Resumo: One of the most promising plants in the Amazon region that has been attracting attention in the health area is an Uncaria tomentosa, also known as cat's claw. Concerning the importance of using medicinal plants for a population and that U. tomentosa is a very present plant in the Amazon region. The present study aims to gather the main information about the therapeutic effects of U. tomentosa both in vitro and in vivo. The most important group of secondary metabolites present in U. tomentosa are the alkaloids. These alkaloids are used as markers to analyze species quality. Antioxidant activities of free radical scavenging, as well as against DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, were observed in U. tomentosa extracts. Recently, antiplatelet effects, as well as an effect of inhibiting the production of tumor necrosis factor and the ability to elevate the expression of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1ß) dependent on lipopolysaccharide, were found. U. tomentosa has bioactivities that make it an important medicinal plant due to its functional properties. The easy access to U. tomentosa is another point that should be highlighted, considering that it is a widely distributed plant in Brazil, thus making it a possible plant for use with herbal medicine. The present study presents a broad vision around the subject portrayed, opening doors for new discoveries and extolling the properties already reported in the literature.

Considerando a importância da utilização de plantas medicinais para a população e que a U. tomentosa é uma planta bastante presente na região amazônica. O presente estudo visa reunir as principais informações sobre os efeitos terapêuticos U. tomentosa tanto in vitro com in vivo. O grupo de metabólitos secundários mais importante presentes na U. tomentosa são os alcaloides. Estes alcaloides são utilizados como marcadores para análise da qualidade da espécie. Foram observadas atividades antioxidantes de captura de radicais livres, assim como contra danos no DNA e contra peroxidação lipídica, em extratos de U. tomentosa.  Recentemente constatou-se efeitos antiplaquetários, assim como, efeito de inibição da produção de fator de necrose tumoral e capacidade de elevação da expressão de interleucina 1 beta (IL-1β) dependente de lipopolissacarídeo. A U. tomentosa apresenta inúmeras bioatividades o que o torna um importante planta medicinal devido a suas propriedades funcionais. O fácil acesso a U. tomentosa é outro ponto que deve ser ressaltado, tendo em vista que é uma planta amplamente distribuída no brasil e tornando assim uma possibilidade de planta para uso com fitoterápico. O presente estudo apresenta uma ampla visão em torno do assunto retratado abrindo portas para novas descobertas e enaltecendo as propriedades já relatadas na literatura.Sustenere Publishing2021-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/626410.6008/CBPC2236-9600.2022.001.0036Scire Salutis; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2022): Scire Salutis - Out, Nov, Dez 2021, Jan 2022; 328-336Scire Salutis; Vol. 12 Núm. 1 (2022): Scire Salutis - Out, Nov, Dez 2021, Jan 2022; 328-336Scire Salutis; v. 12 n. 1 (2022): Scire Salutis - Out, Nov, Dez 2021, Jan 2022; 328-3362236-9600reponame:Scire Salutisinstname:Companhia Brasileira de Produção Científica (CBPC)instacron:ESSporenghttps://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/6264/3523https://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/6264/3522Copyright (c) 2022 Scire Salutishttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibeiro, Nathelle Rosa Ribeiro, Jessica SilvaSantos, Jânio Sousa2023-01-04T20:16:22Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6264Revistahttps://sustenere.co/index.php/sciresalutisONGhttps://sustenere.co/index.php/sciresalutis/oai||carlos@arvore.org.br2236-96002236-9600opendoar:2023-01-04T20:16:22Scire Salutis - Companhia Brasileira de Produção Científica (CBPC)false
