Resumo: Legumes of Cajanus genus are mainly known for Cajanus cajan specie, known as “guandu beans” and pigeonpea, originated from Asia was brought to Africa and the Americas. It is cultivated in all tropical and semi-tropical regions in the world and used as a soil phytoremediation plant, renewal of degraded pastures, animal and human consumption, in addition to pharmacological uses. The main biological active substances include alkaloids, flavonoids, reducing sugars, anthraquinones, tannins, phenols, triterpenoids, proteins and carbohydrates. Flavonoids appear to be largely responsible for pharmacological properties, however, other compounds, such as protease inhibitors, as well as biological activities have been studied. Guandu beans is widely used by traditional medicine to treat different types of conditions, especially diabetes, parasitic and other types of infections.

Se cultiva en todas las regiones tropicales y semi-tropicales del mundo y se utiliza como planta de fitorremediación del suelo, para la renovación de pasturas degradadas, para consumo animal y humano, así como para usos farmacológicos. Sus principales componentes biológicamente activos incluyen alcaloides, flavonoides, azúcares reductores, antraquinonas, taninos, fenoles, triterpenoides, péptidos, proteínas y carbohidratos. Los flavonoides parecen ser en gran parte responsables de las propiedades farmacológicas, sin embargo, se están estudiando otros compuestos como los péptidos inhibidores de la proteasa, así como sus actividades biológicas. C. cajan es ampliamente utilizado por la medicina tradicional para tratar diferentes tipos de patologías, especialmente diabetes, enfermedades parasitarias y otros tipos de infecciones.As leguminosas do gênero Cajanus são principalmente conhecidas pela espécie Cajanus cajan, vulgarmente denominada de “feijão guandu” e pigeonpea, originária da Ásia foi levada para a África e as Américas. Ela é cultivada em todas as regiões tropicais e semi-tropicais do mundo e utilizada como planta fitorremediadora de solos, para renovação de pastagens degradadas, na alimentação (animal e humana), além dos empregos farmacológicos. Seus principais componentes biologicamente ativos incluem alcaloides, flavonoides, açucares redutores, antraquinonas, taninos, fenóis, triterpenoides, peptídeos, proteínas e carboidratos. Os flavonoides parecem ser os grandes responsáveis pelas propriedades farmacológicas, contudo, outros compostos, como os peptídeos inibidores de proteases, assim como suas atividades biológicas estão sendo muito investigados. O feijão guandu é amplamente utilizado pela medicina tradicional para o tratamento de diferentes tipos de patologias, especialmente diabetes, doenças parasitárias e outros tipos infecções.Centro de Inovação em Biodiversidade e Saúde - Farmanguinhos/Fiocruz2022-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/84710.32712/2446-4775.2022.847Revista Fitos; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2022); 215-230Revista Fitos; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2022); 215-230Revista Fitos; v. 16 n. 2 (2022); 215-2302446-47751808-9569reponame:Revista Fitosinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/847/1031https://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/847/1032https://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/847/1086Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Fitosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva-López, Raquel ElisaTeixeira, Erika Maria Gomes Ferreira2022-07-15T12:19:03Zoai:ojs.revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br:article/847Revistahttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/PUBhttp://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/oairevistafitos@far.fiocruz.br || eugenio.telles@far.fiocruz.br2446-47752446-4775opendoar:2022-07-15T12:19:03Revista Fitos - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false
