“…The species Caryocar coriaceum Wittm., is found in the "Chapada do Araripe" where, fruit and woods were explored commercially and, plays an important socio-economic role in the region (Albuquerque et al, 2011;de Oliveira Campos et al, 2015;Júnior et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2015). Its fruit is used in food, and in folk medicine as an anti-inflammatory and to promote healing (Ribeiro et al, 2014). The fixed oil of Caryocar coriaceum (OFCC), (as well as olive oil and other vegetable oils) is rich in oleic acid (Ramos and Souza, 2011;Sena et al, 2010), an unsaturated fat used as an adjunct in the treatment of hyperlipemias with potential cardioprotective effect (Salgado et al, 2008), anti-bacterial (Saraiva et al, 2011a(Saraiva et al, , 2011b, anti-inflamatory Saraiva et al, 2011aSaraiva et al, , 2011b and wound effect (da Silva Quirino et al, 2009).…”

“…This category generally presents high Informants Consensus Factor for Caatinga areas, such as in the work of de Oliveira et al (2010) [54] with an ICF = 0.85 and Santos et al (2012) [52] with an ICF = 0.77, as well as in Cerrado areas as seen in Ribeiro et al (2014) [6] with an ICF = 0.70 and Macêdo et al (2015) [37] with an ICF = 0.75. In the analyzed areas, it can be verified that this system holds the largest number of species used (34) and is indicated for the treatment of 25 diseases.…”

“…After applying the process of inclusion and exclusion of duplicate articles, 40 articles that presented therapeutic indications of the species common to the Quincuncá community and the different areas in the Northeast of Brazil, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Ceará, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Bahia, and Maranhão, with Caatinga, Cerrado, Carrasco, Atlantic Rainforest, and Amazonian vegetation, were selected [6, 7, 16, 28–64]. …”

“…In the majority of ethnobotanical studies with consensus among informants, these values can vary from 0.21 to 0.86 [32, 35] for TSG and from 0.48 to 0.85 [6, 45] for LEOCCE. Of the reviewed species, Ximenia americana was noted for presenting the second largest number of citations for LEOCCE, with scarring (12) and wounding (9), whose potential that was demonstrated by Marinho et al (2013) [106] stood out.…”

“…Many medicinal species stand out for their curative potential [5] as they are widely known and used in popular medicine; these species contemplate the treatment and/or cure of various bodily systems mainly related to the respiratory, digestive, genitourinary disorders, and undefined conditions [6–8]. …”

Ethnopharmacological Relevance This study aims to evaluate the versatility of these species and their agreement of use and/or the informants' knowledge and verify the variability of the information on the indicated medicinal species in comparison to other species from northeastern Brazilian areas. Materials and Methods Ethnobotanical information was acquired through interviews with 23 residents of the Quincuncá community, northeastern Brazil. From the obtained data, a comparative analysis of the therapeutic indications with other 40 areas in different biomes was conducted. For that, the relative importance index and informant consensus factor were calculated and compared to other indices evaluated in the literature. Results A total of 39 medicinal species were cited and twenty-six species showed similarities among their therapeutic indications; however, species as Geoffroea spinosa, Lantana camara, and others can be highlighted, present in community disease indications that were not verified for other areas. Myracrodruon urundeuva, Mimosa tenuiflora, Stryphnodendron rotundifolium, and Amburana cearensis had the greatest versatility. In the Quincuncá community, medicinal species were indicated for 49 diseases, which were grouped into 15 categories of body systems. Conclusion This study shows the presented divergence in relation to their therapeutic use; in this point, these divergences reinforce the importance of pharmacological research.

This study investigated the effect of a nanogel loaded with Lippia sidoides essential oil and Myracrodruon urundeuva extract (NAA) in an excisional wound healing model in rats. Animals were anesthetized and skin wounds were made using a metal punch. The groups were treated with vehicle, NAA or collagenase gel, for 7, 14 or 21 days and then sacrificed for tissue analysis. Results NAA did not show acute dermal irritation, further significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the final wound area, accelerated the wound contraction and organization of collagen in the group treated for 14 days. Conclusions The data presented here demonstrate the therapeutic potential for the use of nanotechnology associated with medicinal plants and provides evidence that corroborate with the use of L. sidoides and M. urundeuva as healing medicinal plants.
