Resumo: | Medicinal plants synthesize various secondary metabolites that can be used for therapeutic and antimicrobial purposes. In Brazil, the Unified Health System (SUS) offers several herbal medicines as an alternative in the treatment of various diseases. Considering the importance of these plants in the production of chemicals that expand therapeutic options and improve the health of SUS users, this review was carried out to quantitatively determine the antifungal activity of plants used as phytotherapeutics at RENAME. The selection of papers was performed at three distinct stages: examining and choosing titles related to antifungal action, reading the abstracts, and reading the whole selected articles. This review selected 22 studies of interest; 12 of them were conducted in Brazil and 10 were carried out in other countries. The papers chosen tested the growth inhibitory effect of plants against fungal species of agricultural and health importance, ranging from filamentous to yeast-like fungi, and Candida albicans was the most tested species. The growth of 39 fungal species were inhibited by some concentration of the extract used, with either an increase or decrease in antifungal activity depending on the extract used. The most frequently analyzed plant was the species Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi., studied in seven papers. The results found demonstrate the importance of analyzing medicinal plants and incorporating plant-based medicines in healthcare as an alternative source of treatment, highlighting the need for studies that evaluate the mechanisms action of their cytotoxicity and therapeutic effects in the human body. |

No Brasil, o SUS disponibiliza uma série de medicamentos fitoterápicos como alternativa ao tratamento de diversas enfermidades. Considerando a importância da utilização dessas plantas na produção de medicamentos que ampliem as opções terapêuticas e melhorem a atenção à saúde de usuários do sistema, elaborou-se este estudo de revisão com o objetivo de estimar quantitativamente a atividade antifúngica das plantas utilizadas como fitoterápicos contidas na RENAME. A seleção de artigos deu-se por meio de três etapas distintas: leitura e escolha de títulos relacionados à ação antifúngica, leitura dos resumos e leitura na íntegra dos artigos selecionados. Esta revisão selecionou 22 estudos de interesse, sendo 12 elaborados no Brasil e 10 em outros países. Os artigos escolhidos testaram a ação inibitória das plantas contra espécies de fungos de importância agrícola e sanitária, entre filamentosos e leveduriformes, sendo Candida albicans a espécie mais testada. Trinta e nove espécies foram inibidas por alguma concentração do extrato utilizado, havendo aumento ou diminuição da atividade antifúngica conforme substância extratora utilizada. A planta mais analisada foi a espécie Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi., estudada em sete artigos. Os resultados encontrados demonstram a importância da análise de plantas medicinais e da incorporação de medicamentos à base de plantas como fonte alternativa de tratamento, salientando a necessidade de estudos que demonstrem sua citotoxicidade e mecanismos de ação terapêutica no organismo humano.Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (ABES)2021-04-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/xmlhttps://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/article/view/76610.5327/Z21769478766Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (RBCIAMB); v. 56 n. 2 (2021): RBCIAMB - ISSN 2176-9478 - Junho; 296-304Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (RBCIAMB); Vol. 56 No. 2 (2021): RBCIAMB - ISSN 2176-9478 - June; 296-3042176-94781808-4524reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (ABES)instacron:ABESenghttps://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/article/view/766/613https://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/article/view/766/628Copyright (c) 2021 Brazilian Journal of Environmental Sciences (Online)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaciel, Mônica JachettiRempel, ClaudeteStroher, Amanda LuisaBergmann, Patrícia CayeMarmitt, Diorge Jônatas2023-11-09T17:40:19Zoai:ojs.www.rbciamb.com.br:article/766Revistahttp://www.rbciamb.com.br/index.php/Publicacoes_RBCIAMBhttps://www.rbciamb.com.br/Publicacoes_RBCIAMB/oairbciamb@abes-dn.org.br||2176-94781804-4524opendoar:2023-11-09T17:40:19Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (ABES)false |
