“…These constitute the most significant class of natural products used across diverse sectors like the food industry, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and lately, they have also been exploited in the development of biofuel products. The presence of these critical compounds makes plants a valuable source for the discovery of novel products with medicinal value and drug development (Chaves-Bedoya and Ortiz-Rojas, 2022).…”

Anthracnose, caused by the pathogenic fungi Colletotrichum spp., poses a significant threat to table tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) cultivation. This study delves into the potential of plant extracts from Cnidoscolus urens L. as an alternative biocontrol strategy to combat this disease. Rich in secondary metabolites like terpenes, which are instrumental in plant defense, these extracts also comprise esters and fatty acids. Although the latter are not classified as secondary metabolites, they contribute significantly to the plant's biochemical makeup. Our objective was to gauge the in vitro inhibitory efficacy of ethanolic extracts derived from the leaves and stems of Cnidoscolus urens L. against Colletotrichum spp. To achieve this, an agar dilution method with varying extract concentrations was employed. The results showed that concentrations ranging from treatment 3 to treatment 8 effectively inhibited fungal mycelial growth. Interestingly, the extracts' origin, whether from leaves or stems, did not show any significant differential impact on their inhibitory activity. These insights emphasize the consistent effect of Cnidoscolus urens L. extracts in stalling Colletotrichum spp. growth, underscoring their potential as biological antifungal agents in agriculture. Given the pronounced in vitro effectiveness of both leaf and stem extracts, they beckon further exploration as part of sustainable agricultural strategies to combat prominent diseases like anthracnose.

A análise fitoquímica desempenha um papel fundamental na compreensão dos componentes químicos e do potencial farmacológico em espécies vegetais. Dentre as espécies do gênero Cnidoscolus, destaca-se a Cnidoscolus urens (L.) Arthur com potencial terapêutico, conhecida popularmente como Cansanção, Urtiga-Branca e Queimadeira. Em virtude disso, foi caracterizado o perfil fitoquímico e avaliaram-se os teores de compostos fenólicos e flavonoides em extratos de suas folhas, caule e raiz. Foram identificados fenóis das classes catequina e flavonoides das subclasses flavonóis, flavanonas, flavanonóis e xantonas. Além de leucoantocianidinas, antocianinas, antocianidinas, esteroides, saponinas, cumarinas e alcaloides em seus extratos. Extratos secos da folha, caule e raiz apresentaram teores fenólicos com valores de 21,45 ± 1,63 EAG/g, 20,69 ± 1,59 EAG/g e 62,04 ± 1,27 mg EAG/g, respectivamente. Para o teor de flavonoides totais dos extratos secos da folha, raiz e caule, obteve-se valores de 20,49 ± 0,36 mg EQuer/g, 18,81 ± 0,13 mg EQuer/g e 6,20 ± 0,10 mg EQuer/g. Assim, existe consistência com as recomendações etnobotânicas do uso da Cnidoscolus urens para o tratamento de diversas doenças.
