The new global trends of a concern for biodiversity and the ideas of sustainable development have brought new air to studies of Brazilian medicinal plants. New lines of research were established in Brazilian universities, some of them seeking solid basis for the validation of the use of medicinal plants, thus justifying this work, using aqueous extracts of plants place of occurrence, such as Cinnamomum spp., Mentha piperita and Passiflora foetida, inhibition of growth of some species of the genus Aspergillus tox?genas, previously studied in the literature and identified as antifungal and encouraging the use of plants to replace chemicals. Using the method of minimum inhibitory concentration in agar, with the technique of dilution plate (Pour-Plate), being held dilutions of different extracts, from a solution of 5% and resulting in the dilution of 2.5% and 1.25%. Batteries tests were incubated at the 36oC. It was held also test for sensitivity to antifungal commercial - Ketoconazole. It was observed that the aqueous extract of Cinnamomum spp. was able to inhibit the mycelial growth of A. flavus and A. carbonarius at concentrations of 2.5% and 5% in readings of 48 hours. The other aqueous extracts, used in this work, showed no inhibitory effect of mycelial growth of fungi tested. / Muitas ?reas est?o envolvidas na pesquisa de novas subst?ncias oriundas de plantas.

The species were grown in the Experimental Station Horto Florestal State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS) in the city of Feira de Santana - Bahia. The essential oils are extracted from dry leaves and inflorescences, by hydrodistillation in Clevenger apparatus, and chemical composition was determined by GC/MS and GC/FID. Were carried out quantitative and qualitative morphological characterizations, in addition to agronomic characterization. The leaf anatomy, types and frequency of hair were observed in binocular microscope and electronic scanning light. The antioxidant activity was assessed by the ability of the substances present in the sample capture the free radical DPPH, using five concentrations of essential oils (2, 6, 10, 14 and 18 mg mL1) and the antifungal activity by mycelium growth in vitro testing five essential oil concentrations (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.25 ?L mL-1). In conditions where the study was conducted, it can be concluded that there are morphological differences between species in all traits, except only the number of flowers per inflorescence; there agronomic differences for all traits with L. lasiocalycina stood out in relation to the variable oil yield, while L. insignis and L. thymoides regarding the essential oil content; were identified six types of glandular trichomes one, two and tetracelular and three types of trichomes; the species L. bromleyana presents as differential anatomical absence of trichomes on the abaxial surface; L. thymoides has glandular trichomes with irregular contours on both sides, distinguishing it from other species; the frequency of trichomes on the abaxial surface is higher in species L. insignis and L. lasiocalycina, which are more anatomically similar; the major compounds found in the samples of essential oils of L. bromleyana, L. lasiocalycina, L. insignis and L. thymoides were piperitone oxide and limonene; E-ocimenona, myrcenone, myrcene, ?-myrcene and ?-cymene; thymol, myrcenone and E-ocimenona; and ?-caryophyllene, germacrene D, respectively; L. insignis and L. bromleyana stood out in relation to the antioxidant and antifungal activity, respectively. / O objetivo desse trabalho foi caracterizar a morfologia e a produ??o, teor, composi??o qu?mica e atividade bioativa de ?leos essenciais de Lippia bromleyana, Lippia lasiocalycina, Lippia insignis e Lippia thymoides, esp?cies end?micas do semi?rido baiano.

O Brasil, por sua vez, ? detentor de uma vasta diversidade biol?gica e possui uma grande quantidade de esp?cies vegetais com potencial medicinal. Dentre os diversos biomas do territ?rio brasileiro, o Cerrado representa o segundo maior, registrando-se muitas esp?cies medicinais. Apesar de sua rica biodiversidade muitas plantas end?micas deste bioma foram pouco estudadas do ponto de vista qu?mico e biol?gico. Consequentemente, ? necess?rio maior investimento em pesquisas com plantas medicinais para tratamento de doen?as, principalmente, as cr?nicas degenerativas e parasit?rias, como Doen?a de Chagas, Leishmanioses, C?ncer e as infec??es causadas por bact?rias e fungos, cujo o tratamento apresenta importantes limita??es. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a triagem fitoqu?mica e de atividades biol?gicas de extratos etan?licos de 12 esp?cies de plantas oriundas do Cerrado, coletadas no mun?cipio de Diamantina, Vale do Jequitinhonha/MG. Para a triagem fitoqu?mica preliminar destes extratos foram realizadas rea??es cromog?nicas, de precipita??es e an?lises em cromatografia em camada delgada comparativa (CCDC). A citotoxicidade para c?lulas normais de mam?feros foi avaliada em fibroblastos de camundongos (L929). A linhagem celular de c?ncer de mama MDA-MB-231 foi a utilizada para a avalia??o da atividade antitumoral dos extratos. A avalia??o da atividade antitripanossomat?deo foi realizada sobre formas epimastigotas da cepa Colombiana de Trypanossoma cruzi e, sobre as formas promastigotas das cepas BH46 de Leishmania (leishmania) infantum e cepa M2269 de Leishmania (leishmania) amazonensis. Para a avalia??o destas atividades foi empregada a t?cnica colorim?trica de MTT. A avalia??o das atividades antibacteriana e antif?ngica foi realizada por meio da determina??o da Concentra??o Inibit?ria M?nima (CIM), empregando a t?cnica colorim?trica da Resazurina. As esp?cies de bact?rias utilizadas foram Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Staphylococcus aureus. Na atividade antif?ngica foram utilizadas quatro esp?cies de leveduras (Candida albicans, Candida famata, Candida krusei e Candida tropicalis) e duas esp?cies de fungos filamentosos (Aspergillus niger e Penicillium expansum). Dos 13 extratos avaliados com rela??o a citotoxicidade sobre fibroblastos de camundongos da linhagem L929, todos apresentaram algum grau de citotoxicidade. Alguns destes extratos apresentaram elevada toxicidade sobre esta linhagem celular, sendo que o extrato etan?lico das folhas de E. erythropappus foi o mais t?xico. Na avalia??o da atividade antitumoral, com exce??o do extrato etan?lico das folhas de P. rigida, todos os outros extratos avaliados apresentaram atividade. Destes o mais promissor tamb?m foi o extrato etan?lico das folhas de E. erythropappus. Na avalia??o da atividade tripanocida sobre formas epimastigotas da cepa Colombiana de T. cruzi, nove extratos foram ativos contra este parasito. Destes os mais promissores foram os extratos das folhas de A. aculeata e das folhas de E. erythropappus. Na avalia??o da atividade leishmanicida para a cepa M2269 os extratos etan?licos das folhas de E. erythropappus e das folhas de B. oxyclada apresentaram como os mais promissores e, para a cepa BH46 o extrato etan?lico de toda esp?cie T. catahartica foi o mais promissor, seguido tamb?m do extrato etan?lico das folhas de E. erythropappus. Na avalia??o da atividade antibacteriana somente os extratos etan?licos das folhas de B. oxyclada, de P. tomentosa e S. rugosa foram ativos e, as ?nicas bact?rias sens?veis foram P. aeruginosa e S. aureus. Destes o extrato etan?lico de P. tomentosa inibiu um maior n?mero de bact?rias com a??o bactericida. Os fungos filamentosos, A. niger e P. expansum, se mostraram resistentes a todos os extratos avaliados e C. krusei foi a levedura mais sens?vel. Os extratos das folhas de B. oxyclada e das folhas de P. tomentosa foram os extratos que inibiram o maior n?mero de esp?cies f?ngicas com os menores valores de CIM. Atrav?s destes resultados, sugere-se que os extratos etan?licos das folhas de Eremanthus erythropappus, de Peixotoa tomentosa e de Banisteriopsis oxyclada apresentaram o maior n?mero de atividades biol?gicas e com os melhores resultados, o que torna estas esp?cies as mais promissoras como fontes potenciais de mol?culas bioativas para o tratamento de C?ncer, Doen?a de Chagas, Leishmanioses e infe??es bacterianas e f?ngicas, necessitando de mais estudos a fim de identificar as subst?ncias respons?veis por tais atividades e pela citotoxicidade e, valid?-las atrav?s de outros modelos in vitro e in vivo. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa de P?s-gradua??o em Ci?ncias Farmac?uticas, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, [2016]. / Plants are a potencial source of biologically active substances and they are used for therapeutic purposes since the beginning of human civilization. Brazil, in turn, holds a vast biological diversity and has a lot of plant species with medicinal potential. Among the various biomes of Brazil, the Cerrado is the second largest, registering many medicinal species. Consequently, it is necessary to invest more in research of medicinal plants as possible new treatments, especially for the degenerative and chronic disease such as Chagas, Leishmaniasis, cancer and infections caused by bacteria and fungi, whereof treatment has big limitations. The objective of this study was the phytochemical screening and biological activities studies of ethanolic extracts of 12 plants species from the Cerrado, collected in the municipality of Diamantina, Vale do Jequitinhonha / MG.For the preliminary phytochemical screening were made chromogenic and precipitation reactions and analysis in thin-layer chromatography. Cytotoxicity for normal mammalian cells was evaluated in mouse fibroblasts (L929) and the cell line of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 was used to analyze the antitumor activity of the extracts. The evaluation of antitripanossomatideo activity was performed using epimastigotas of Colombiana Trypanosoma cruzi strain and promastigotes of BH46 Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum strain and M2269 Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis strain. The analyze of these activities were based at the colorimetric MTT technique. The evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activities was performed by determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) employing the colorimetric Resazurin technique. Species of bacteria used were Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. In the antifungal activity were used four species of yeast (Candida albicans, Candida famata, Candida krusei and Candida tropicalis) and two species of filamentous fungi (Aspergillus niger and Penicillium expansum). Of the 13 extracts evaluated for cytotoxicity using the L929 strain mouse fibroblasts, all they had some cytotoxicity level. Some of these extractsthen showed a high toxicity in this assay cell line, wherein the ethanolic extract of E. erythropappus leaves was the most toxic. In the evaluation of antitumor activity all extracts showed activity, exception for the extract of P. rigida leaves. Among these the most promising was either the ethanolic extract of the leaves of E. erythropappus. Evaluation of trypanocidal activity using Colombian strain of T. cruzi epimastigotas, present active for nine extracts against this parasite, been the A. aculeata and leaves E. erythropappus leaf extract the most promising. Leishmanicidal activity for the M2269 strain of E. erythropappus B. oxyclada leaf extract presented as the most promising and, for the BH46 strain the T. catahartica role plant extract shows the best results, followed by the E. erythropappus leaf extract. In the antibacterial activity assay only the B. oxyclada, P. tomentosa and S. rugosa leaf extracts were active, and the only for P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. Among these the P. tomentosa extract inhibited a greater number of bacteria with bactericidal action. Filamentous fungus A. niger and P. expansum were resistant to all extracts evaluated and C. krusei was the most sensitive yeast. P. tomentosa and B. oxyclada leaf extracts inhibited more yeast species but with the lowest MIC values. Due these results, it is suggested that the E. erythropappus of P. tomentosa and B. oxyclada leaf ethanolic extracts showed the greatest of biological activities, making these the most promising species as potential sources of bioactive molecules for the treatment of cancer, Chagas disease, Leishmaniasis and bacterial and fungal infections, yet requiring further studies to identify the substances responsible for such activities and cytotoxicity and validate them through other models in vitro and in vivo.
