Resumo: | The genus Croton, belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family, is a plant with shrubby characteristics, with the ability to regrow in times of rain, develops wildly, especially in deforestation areas, being reported mainly in the Caatinga and Forest region. One of the main characteristics of this genus is that several species are rich in chemical constituents of importance for medicine. In this way, this review of the literature, has an objective that findings regarding the biological activities and chemical composition of Croton species. This study is a literature review, carried out in the following databases: SciELO, BVS, MEDLINE, LILACS, PubMed and ScienceDirect, with a time frame between 1997 and 2020. The articles studied have shown different activities for Croton species, such as anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antifungal, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antinociceptive and anti-tumor. Regarding toxicological aspects, the findings suggest caution in the use of Croton species, as some are toxic. While, regarding the chemical composition, in most species the presence of several secondary metabolites is observed, such as alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds. Therefore, the results described in this article suggest that the therapeutic application of Croton species is supported by the literature, however we point out that caution is required in the use of Croton species, some present due to toxicity. |

Una de las principales características de este género es que varias especies son ricas en componentes químicos de importancia para la medicina. De esta forma, esta revisión de la literatura, tiene como objetivo que los hallazgos sobre las actividades biológicas y la composición química de las especies de Croton. El presente estudio es una revisión de la literatura, realizada en las siguientes bases de datos: SciELO, BVS, MEDLINE, LILACS, PubMed y ScienceDirect, con un período de tiempo comprendido entre 1997 y 2020. inflamatorio, antihipertensivo, antifúngico, antimicrobiano, antidiabético, antioxidante, antinociceptivo y antiinflamatorio. En cuanto a los aspectos toxicológicos, los hallazgos sugieren precaución en el uso de especies de Croton, ya que algunas son tóxicas. Mientras que, en cuanto a la composición química, en la mayoría de especies se observa la presencia de varios metabolitos secundarios, como alcaloides, terpenoides, flavonoides y otros compuestos fenólicos. Por lo tanto, los resultados descritos en este artículo sugieren que la aplicación terapéutica de las especies de Croton está respaldada por la literatura, sin embargo, señalamos que se requiere precaución en el uso de las especies de Croton, algunas presentes por toxicidad.O gênero Croton, pertencente à família Euphorbiaceae, é uma planta com características arbustivas, com capacidade de rebrota em épocas de chuva, desenvolve-se de forma selvagem, principalmente em áreas de desmatamento, sendo relatada principalmente na Caatinga e na região da Floresta. Uma das principais características desse gênero é que várias espécies são ricas em constituintes químicos de importância para a medicina. Desta forma, esta revisão da literatura, tem como objetivo obter descobertas a respeito das atividades biológicas e composição química das espécies de Croton. Este estudo é uma revisão da literatura, realizada nas seguintes bases de dados: SciELO, BVS, MEDLINE, LILACS, PubMed e ScienceDirect, com período compreendido entre 1997 e 2020. Os artigos estudados mostraram diferentes atividades para espécies de Croton, como anti-inflamatório, anti-hipertensivo, antifúngico, antimicrobiano, antidiabético, antioxidante, antinociceptivo e antitumoral. Em relação aos aspectos toxicológicos, os achados sugerem cautela no uso de espécies de Croton, pois algumas são tóxicas. Já quanto à composição química, na maioria das espécies observa-se a presença de diversos metabólitos secundários, como alcaloides, terpenóides, flavonoides e outros compostos fenólicos. Portanto, os resultados descritos neste artigo sugerem que a aplicação terapêutica de espécies de Croton é suportada pela literatura, porém ressaltamos que é necessário cautela no uso de espécies de Croton, devido à toxicidade.Research, Society and Development2022-02-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2530610.33448/rsd-v11i2.25306Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 2; e57311225306Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 2; e57311225306Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 2; e573112253062525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/25306/22879Copyright (c) 2022 José Israel Guerra Júnior; Magda Rhayanny Assunção Ferreira; Alisson Macário de Oliveira; Luiz Alberto Lira Soareshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGuerra Júnior, José IsraelFerreira, Magda Rhayanny Assunção Oliveira, Alisson Macário de Soares, Luiz Alberto Lira 2022-02-07T01:42:50Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/25306Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:43:37.275129Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
