In this present work an ethnographic research was performed with 84 native medicinal specimens from the Litoral Norte Riograndense, from which two plants Cleome spinosa Jacq e Pavonia varians Moric were submitted to ethnobotanic, phytochemistry and pharmacologic investigations. Additionally, a phytopharmacological research of the medicinal specimen Croton cajucara Benth ( native plant of the Amazon region of Brazil) was improved. The obtained phytochemical results of the C. spinosa and P. varians showed the presence of flavonoids constituents, among other components. The two flavonoids (2S)-5-hydroxy-7,4 -dimethoxy-flavanone and 5,4 -dihydroxy-3,7,3 -trimethoxy-flavone were isolated from C. spinosa. The antioxidant activity of the hydroalcoholic extracts of C. spinosa and P. varians solubilized in the microemulsion systems SME-1 and SME-4, was evaluated in the DPPHmethod. The used SME systems [obtained with Tween 80: Span 20 (3:1) and isopropyl myristate (IPM)] improved the dissolution of those tested polar extracts, with higher efficacy to the SME-1 system (in which ethanol was included as cosurfactant). The CE50 values evidenced for P. varians were 114 [g/mL (SME-1) and 246 [g/mL (SME-4); for C. spinosa it was 224 [g/mL (SME-1) and 248 [g/mL (SME-4), being the system SME-1 more effective for both tested extracts. The hydroalcoholic extracts of P. varians (HAE-PV) was also submitted to pharmacological screening for antinociceptive activity in animal models. The oral administration of this extract (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg) inhibited the acetic acid-induced writhing in mice. The higher inhibition (74%) was evidenced to the 1000 mg/kg administered dose. Its effect on the central nervous system (CNS) was investigated by tail flick and formalin-method and reveled that it has negligible antinociceptive action on the CNS. After taking consideration of HAE-PV interaction, Pavonia varians Moric could be used as a potent analgesic agent in case of peripheral algesia, without affecting the CNS. The phytochemical study of the stem bark of Croton cajucara Benth lead to the isolation of 19-nor-clerodanetype diterpenes, as well as to the separation of its fixed oil FO-CC. This non polar oil material reveled to be rich in sesquiterpenes and 19-nor-clerodanes components. The biologic effect of OF-CC was evaluated in the development in vitro of the fungis phytopatogens such as Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii. Significant inhibitory effect of the tested fungis (at 0,2 mg.mL-1 dosage) were comproved. A Mass Spectrometry study of clerodane-type diterpenes was developed in order to identify characteristic fragments on mass spectrometra of both clerodane and 19-nor-clerodane presenting an α,β-insaturated carbonyl moiety at ring A of the decalin-system. For that study, mass spectroscopy data were analysed for 19-nor-clerodanes [trans-dehydrocrotonin (DCTN), trans-crotonin (CTN), cis-cajucarin B (c-CJC-B), and cajucarinolide (CJCR)] and for clerodanes [isosacacarin (ISCR) and transcajucarin A (t-CJC-A)] obtained from the stem bark of C. cajucara, and also clerodane-type from other species. The trans-junction of the enone-system clerodanes was clear correlated with the presence of the characteristic ions at m/z 95, 121 e 205. Meanwhile, the characteristics ions at m/z 122 e 124 were correlated to cis-junction. The trans-junction of the enone-system 19-nor-clerodanes showed characteristics ions at m/z 161, 134 e 121. This study could be successful employed for identification of clerodane constituents from other specimens without any additional spectroscopic analyses, as well as a previously phytochemical analyzes in clerodane project search

Diabetes mellitus (DM) é uma síndrome de etiologia múltipla caracterizada por hiperglicemia crônica. Esta hiperglicemia induz o aumento na produção de espécies reativas de oxigênio (ERO) e diminuição das defesas antioxidantes. Devido às complicações causadas pelo diabete, muitos indivíduos optam por terapias alternativas à base de plantas medicinais para amenizar seus efeitos. Sendo assim, nesta revisão de literatura, foram analisados e descritos diversos trabalhos experimentais com a utilização de animais diabéticos para comprovar os efeitos antioxidantes de algumas dessas plantas e verificar se os títulos e resumos disponibilizados nos artigos são compatíveis aos objetivos de nossa busca.

As raízes de espécies de Pfaffia são utilizadas há muito na medicina popular no Brasil, especialmente como tônicas, afrodisíacas e antidiabéticas. Nas margens e ilhas do Rio Paraná, vegeta naturalmente a espécie Pfaffia glomerata (Spreng.) Pedersen, que corre risco de extinção pela coleta intensiva de suas raízes. Para preservá-la, é preciso desenvolver sistemas que permitam seu uso sustentável. Nesse contexto, foi avaliada a sazonalidade da produção de biomassa e o teor de β-ecdisona em raízes de diferentes acessos de P. glomerata. A coleta dos acessos foi realizada ao longo dos rios Paraná (A1 e A3), Ivaí (A2) e Paranapanema (A4). Mudas produzidas a partir desses acessos foram plantadas experimentalmente em área de ocorrência natural da espécie. O delineamento utilizado foi blocos casualizados, com parcelas subdivididas (acessos nas parcelas; épocas de colheita nas subparcelas), quatro repetições e subparcelas com seis plantas na área útil. Foram realizadas quatro colheitas: oito, dez, doze e quatorze meses após o plantio. As maiores produtividades em massa seca (MS) de raízes foram alcançadas na terceira colheita, com 38,41 g planta-1. Já o acesso A4 foi significativamente mais produtivo que os demais, tanto para massa fresca (94,67 g planta-1), quanto para MS de raízes (26,39 g planta-1). A relação MF/MS das raízes, com média de 26,9% (3,7:1), foi pouco influenciada pela origem dos acessos, embora tenha se alterado significativamente ao longo das colheitas (de 4,1:1, na primeira colheita, a 3,3:1, na terceira colheita, que correspondeu ao valor máximo). O teor de β-ecdisona foi estatisticamente similar nas três primeiras colheitas, variando de 0,26 a 0,38%, com redução drástica na última colheita (0,16%). Os acessos A2 e A3 foram aqueles com teor de β-ecdisona mais altos, respectivamente 0,36 e 0,30%. Considerando os resultados obtidos, sugere-se que a terceira colheita, que corresponde a doze meses após o transplante, como a mais adequada para colheita das raízes.

The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators in biomass production and essential oil yield content in lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf), in different seasons. The experiment was conducted on São Manuel Experimental Farm, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, UNESP - Botucatu. Which plants were randomly assigned into blocks to treatments with three repetitions. The treatments consisted of GA3 (50 and 100 mg L-1); Ethrel (100 and 200 mg L-1); CCC (500 and 1000 mg L-1); Alar 85 (1000 and 2000 mg L-1); Accel (20 and 40 mg 0L-1) and control. Four applications of plant growth regulators were realized every three months. After 40 days of each foliar spray, the plants were cut to determine the fresh weight and essential oil yield. The application of plant growth regulators did not increase the biomass production, showing difference among collect periods when the major production was detected at the fourth collect (summer). The greatest essential oil yield was found at the second collect (winter). In the present study, the used concentrations of plant growth regulators did not increase biomass neither essential oil yield.

Elicitation with chitosan is a tool used to improve the responses of plant defense by inducing secondary metabolism routs. In addition, the adequate application of this elicitor on medicinal plants can promote the increase of major components in the composition of the oil. However, we lack information concerning which are the main physiological processes responsible for the changes in the composition of the oil. Thus, we aimed at evaluating the action of chitosan and determine an ideal concentration for optimizing the production of essential oil in Achillea millefolium L. and the changes in the physiological processes responsible for this increase. The research was conducted in greenhouse of the Plant Physiology sector of the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA) with A. millefolium plants. The treatments consisted of control (water); acetic acid solvent (with no elicitor); and chitosan in the concentrations of 2, 4 and 6 g L -1 . The measurements of growth, gas exchange, enzyme activity of the antioxidant system and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), in addition to the production and composition of the essential oil. We verified that the application of chitosan promoted decrease in plant growth. However, the concentration of 4 g L -1 of chitosan induced an increase in the content and yield of the essential oil. In the oil, there was predominance of sesquiterpenic compounds, including the major compounds borneol, β-caryophyllene, β-cubebene, α-farnesene and chamazulene. The elicitation with chitosan at 4 g L -1 promoted an increase of the photosynthetic rate, activity of the antioxidant system and of PAL, however, this increase occurred in short-term, only in the first days after elicitation.
