The microorganism Sclerotinia was isolated from roots of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) Bertoni in plantations in the northwest of Parana and submitted to the cultivation in the presence of extracts and vegetable balsams of Tarragon (Artemisia draconculus), Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Manjerona (Origanum majorona), Mint citrata (Mintpiperita var. citrata), Purple Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), Andiroba (Carapa guanensis) and Copaíba (Copaifera reticulata Ducke). The first five oils were extracted by steam drags, after the drying of the vegetable in greenhouse with circulation of air at 45°C. The last two were used in natura. A suspension (100ìl) of fungus previously cultivated, was added to each plate. The results show that after 7 days of incubation the thyme oils 10ìl, purple basil 25ìl, manjerona 25ìl, mint citrata 50ìl, tarragon 50ìl were capable to inhibit the growth of Sclerotinia, while the andiroba oil only reached this result with 200ìl. The copaiba balsam, even in the concentration of 500ìl, was unable to inhibit the growth of the microorganism.

The number of studies of genotoxic activity of medicinal plants has been growing alongside with their increasing therapeutic use and scientific interest in proving their effectiveness for a variety of pharmacological purposes. This reflects the fact that many of the plants used by great numbers of people, in spite of their proven pharmacological value, can also cause harmful changes in the DNA. The risks are greater when alternative treatments are applied in an uncontrolled way, without due attention to correct botanical identification, to the part of the plant that should to be used and to the method of preparation and administration. In this review, aspects of the mutagenic activity of some medicinal plants are discussed.

INTRODUCTION: Microsporum canis is the most common cause of canine and feline dermatophytosis and thus has an important zoonotic role. OBJECTIVES: the aim of this study was to determine the antifungal action of medicinal plant extracts and of eucalyptus oil against pathogenic fungus Microsporum canis. METHODS: the extracts were prepared by mixing 300 g of previously washed leaves with 450 mL of distilled water. Then the material was triturated, filtered, sterilized and conserved at 10 + 2 oC. Fifteen milliliters of sterilized medium Sabouraud dextrose (Difco) at a temperature of 55 + 1 oC was added in Petri dishes containing the extracts in one, two, three, four and five mm concentrations. The fungus was inoculated once the medium was solidified. The inoculated dishes were maintained in B.O.D. incubator at 36 ± 0,5 oC until the fungus developed in the controls. RESULTS: the extracts from Punica granatum, Mangifera indica and Eucalyptus spp reduced the growth of fungus, but the extracts from Cymgopogom nardus, Tagetes minuta, Ruta graviolens, Cyperus rotundus, Annona moricata and Calendula spp leaves and flowers boosted the growth of fungus. The other extracts and the eucalyptus oil neither show any fungicidal action nor encourage mycelium growth. CONCLUSIONS: the use of most tested extracts and eucalyptus oil is not suitable for the treatment of Microsporum canis dermatophytosis due to lack of inhibitory effects. The extracts from Cymgopogom nardus, Tagetes minuta, Ruta graviolens, Cyperus rotundus, Annona moricata and from of Calendula spp leaves and flowers help the development of the fungus making clear that phytotherapy should be properly used, otherwise it can worsen the problem. However; extracts from Mangifera indica, Punica granatum and Eucalyptus spp. can be used as fungistatic.

Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) can be seen as a common clinical condition responsible for substantial economic, social and psychological costs, due to its high morbidity, especially since it affects adults in their productive phase. Its development in the urinary tract is a complex and multifactorial process. The majority of kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate. A lot of plants are used to treat nephrolithiasis and they often exhibit calcium oxalate crystals in the parts that are employed for this medicinal purpose, representing a possible risk. In this light, we performed a literature review via the databases Scielo, PubMed and Medline and found 28 articles reporting the traditional use of plants in the treatment of nephrolithiasis. The occurrence of calcium oxalate crystals was indicated in 19 species. We argue that the use of these plants could give rise to adverse effects in people who are prone to form calcium oxalate stones in the kidney.

No município de IgarapéMiri, como em todo o estado do Pará, é comum o uso de plantas medicinais para o tratamento de muitas doenças. Da mesma maneira, em vários estados do país se têm registrado programas oficiais de plantas medicinais e para mapear as espécies vegetais utilizadas na fitoterapia popular aplicamse metodologias etnoorientadas tais como a etnobotânica e a etnofarmacologia, principalmente. A partir das ciências farmacêuticas elaborouse a etnofarmácia, que vem sendo empregada em nível mundial para levantar plantas medicinais e avaliar os remédios preparados a partir delas. O objetivo geral desse trabalho é contribuir para a consolidação da Etnofarmácia e para a implementação da PNPMF no estado do Pará, trazendo informações colhidas sobre indicação de plantas medicinais, preparação e administração de remédios vegetais e problemas relacionados ao uso deles. Mais especificamente, visa determinar a nosogeografia regional, identificar e selecionar os recursos terapêuticos vegetais utilizados para o tratamento das doenças prevalentes, conhecer e caracterizar do ponto de vista farmacêutico os remédios a base de vegetais citados. Elaborar fichas com informações sobre vegetais selecionados nos moldes de uma monografia são outros objetivos aqui propostos. A ferramenta empregada para atingir os objetivos é o levantamento etnofarmacêutico que associa elementos de outros métodos etnoorientados com os preceitos da Assistência Farmacêutica. Aplicado em oitenta e seis comunidades do município, em dois momentos, o primeiro no ano 2000 e o segundo em março/abril de 2008, o método forneceu dados que foram tabulados em planilhas Excel e plotados em gráficos. Assim, foram detectados 91 agravos, 236 espécies vegetais, distribuídas em 72 famílias botânicas, e sete formas de administração diferentes. 38 eventos adversos também puderam ser identificados. As dez espécies com maior freqüência relativa de citação tiveram levantados seus dados bibliográficos que, associados aos dados etnofarmacêuticos, poderão ser utilizados para compor um Memento Fitoterápico do Município.
