Caatinga: barn of antioxidant and nutraceutical bio-actives

The Caatinga, of Brazilian exclusivity, is compound by adapted plants for the climate-specific conditions present in this region. natural resources phytogeography domain are used local communities as foods source, regional economics develops, and traditional medicine. Folk medicine applied a tradition through fraction plants, such roots, leaves, fruits, to treat inflammation, tumor, metabolic or degenerative diseases. Although technological pharmaceutical industrial process shows exponential development benefits human health, search new treatments, naturals, alternatives linked with significant consciousness populations some knowledge about folk their compounds not vast. In way, review aimed realize systematic research considering 26 species endemics Caatinga most biological potential. As result, it was observed that have more studies antioxidative immunomodulatory activities. previous relation between accumulation reactive oxygen (ROS) different immunological With review, we propose contribute biotechnological potential science health.
