Abstract

This review describes the geographical distribution, botanical data, popular use, chemical composition, pharmacological activities and genetic aspects related to Eugenia luschnathiana, a native Brazilian plant popularly known as “bay pitomba”. E. luschnathianaleaves are characterized morphologically by the presence of a petiole, an attenuated base, acuminated apex, elliptical shape, and parallel venation. The major chemical compounds found in E. luschnathiana are sesquiterpenes. Literature reports showed that E. luschnathianaextracts have antioxidant properties and antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The extractsfrom the leaf, fruit and stem, and a concentrated residual solution of its essential oil, displayed negligible toxicity. Lastly, a cytogenetic analysis indicated that some markers can be used for the study of genetic diversity, population structure, and genetic improvements. The information available on E. luschnathianasupports the hypothesis that this plant may be a source of compounds with promising pharmacological activity.

植物的化学成分、抗氧化、抗菌活性、毒性、遗传分析及广泛应用。伯格·克罗兹前B.D.Jacks:文献综述

本文综述了巴西本土植物Eugenia luschnathiana的地理分布、植物资料、常用用途、化学成分、药理活性和遗传方面的研究进展。叶柄、基部变细、先端渐尖、椭圆形、平行脉生。在芦花中发现的主要化合物是倍半萜。文献报道表明，芦花草提取物对革兰氏阴性菌和革兰氏阳性菌均具有抗氧化和抗菌活性。从叶子、果实和茎中提取的提取物，以及其精油的浓缩残余溶液，毒性可以忽略不计。最后，细胞遗传学分析表明，一些标记可用于遗传多样性、群体结构和遗传改良的研究。现有的资料支持了这种植物可能是具有良好药理活性的化合物来源的假设。
