Phytochemical characterization, and antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the hydroethanolic extract of Anadenanthera peregrina stem bark

“…In this context, in Brazil, there are several medicinal plants that are used as herbal medicines by the rural and urban populations (Dutra et al, 2016;Pio et al, 2019). A single species can produce numerous chemical compounds with diverse pharmacological activities (Mendonça et al, 2019), including antibacterial (Pandini et al, 2018;Emre et al, 2020;Pacheco et al, 2020), anti-inflammatory (Ribeiro et al, 2018;Almohawes and Alruhaimi, 2020), antioxidant (Barth et al, 2018;Pontes et al, 2019;Vale et al, 2019), wound-healing properties (Ribeiro Neto et al, 2020), antihyperglycemic effect (Silva et al, 2020), and cardiovascular activity (Moreira et al, 2019).…”

Bioprospecting of Natural Compounds from Brazilian Cerrado Biome Plants in Human Cervical Cancer Cell Lines

“…These metabolites also have beneficial effects on human health. For this reason, some Cerrado plants are traditionally used to treat issues such as bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections, gastrointestinal disorders, arthritis, respiratory disorders, wound healing, and cancer-related conditions [ 13 , 16 , 17 ].…”
