Resumo: | The present paper reports a broad literature review on the Araceae family, focusing the genera with popular allegation of medicinal use. The review was carried through different databases, specialized periodicals and books. The Araceae family comprises ornamental, toxic and medicinal plants. Species with allegations of popular use against serpent bites and scurvy, as well as vermifuge, laxative, and hemostatic, among other uses, are described. The Pistia genus includes P. stratiotes, popularly known as santa-luzia with, repolho-d’água, alface-d’agua and golfo, with popular allegations of activity as diuretic, antipyretics, stranguria, hematuria, diabetes, hemoptysis, hydropsy, arthritis, liver affections, and treatment of scurvy. However, these popular allegations lack of validation studies. Phytochemically, steroids have been isolated from this species. Certainty the mostly studied genus of this family in terms of biological activities is Montrichardia that has been evaluated for antiplasmodial, antibacterial, antifungal, and antinociceptive activities. Another genus of this family with allegation of popular use is Philodendron, with the following allegations: treatment of serpent bites and pain killer, laxative, hemostatic and vermifuges. Phytochemical studies led to the isolation of sitosteol and other substances. Biological studies confirmed activities against Trypanosoma cruzi and Trichomonas vaginalis, but the mechanisms involved in toxicity are still not completely elucidated. In summary, this family includes different species with therapeutical potential that deserve validation studies. |

Esta revisão enfocou os gêneros Pistia, Philodendron e Montrichardia com alegação popular de uso medicinal. A pesquisa foi realizada em diferentes bases de dados, periódicos e livros especializados sobre o tema. A família Araceae é constituída por espécies ornamentais, tóxicas e medicinais. Pistia stratiotes conhecida popularmente como erva-de-santa-luzia, repolho-d’água, alface-d’agua e golfo, é usada como diurético, antifebrífugo, para tratamento de estrangúria, hematúria, diabetes, hemoptise, hidropsia, artrite, afecções hepáticas e escorbuto. Entretanto, estas alegações populares carecem de estudos de validação. Em termos químicos, foram isolados esteroides. O gênero mais estudado desta família, em termos de atividades biológicas, é o Montrichardia, sendo avaliadas suas atividades antiplasmódica, antibacteriana, antifúngica e antinociceptiva. Entretanto, existe uma carência de estudos fitoquímicos deste gênero. Para Philodendron, as principais alegações populares são tratamento da mordida de serpentes, analgésica, purgante, hemostática e vermífuga. Estudos fitoquímicos levaram ao isolamento de sitosteol e outras substâncias. Estudos biológicos confirmaram atividades em Trypanossoma cruzi e Trichomonas vaginalis, porém os mecanismos envolvidos na toxicidade ainda não estão completamente elucidados. Em síntese, esta família possui diferentes espécies com potencial terapêutico, sendo urgentes estudos que validem os usos medicinais descritos.Centro de Inovação em Biodiversidade e Saúde - Farmanguinhos/Fiocruz2015-01-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/20910.5935/1808-9569.20130006Revista Fitos; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2013); 79-93Revista Fitos; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2013); 79-93Revista Fitos; v. 8 n. 2 (2013); 79-932446-47751808-9569reponame:Revista Fitosinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/209/pdf_48https://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/209/1138Copyright (c) 2016 Revista Fitos Eletrônicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDolabela, Maria FâniSilva, João Victor da S.do Rosário, Diele Mda Veiga, Andreza do S.
