“…In phytochemical screening of P. mammosa it was determined that both extracts (aqueous and hydroalcoholic at 25%) contained saponins, in similar intensities, which could justify the same effect in this study. Coincidentally a similar result was obtained in invertebrate organisms by Carriço et al that studied the effect of P. mammosa on immature stages of Chrysomya putoria , wherein the groups treated with the aqueous extract of leaves resulted in an increase in body weight of maggots [8]. …”

The common use of Pouteria mammosa (L.) Cronquist, “Mamey or Zapote,” in food and ethnobotanic medicine shows its low or absent toxicity as fruit extracts prepared from seeds. However, it is essential to conduct security trials to scientifically support their use in drug therapy. This study evaluated the aqueous and hydroalcoholic extract (25%) Acute Oral Toxicity, obtained from the seeds of P. mammosa, in Sprague Dawley rats and dermal and eye irritability in New Zealand rabbits. The 404 and 405 acute dermal and eye irritation/corrosion guidelines were used, as well as the 423 Acute Oral Toxicity guideline, Acute Toxic Class Method of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The aqueous extract was located in the following category: not classified as toxic (CTA 5), while hydroalcoholic extract at 25% was classified as dangerous (CTA 4). Both extracts can be used without side reaction that irritates the skin which permitted classification as potentially not irritant. P. mammosa in the two extracts caused mild and reversible eye irritation, and it was classified as slightly irritating.

“…These insects are recognized as a major cause of loss in stored grains throughout the world. Recently the activity of Pouteria mammosa (L.) Cronquist aqueous extract in the postembryonic development of the blowfly Chrysomya putoria (Calliphoridae) was evaluated [8]. The results revealed a 47.5% decrease in the viability of the flies.…”

“…This plant is also known as “mamay” in native Central America, Mexico and in many parts of the world; the plant was majorly grown for its fruits, which are enriched with abundant of nutrients [4] . The leaf extract was found to be effective biologically against blowfly [5] . However, the parts of the plants were not deeply studied for its biological activity.…”

Natural products are vital in drug discovery and the search for anticancer agents has been significant importance to the researchers for a long time. In the present study, aqueous leaf extract of Pouteria sapota (P.sapota) was evaluated for its cytotoxic activity. The leaf extract was preliminarily screened for antioxidant activity using DPPH method for Radical Scavenging Activity, Hydrogen Peroxide Scavenging Activity and Reducing Power Activity. Further, the aqueous leaf extract was screened for cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) in vitro. The results of the study showed that aqueous extract of the P.sapota leaf was rich in phytochemicals, antioxidant activity and showed a significant anti-cancer activity against tested MCF-7 cell lines. The present study was designed to evaluate the anticancer potential of P.sapota leaf. The antioxidants present in P.sapota have strong cytotoxic activity suggests that it can be considered for anti-cancer treatment.

“…The phenolic compounds were also described for P. campechiana Kunth and tannins, for fruits of P. gardneriana (ROCHA et al, 2011), for exemple. Carriço et al (2014), upon investigating the aqueous extract of the Pouteria sapota (Jacq.) leaves H. E. Moore & Stearn, found flavonoids, coumarins, glycosides cyanogenic and reducing sugars, as the classes of more abundant secondary metabolites, demonstrating the diversity of substances present in species of the genus Pouteria.…”

Among the fungus that attack the common bean crop there is Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli (Fsp), causing major losses. Taking into account its importance, the objective of this work was to determine the secondary metabolites class and the potential fungicide of the Pouteria ramiflora leaves on Fsp. The ethanol extract was dissolved in methanol/water and partitioned successively with hexane, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol, subjected to the chemical profile. The solutions were prepared in concentrations of 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µg/mL and poured into Petri dishes; then, 0.5 cm disc of diameter with spores and mycelia of Fsp was deposited. These dishes were incubated in temperature of 25 ± 2 °C and the evaluations, performed by measuring the colonies diameter (five replications) until reaching the dishes border (three days) with a completely randomized experimental design. Through the Mycelial Index Growth Speed (MIGS) data, analysis of variance was performed and when significant, applied the regression analysis. The results indicated that all fractions and the extract have the phenolic compounds and/or derivatives as one of the major constituents except the hydroethanolic fraction. The extract and its fractions decreased the Fsp MIGS, in the same proportion in which concentrations were increased; the greatest reduction occurred in the butanol fraction at the concentration of 2400 µg/mL, with growth close to zero, indicating its potential use for the Fsp control, probably due to the presence of anthraquinones.
