Pertencente à família Meliaceae, Trichilia catigua A. Juss possui casca com propriedades adstringente, inseticida, purgativa, tônica, bactericida, antiinflamatória e antidepressiva. Este estudo objetivou enraizar estacas de ramos lenhosos da espécie em diferentes estações do ano. Para tal, estacas com aproximadamente 15 cm de comprimento, coletadas de árvores adultas, foram preparadas da parte apical e mediana dos ramos e submetidas aos reguladores vegetais AIB (ácido indolbutírico), ANA (ácido naftalenoacético) e AIA (ácido 3-indolacético). Determinaram-se a porcentagem de estacas enraizadas e mortas e, quando enraizadas, seu comprimento e diâmetro. Na primavera de 2004, as estacas foram submetidas às concentrações de 1.000 e 2.000 mg L-1 de AIB, ANA e AIA e avaliadas aos 90 dias. As maiores porcentagens de enraizamento foram iguais a 33,33; 25,00; 22,91; e 23,43%, respectivamente com AIB 1.000, 2.000 mg L-1 e ANA 1.000 e 2.000 mg L-1. No verão, outono, inverno e primavera de 2005 os experimentos foram conduzidos com AIB, ANA e AIA nas concentrações de 1.000, 2.000 e 3.000 mg L-1, sendo as avaliações realizadas aos 120 dias. A maior porcentagem de enraizamento, igual a 19,17%, foi obtida com AIB 3.000 mg L-1. Na primavera de 2006 foram testadas as doses iguais a 1.000, 2.000, 3.000, 4.000 e 5.000 mg L-1 de AIB e 1.000, 2.000 e 3.000 mg L-1 de ANA. A maior porcentagem de enraizamento, 41,67%, foi obtida com a utilização de 5.000 mg L-1 de AIB.

A survey was conducted aiming to recognize and characterize the environments of occurrence of Trichilia species and their geographic distribuition, particulary T. catigua A. Juss, in Santa Catarina State. These informations will support a domestication strategy for agricultural production of this spcies. This species is widely used by traditional communities as dye and tonic beverage, as well as digestive and purgative. Some pharmaceutical and beverage industries in Brasil use bark of this species to prepare a tonic drink. There are several common names reffering the species and this situation can promove mistakes in collecting and selling processes. Termperature, soil, vegetational types and edaphoclimatic aspects have great influence on the occurrence of this species. Plant collection strategu was based on herbaria data and field verification. The vouchers were deposited at the Federal University of Parana herbarium (UPCB). The collection sites were geographically located, by latitude and longitude and these data were crossed with climate, soil, temperature, rainfall, altitude and vegetation maps. Catuaba occurs predominantly on a stational semidecidual forest and also on transitional forest with Araucaria and part of Atlantic forest. It is found growing in lower canopy, with fertile soils, and high content of organic matter. The main geomorphological formation are basaltic and the soil types vary from dark red latossol to yellow red latossol, including structured red latossl and cambissol from basaltic and granitic origin.

Trichilia catigua A. Juss. - Meliaceae has been traditionally used as a tonic and digestive medicine. Some Brazilian pharmaceutical firms use this species to produce phytopharmaceuticals and alcoholic beverages. The aim of this work is to determine its geographical distribution and characterise the environments where catuaba is found in the state of Paraná, in order to support the domestication strategy for the agricultural production of this species. Based on the literature, botanical collections and field observations it was established, that five species of the genus occurring in Paraná, which were identified as T casaretti, T catigua, T claussenii, T elegans, T pallida and another supposed to be T pattens. Trichilia catigua occurs within a wide but defined strip in the state. By evaluating data of climate; soil types; natural vegetation formations; mean, maximum and minimum temperatures; relative humidity; rainfall; altitudes and evapotranspiration the strip may be localised above latitude 25° in the central and Eastern regions of the state and above latitude 26° in South-western Parana. In general, T catigua was found to occur on fertile, organic-matter-rich soils and predominantly under forest canopies.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Trichilia catigua is broadly used in folk medicine due to its mental and physical tonic activities and stimulant effects. In animal models, its antidepressant-like effects have been associated with the dopaminergic (DA) system modulation, which has an important role on maternal behavior and male offspring reproductive development.Aim of the study: Since little is known about the adverse effects of the exposure to T. catigua crude extract (CAT) in rats, specially regarding maternal homeostasis and offspring development, the aim of the present study was to evaluate whether CAT exposure may influence maternal toxicity parameters and behavior or disrupt male offspring physical and reproductive development.Material and methods: Dams were treated daily (by gavage) with 400 mg/kg of CAT or vehicle (control=CTR) throughout pregnancy and lactation. Fertility and maternal behavior tests were conducted in dams. Male offspring reproductive and behavioral parameters were analyzed.Results: Dams exposed to CAT showed increased pre- and post-implantation losses rates when compared to CTR group. No significant changes regarding maternal behavior or male offspring parameters were observed.Conclusion: In conclusion, maternal exposure to CAT interfered with implantation during the initial phases of pregnancy but did not induce changes on maternal behavior or male offspring reproductive and behavioral parameters.

Hidrolipodistrofia ginóide (H.L.D.G.), a celulite, é comumente tratada com cosméticos contendo extratos vegetais. O estudo realizado foi: ultra-sonografia na avaliação da espessura da hipoderme e a microcirculação cutânea; uso de termômetro infravermelho na medida da temperatura e análise das medidas antropométricas da uma formulação cosmética anticelulítica contendo extrato hidroglicólico de Trichilia catigua e Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham (catuaba e marapuama). Foram realizadas medidas iniciais e após aplicação da formulação. Os resultados apresentaram alterações estatisticamente significativas para a temperatura cutânea e medidas antropométricas. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas medidas da hipoderme e microcirculação. Considerando os resultados, a formulação avaliada possui potencial ação coadjuvante na redução da hidrolipodistrofia ginóide. As técnicas podem ser associadas em conjunto com a avaliação sensorial e apreciabilidade cosmética. Os requisitos chaves para a reprodutibilidade das técnicas incluem ambiente controlado, monitoramento e climatização dos voluntários, procedimentos de medidas padronizados, protocolos de aplicação realístico e operadores qualificados.

O estudo fitossociológico, se realizado em diferentes estratos verticais da floresta, fornece dados de grande valia para a compreensão da dinâmica da comunidade. Efetuou-se levantamento das espécies arbóreas presentes em diferentes estratos, em área de 6.000 m² de floresta madura, na Estação Ecológica dos Caetetus, Gália, SP. Foram utilizadas 60 parcelas de 10 x 10 m, para indivíduos com diâmetro do caule a 1,30 m acima do nível do solo (DAP) a partir de 5 cm (estrato superior); 10 x 2 m, para indivíduos com DAP entre 1 e 5 cm (estrato intermediário) e 60 sub-parcelas de 2 x 2 m, para indivíduos menores que 1 cm de DAP (estrato inferior). Verificou-se que a diversidade, a composição florística e a densidade relativa das espécies variam entre estratos. No estrato superior, com 1.080 indivíduos.ha-1 e área basal de 31,2 m².ha-1, encontraram-se 62 espécies (28 famílias), tendo sido as mais importantes, em ordem decrescente de IVI: Metrodorea nigra, Savia dictyocarpa, Ocotea indecora, Aspidosperma polyneuron e Trichilia catigua. O estrato intermediário apresentou-se com densidade de 3.525 indivíduos.ha-1, pertencentes a 30 espécies (17 famílias), sendo as mais importantes em ordem decrescente de IVI: Metrodorea nigra, Actinostemon concolor, Trichilia catigua, Aspidosperma polyneuron e Trichilia clausenii. No estrato inferior a densidade foi de 28.875 indivíduos.ha-1, pertencentes a 37 espécies (19 famílias), sendo as mais abundantes, em ordem decrescente de densidade relativa: Metrodorea nigra, Actinostemon concolor, Trichilia catigua, Aspidosperma polyneuron e Eugenia blastantha. Constatou-se que há espécies do estrato superior da floresta que não foram observadas em regeneração, especialmente heliófitas de estádios sucessionais iniciais (p. ex. Croton floribundus). Outras ocorreram com densidade relativa decrescente nos estratos inferiores (p. ex. Savia dictyocarpa e Ocotea indecora). Para outras espécies, as sementes germinaram, mas não se desenvolveram à sombra, estando ausentes no estrato intermediário (p. ex. Cariniana estrellensis). Observou-se, ainda, um grupo de espécies, de estádios sucessionais mais avançados, que apresentaram a mesma densidade relativa em todos os estratos (p. ex. Metrodorea nigra e Aspidosperma polyneuron).

The objective of the present paper was to study the structure of a semi-deciduous forest. The main purpose was to verify if the floristic composition and/or structure is influenced by the mosaic developmental phase. The study has been done in 200 plots, each one measuring 10 × 10 m, forming a grid of 200m × 100 m in the center of the forest fragment. In to separate the study area in units representing different phases of forest mosaic (gap, construction and mature), the plots were classified by cluster analysis based on structural traits. The species with the highest influence the community structure were Aspidosperma polyneuron, Trichilia claussenii and Trichilia catigua.Gap, construction and mature phases presented different patterns in spite of the three species influence.

The Catuama((R)) is composed of four Brazilian plants extracts (Paullinia cupana, Trichilia catigua, Ptychopetalum olacoides e Zingiber officinale). The Catuama((R)) is known as having neuroprotector, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antidepressant effects. Bilobalide, extracted from leaves of Ginkgo biloba, is known by its neuroprotective effect in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The present study evaluates the effect of Catuama((R)) and bilobalide on peripheral nerve regeneration in rats following a sciatic nerve section. Sciatic nerve of forty adult rats was transected with a 10-mm gap and the proximal and distal nerve stumps were fixed in a silicone tube filled with liquid collagen. The animals were divided into four groups: the control group (A), two groups treated with Catuama((R)) by gavage along 28 days after the surgery in different doses of 100 (B) and 400mg. kg(-1) (C) and the group using 200 mu M bilobalide (D) associated with the liquid collagen in the silicone tube. Evaluations were done by a walk test on the first, fifth and tenth week after the surgery. Electrophysiological stimulation and quantitative and qualitative histological analyses of the sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius muscle were also performed on the tenth week after the surgery. All groups showed good regeneration but no statistical difference was found between treatments and control groups (P > 0.05).
