The Plant kingdom is responsible for the most part of the registered literature on chemical diversity, represented by natural products with complex structures, and with several biological activities, giving them a commercial interest as medicines, flavorings, fragrances and pesticides that play a relevant role in the worldwide economy. The Brazilian tropical flora may be considered one of…
This proposal aims at to contribute with the knowledge of the chemical constitution of volatile oils found in native species of the Atlantic Rain Forest as well as verifying the putative pharmacological activity of these oils (antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antitumour activities). The species whose oils presented constituents interesting for the aroma or pharmaceutical i…
Respiratory tract infections, chronicle lung diseases, diarrhea, HIV/AIDS, lung, trachea and bronchi cancer, diabetes, accidents and prematurity are the main causes of worldwide mortality according to WHO. Brazil has a rich flora, considered inexhaustible source of biologically active substances, therefore its preservation is critical both for its intrinsic value and its enormous potentia…
Plants are important in the discovery of new drugs, because they provide active ingredients for the synthesis of new drugs, which are based on chemical models derived from secondary compounds of plant. The secondary plant metabolism synthesizes compounds that contribute to defense against predators, attraction of pollinators, or remaining in its ecosystem, and thus can provide important b…

The plant kingdom is responsible for a large portion of the chemical diversity recorded in literature and, since the beginnings of civilization, has contributed significantly to the supply of useful substances to humans. It is still an untapped reservoir of new molecules with potential therapeutic interest and only a relative small percentage of the 400,000 known plant species have been s…
