The Scrophulariaceae family is composed of some 25 genera and more than 1200 species. The genus Buddleja, widely distributed around the world, belongs to this family presently. Buddleja thyrsoides Lam. species, object of study in this work, is distributed in the southern of Brazil region and is popularly known by barbasco and cambarazinho-do-campo. Flowers and leaves decoction are used to treat bronchitis, asthma and cough. The first step of this was the morphoanatomical study of B. thyrsoides leaves aiming to established the identity of the species. The leaves present lanceolate-linear shape, straight adaxial face, serrata to subentire margin and little revolute close to the basis. The epidermis is uniseriate, with the epidermal cells of the adaxial face bigger than those of abaxial face, stomata and trichomes in abaxial face. The mesophyll is heterogeneous, bifacial and presents brachiblasts and crystals in druse form. The vascular system is of the open collateral type. Phytochemical screening showed alkaloids, flavonoids, cumarins, organic acids, antocyanic heterosides, saponins and volatile oils. The antioxidant activities, total phenolic contents, antimicrobial activities, antiplatelet action, acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibition and toxicity of the crude extract (70% ethanol macerate) and dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and butanolic fractions of Buddleja thyrsoides were investigated. Total phenolic contents varied from 214.07 to 438.4 mg / g. The crude extract and fractions in order of increasing polarity exhibited scavenging activity with IC50 equal to 186.04, 137.70, 146.89, 165.71 μg/mL. A positive correlation between antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents was observed, where the ethyl acetate and dichloromethane fractions had the best results in both tests. The butanolic fraction was effective against S. cerevisiae (62.5 μg / mL for MIC and MFC) in the assessment of antimicrobial activity. The dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions were effective against S. aureus (250 and 500 μ g / mL for CIM and CBM), respectively. The crude extract and the fractions of B. thyrsoides did not shown toxicity against Artemia salina. The fractions (in order of increasing polarity) and crude extract showed antiplatelet action (42.35, 40.68, 43.57 and 41.52% respectively), whereas the AAS afforded 58.36% of inhibition. The crude extract inhibited in 22.77% the acetylcholinesterase enzyme after 24 hours. The major components of the essential oil were germacreno D (27.16%), 1,10-di - epi-cubenol (13.37%) and α - Cadinol (12.95%), biciclogermacreno (9.00%), δ - cadineno (8.59%) and cariofileno E (5.26%).
