Estudo fitoquímico e avaliação de atividades biológicas da planta Myrsine cuneifolia (Myrsinaceae)

Abstract

Myrsini cuneifolia (Myrsinaceae). The plant Myrsine cuneifolia is owned by the family Myrsinaceae and gender Myrsine, characterized by alquilbenziquinonas and a number of triterpenoids, the plants of this genus are known as capororoca, and several studies have reported biological activities such as cytotoxic, contraceptive, biocidal, antispermatogenic, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiplasmodial, and against diabetes mellitus. After literature where it was observed that there are no reports of studies on this plant so far. Besides a large number of compounds have been elucidated and the various activities presented on their family and their gender, and also for easy access, Myrsine cuneifolia was chosen for phytochemical studies, and evaluated for potential anti-tumor, antimicrobial, insecticidal and front the cathepsin K and B. Were isolated and identified myrsinóico A acid, which was submitted to the reactions of structural changes aimed at a structure-activity relationship, catechin, quercetin, quercetrin and ethyl aspartate, also observed the presence of several flavonoid glycosides, unidentified due to difficulties in isolation.
