Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The genus Erythroxylum presents about 240 species in pantropical distribution and the Brazil is the diversity center, with 114 species. The antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were identified for several species of the genus. In the Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states, South of Brazil, occur mainly E. argentinum e E. deciduum, in both the presence of some metabolites and the toxicity presented variation with the seasonality. Thus, the influence of climatic stations, summer and winter, about the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities was investigated for different extracts of this species. The study demonstrates wich the activities are influenced by climatic stations, the ethanolic extracts are more actives for the activities investigated and E. argentinum, summer collection, presents potential for the discovery of antimicrobial agents against Staphylococcus aureus.
