, it occurs in the "caatinga" and dry forests of Brazil, from Ceará to the states of Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul. The present study aimed to analyse the whitening and antioxidant activities of the aqueous extract of the leaves of Myracrodroun urundeuva (AELMU). Inhibition of the tyrosinase enzyme, as well as its copper chelating capacity and antioxidant effect were evaluated. The AELMU (at 2000 µg/mL) showed excellent inhibitory action (83.76%) on tyrosinase by chelating the copper ion while kojic acid at the same concentration inhibited 97.81%.Moreover, the extract displayed important antioxidant activity (inhibited 76,46% of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical -DPPH; 49,59% of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and 51,07% of the hydroxyl radical). Thus, the extract under study is promising for use in cosmetics, given its multifactorial action.
