Resumo: The species Uncaria tomentosa (Willd.) DC. and U. guianensis (Aubl.) Gmel. (Rubiaceae), known as cat’s claw, are large woody vines occurring in the Amazon rain forest and other tropical areas of South and Central America. They have been used medicinally by indigenous peoples for at least two thousand years for several diseases. Their therapeutical properties, the structural complexity and diversity of their components and their mechanisms of action as well their ecologic and economic aspects have interested in the last thirty years physicians, pharmacologists, chemists, botanists, agronomists and economists. This work presents an overview of the main aspects concerned with these species, by congregating the more relevant informations from the several papers found in peerreview scientific journals, patents, books and the ample material at the internet.

DC. e U. guianensis (Aubl.) Gmel. da família botânica Rubiaceae, conhecidas no Brasil como unha-de-gato, são trepadeiras lenhosas de ocorrência na floresta Amazônica e outras áreas tropicais da América do Sul e Central. Elas têm sido usadas na medicina tradicional de diversas tribos indígenas por pelo menos dois mil anos para processos degenerativos e inflamatórios, úlceras gástricas, contracepção entre outros. Suas propriedades terapêuticas, a complexidade e diversidade estrutural de seus componentes e seus mecanismos de ação, assim como seus aspectos ecológicos e econômicos têm despertado nos últimos trinta anos o interesse de médicos, químicos, farmacólogos, botânicos, agrônomos e economistas. Esse trabalho apresenta um panorama dos principais aspectos envolvidos com as espécies, reunindo as informações mais relevantes a partir dos inúmeros artigos científicos publicados em revistas com corpo editorial, patentes, livros e vasto material da internet. Centro de Inovação em Biodiversidade e Saúde - Farmanguinhos/Fiocruz2006-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/4010.32712/2446-4775.2006.40Revista Fitos; Vol. 2 No. 01 (2006); 48-58Revista Fitos; Vol. 2 Núm. 01 (2006); 48-58Revista Fitos; v. 2 n. 01 (2006); 48-582446-47751808-9569reponame:Revista Fitosinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/40/pdf_32https://revistafitos.far.fiocruz.br/index.php/revista-fitos/article/view/40/1282Copyright (c) 2006 Revista Fitos Eletrônicahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessValente, L.
