Diseases caused by viruses are a global threat, resulting in serious medical and social problems for humanity. They are the main contributors to many minor and major outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics worldwide. Over the years, medicinal plants have been used as a complementary treatment in a range of diseases. In this sense, this review addresses promising antiviral plants from Marajó island, a part of the Amazon region, which is known to present a very wide biodiversity of medicinal plants. The present review has been limited to articles and abstracts available in Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scielo, PubMed, and Google Scholar, as well as the patent offices in Brazil (INPI), United States (USPTO), Europe (EPO) and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). As a result, some plants from Marajó island were reported to have actions against HIV-1,2, HSV-1,2, Sars-CoV-2, HAV and HBV, Poliovirus, and influenza. Our major conclusion is that plants of the Marajó region show promising perspectives regarding pharmacological potential in combatting future viral diseases.

“…The therapeutic efficacy derived from the active principles of plants has contributed to the search for new molecules to treat some diseases (Chifa, 2010;Silva Azevedo et al, 2020). Around 250000 plant species represent the world's flora, 1% of which have been reported for traditional use (Chifa 2010;del Campo 2013).…”

The Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae families in Colombia are distributed along the northern coast of Colombia, have been traditionally used by native communities for different purposes, and represent a promising source of molecules with therapeutic activity, whose effectiveness has been verified internationally through biological assays. A systematic review of the existing literature was carried out and data on taxonomy, world distribution, phytoconstituents, ethnopharmacology and pharmacological activity of the Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae families were collected using several databases such as PubMed, CAplus, Medline, Latin America & Iberia database, Science Direct, Web of Science and Google Scholar, Abstracts. The pharmacological activities reported were antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive and antileishmanial. In conclusion, the Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae families are important producers of active metabolites with high impact on public health, which strengthens the Colombian Caribbean as a center for the generation of molecules for the pharmaceutical field.

The species Alpinia zerumbet popularly known as colony is quite abundant in northeastern Brazil and is widely used for medicinal purposes, due to its hypotensive and cardiovascular effect, without, however, due scientific evidence. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic and antiproliferative effect of A. zerumbet essential oil, in test systems with Allium cepa. The chemical composition of the essential oil was determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antiproliferative and genotoxic effect was tested in seven treatments with three replications, and five concentrations of essential oil (0.01 to 1.0%) using onion bulbs. Two roots were analyzed from each bulb, with a count of 500 cells per slide/root, totaling 3,000 cells per treatment. The results showed that the main chemical constituents of the essential oil were 1.8 cineole (60.50%) and terpinen-4-ol (23.80%). In the assays with A. cepa, both the mitotic index (MI) and the cellular alteration percentages differed significantly in relation to the control, through the appearance of chromosomal and nuclear aberrations at the concentrations tested, revealing possible harmful effects to human health.
