“…Of all botanicals, this family is one of the most important to humans. Mainly because of the ease with which some seeds can be grown on its high-quality wood and plantations [4] . Furthermore, because to its veritably complex chemical structures and natural exertion, the Meliaceae family piques the curiosity of researchers interested in bioproducts.…”

Studies conducted on the chemical composition of the genus Trichilia have isolated and identified 334 different compounds such as monoterpenes, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes, triterpenes, limonoids, steroids, coumarins, lignans, flavonoids, amino acid, phenolic acids, and lactones. This genus is used in traditional medicine for the manufacture of antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral and antimalarial drugs. Indeed, our research with numerous Trichilia species has revealed that these plants exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial, anticholinesterase, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-anaphylactic properties against pathogens of major clinical value. The properties of analgesia, liver protection, and immunomodulation are also being studied. This study summarizes the main therapeutic uses of Genus Trichilia of species mentioned in the article and encourages future research into their usage in the treatment of various ailments as antimicrobial and anticancer.

“…Plants of the Meliaceae family are chemically characterized by the presence of tetranortriterpenoids known as limonoids or meliacins (Silva, Gottlieb & Dreyer, 1984). Of all plant families, Meliaceae is among the most useful for man, mainly for its high-quality woods and the ease with which some species can be grown in plantations (Pennington & Styles, 1975). Besides, the Meliaceae family attracts great interest among phytochemicals interested in bioproducts due to its very complex chemical structures and biological activity.…”

The genus Trichilia (Meliaceae family) has been attracting interest among Brazilian Flora, due to the biological activities of its secondary metabolites. This genus has species distributed throughout tropical America, recognized for its significant economic importance and high commercial value. Its composition consists mainly of terpenoids (triterpenes, sesquiterpenes, limonoids and steroids) and polyphenols (flavonoids and tannins). In folk medicine this genus is used in preparations such as antimicrobial, antimalarial, antiviral and antioxidant. Studies carried out with several species of the genus Trichilia show that these plants have antioxidant, anticholinesterase, antimicrobial activities against pathogens of great clinical importance, neuroprotective, anti-anaphylactic and anti-inflammatory. In addition, analgesic, antineoplasic, hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory activities have also been investigated and proven in the literature. Based on the great biotechnological potential of the genus Trichilia, from the few studies on its applications in human health and in view of the importance of searching for natural substances that have effective therapeutic activities, this review highlights the main therapeutic applications of species of this genus found in the literature, and stimulate further studies on the use of these plants in the treatment of various diseases. For this, a survey on the topic was carried out in the main sources of scientific research in the period from 2005 to 2020, leading us to conclude that this genus can be a potent ally in the search for new phytotherapic drugs.
