RESUMEN
O estudo químico de Aloysia gratissima (Gillies & Hook.) Tronc. e Aloysia virgata (Ruiz & Pav.) Pers., Verbenaceae, resultou no isolamento de quatorze substâncias. Suas estruturas foram determinadas com base nos dados de IV, RMN de ¹H e de 13C uni e bidimensionais e comparação com dados da literatura. A atividade antibacteriana do extrato bruto das folhas e caules e das frações de A. virgata, bem como as substâncias hoffmaniacetona e seu monoacetato, verbascosídeo e arenariosídeo, foram avaliadas através do método de bioautografia e a atividade antiedematogênica foi avaliada pelo modelo de edema de orelha induzido para os extratos brutos e frações metanólicas de A. gratissima e A. virgata..
Phytochemical study of Aloysia gratissima (Gillies & Hook.) Tronc. e Aloysia virgata (Ruiz & Pav.) Pers., Verbenaceae, afforded fourteen compounds. The structures were established using IR, 1D and 2D NMR and by comparison of its spectroscopic data to those of literature. The antibacterial activity of the crude extract from the leaves and branches and the fractions from the crude extract of A. virgata, besides the isolated compounds hoffmaniacetone, hoffmaniacetone monoacetate, verbascoside and arenarioside were evaluated by means of bioautography and the antiedematogenic activity was evaluated using induced ear oedema model to the crude extracts and methanol fractions for A. gratissima and A. virgata.
RESUMEN
Ethanolic extracts from leaves of Hyptis ovalifolia, H. suaveolens, H. saxatilis, Hyptidendrum canum, Eugenia uniflora, E. dysenterica, Caryocar brasiliensis and Lafoensia pacari were investigated for their antifungal activity against dermatophytes. The most effective plants were H. ovalifolia and E. uniflora, while Trichophyton rubrum was the most sensitive among the four dermatophytes species evaluated. This study has demonstrated antifungal properties of Brazilian Cerrado plant extracts in in vitro assays
