چکیده
Trichilia catigua is a Brazilian native species known as “catuaba”. This study investigated the chromatographic features hydroalcoholic extracts that were obtained by different techniques, from barks and leaves. The chromatographic analysis has demonstrated the presence of chlorogenic acid, epicathechin and cathechin, as well as the presence of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol in both analyzed plant parts. The best results were those when it was used turbo-extraction, extraction using Soxhlet apparatus and ethanol 50%.

Two epimeric flavalignans from Trichilia catigua (Meliaceae) with antimicrobial activity.
A mixture of flavalignan cinchonains Ia and Ib was isolated from the bark of Trichilia catigua. The structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic data of the natural products and their methylated derivatives including 2D NMR experiments, and compared with data in the literature. These flavalignans exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of endophytic bacterial isolates from leaves of the medicinal plant Trichilia elegans A. Juss. (Meliaceae).
Various organisms such as fungi and bacteria can live inside plants, inhabiting the aerial parts (primarily the leaves) without causing damage. These microorganisms, called endophytes, produce an extensive variety of compounds that can be useful for medical and agronomic purposes. Trichilia elegans A. Juss., belonging to the Meliaceae family, shows wide dispersion in South America, and phytoche...
متن کاملAntinociceptive Activity of Trichilia catigua Hydroalcoholic Extract: New Evidence on Its Dopaminergic Effects
Trichilia catigua is a native plant of Brazil; its barks are used by some local pharmaceutical companies to prepare tonic drinks, such as Catuama. The present study was addressed to evaluate the effects of T. catigua hydroalcoholic extract in mouse nociception behavioral models, and to evaluate the possible mechanisms involved in its actions. Male Swiss mice were submitted to hot-plate, writhin...
متن کاملIn vitro antioxidant activity of stem bark of Trichilia catigua Adr. Juss.
Antioxidant activity of the ethanolic extract and fractions from the stem bark of T. catigua was investigated. IC₅₀ (for DPPH scavenging) by T. catigua varied from 9.17 ± 0.63 to 76.42 ± 5.87 mg mL⁻¹ and total phenolic content varied from 345.63 ± 41.08 to 601.27 ± 42.59 mg GAE g⁻¹ of dry extract. Fe²⁺-induced lipid peroxidation was significantly reduced by the ethanolic extract and fractions. ...
متن کاملAntioxidant Activity and Total Phenolic Content of Some Brazilian Species
The antioxidant activity of extracts and fractions of six vegetal species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest were determined. The total antioxidant activity was assessed based on the scavenging activity of the stable DPPH free radical. Eight extracts or fractions of plants showed significant DPPH scavenging activity (IC50 10.0 mg=mL) compared with the values obtained for ascorbic acid (IC50 1⁄4...
