Preventive measures against skin photoaging are necessary and one of the ways to avoid it is to use sunscreen. The genus Marcetia (Melastomataceae) is endemic of rocky fields in northeastern Brazil and are adapted to high sunlight conditions due to bioproduction of flavonoids. The initial goal of this work was to evaluate the antioxidant activities, photoprotection (UVB/UVA) and toxicity of ethanolic extracts of M. taxifolia, M. macrophylla and M. latifolia. Thus, it was investigated the potential photoprotection of the extracts incorporated at 5, 10, 20 and 30% by polawax? lotion. All tests were performed in vitro. The formulations were evaluated in the physicochemical standpoint. In addition it was held HPLC-DAD for identification and quantification of flavonoids. The spectrophotometric method was used to determine the total level of flavonoids (TFC), DPPH? (antioxidant activity) and photoprotective activity (UVB/UVA). The evaluation of toxicity was made by means of the HET-CAM test, and hemolysis rate. The most promising extract was fractionated. Photoprotective formulations have been developed (5, 10, 20 and 30%), which also had their sunscreen profile UVB / UVA evaluated. The M. taxifolia showed higher quercetin content, with 55.78 g/Kg and 168 ?g/mL, following the studies of HPLC-DAD and TFT. All Marcetia ssp extracts had an antioxidant activity around 95%. Likewise, the three species had good results to SPF and UVA photoprotection. The species that has better value SPF was M. macrophylla (20.25) and UVA protection was M. taxifolia (86.04%), but these species have a higher toxic potential related to M. latifolia, which also had a good value SPF (13.12) and UVA (78.09%). The toxicity results show that this species is more secure and is considered an irritant and of weak hemolysis rate (23.51%), while the other species had a hemolysis rate ? 50%. Given these results EEML was fractionated into five fractions (MLFR02, MLFR03, MLFR04, MLFR05, MLFR06). After testing, MLFR02 showed good UVB sunscreen activity (17,52) and UVA (87.49%), but the safest was MLFR02 beyond presenting results in a high SPF value (37.82) when incorporated into the emulsion which makes it suitable for individuals who are very sensitive to sunburn. / A radia??o solar ? o principal fator de surgimento de patologias t?picas. Medidas preventivas contra o fotoenvelhecimento cut?neo s?o necess?rias e umas das formas ? o uso de fotoprotetores. O g?nero Marcetia (Melastomataceae) ? end?mico dos campos rupestres do nordeste brasileiro e s?o adaptadas as condi??es de alta incid?ncia solar devido ? bioprodu??o de flavonoides. Este trabalho teve como objetivo inicial avaliar as atividades antioxidante, fotoprotetora (UVB/UVA) e toxicidade dos extratos etan?licos de M. taxifolia, M. macrophylla e M. latifolia. Em seguida, foi investigado o potencial fotoprotetor dos extratos incorporados a 5, 10, 20 e 30% em lo??o polawax?. Todos os testes foram realizados in vitro. As formula??es foram avaliadas do ponto de vista f?sico-qu?mico. Em adi??o realizou-se CLAE-DAD para identifica??o e quantifica??o dos flavonoides. O m?todo espectrofotom?trico foi usado para determina??o do teor total de flavonoides (TFC), m?todo DPPH? (atividade antioxidante) e atividade fotoprotetora (UVB/UVA). A avalia??o da toxicidade foi feita por meio do teste HET-CAM e hem?lise. O extrato mais promissor foi fracionado. Foram desenvolvidas formula??es fotoprotetoras (5, 10, 20 e 30%), as quais tamb?m tiveram seu perfil fotoprotetor UVB/UVA avaliados. A M. taxifolia apresentou maior teor de quercetina, com 55,78 g/Kg e 168 ?g/mL, conforme os estudos de CLAE-DAD e TFT. Todos os extratos de Marcetia ssp. tiveram uma atividade antioxidante em torno de 95%. Da mesma forma que as tr?s esp?cies tiveram bons resultados de FPS e fotoprote??o UVA. A esp?cie que apresentou melhor valor de FPS foi a M. macrophylla (20,25) e prote??o UVA foi a M. taxifolia (86,04%), por?m estas esp?cies tem um potencial t?xico superior a M. latifolia, que tamb?m teve um bom valor de FPS (13,12) e prote??o UVA (78,09%). Os resultados de toxicidade mostram que esta esp?cie foi a mais segura, sendo considerada um irritante fraco e com uma taxa de hem?lise de 23,51%, enquanto as outras esp?cies tiveram a taxa de hem?lise ? 50%. Diante destes resultados o EEML foi fracionado em cinco fra??es (MLFR02, MLFR03, MLFR04, MLFR05, MLFR06). Ap?s os ensaios, a MLFR02 apresentou boa atividade fotoprotetora UVB (FPS: 17, 52) e UVA (87,49%), por?m a mais segura foi a MLFR02, al?m de apresentar um alto valor FPS (37,82) quando incorporada ? emuls?o o que a faz ser indicada para indiv?duos muito sens?veis a queimadura solar.
