“…The most prominent one is the Salvia genus, in which three species exhibit a strong association with asthma (i.e., reported in more than 15 publications): Salvia officinalis , Salvia rosmarinus , and Salvia miltiorrhiza . Recent studies have reported bioactivity for extracts and phytochemicals present in these species, such as Salvianolic acids, 35 rosmarinic acid, 36 borneol, 37 and carnosol 38 ( Figure S7 A). Similarly, we also investigated the hotspots of medicinal plants associated with breast cancer ( Figure S7 B).…”

“…Além disso, "Anacauita", "Chirca", "Pata-de-vaca" e "Pitangueira" estão em destaque dentre as palavras mais referenciadas com a prática de uso pelos ouvintes da rádio Ecos do Pampa. Hao e Xiao (2020), em estudos sobre filogenia de plantas medicinais, destacam que existe uma relação íntima entre a fitoquímica de fármacos e os saberes da medicina tradicional, corroborando os achados de Bezerra et al (2022) sobre as evidências do etnoconhecimento no uso de plantas nativas para o tratamento de asma, em vários locais do Brasil.…”

O Bioma Pampa é um mosaico de paisagens campestres e florestais. Nas últimas duas décadas a biodiversidade intrínseca a esses ecossistemas vem sofrendo forte ameaça devido à pressão no uso da terra por atividades agropecuárias. Uma alternativa para essa realidade é sensibilizar a sociedade para valorização das espécies vegetais locais. Assim, o objetivo do trabalho foi estimular a conexão entre os conhecimentos científico e popular de espécies nativas do Pampa a partir de processos educomunicativos. O meio de comunicação utilizado para este estímulo foi um programa de rádio denominado “Ecos do Pampa”. Os resultados demonstram que os saberes populares têm maior ênfase nas informações sobre medicina e culinária e os conhecimentos científicos focam mais em dados ecológicos. Diante do diálogo, destaca-se a necessidade de fortalecimento de processos educomunicativos para fomentar o enlace entre os saberes.

“…Coumarins (2 H -chromen-2-one ring) with the molecular formula C 9 H 6 O 2 are an important group of natural compounds and are used as additives in both cosmetics and foods [ 333 ], and they constituent a notable class of heterocyclic compounds with the characteristic benzo-α-pyrone moiety in its structure [ 334 ]. Coumarin has been reported to have antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, and anti-Alzheimer’s disease (AD) activities [ 335 , 336 ].…”

Phenolic compounds and flavonoids are potential substitutes for bioactive agents in pharmaceutical and medicinal sections to promote human health and prevent and cure different diseases. The most common flavonoids found in nature are anthocyanins, flavones, flavanones, flavonols, flavanonols, isoflavones, and other sub-classes. The impacts of plant flavonoids and other phenolics on human health promoting and diseases curing and preventing are antioxidant effects, antibacterial impacts, cardioprotective effects, anticancer impacts, immune system promoting, anti-inflammatory effects, and skin protective effects from UV radiation. This work aims to provide an overview of phenolic compounds and flavonoids as potential and important sources of pharmaceutical and medical application according to recently published studies, as well as some interesting directions for future research. The keyword searches for flavonoids, phenolics, isoflavones, tannins, coumarins, lignans, quinones, xanthones, curcuminoids, stilbenes, cucurmin, phenylethanoids, and secoiridoids medicinal plant were performed by using Web of Science, Scopus, Google scholar, and PubMed. Phenolic acids contain a carboxylic acid group in addition to the basic phenolic structure and are mainly divided into hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids. Hydroxybenzoic acids are based on a C6-C1 skeleton and are often found bound to small organic acids, glycosyl moieties, or cell structural components. Common hydroxybenzoic acids include gallic, syringic, protocatechuic, p-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic, gentistic, and salicylic acids. Hydroxycinnamic acids are based on a C6-C3 skeleton and are also often bound to other molecules such as quinic acid and glucose. The main hydroxycinnamic acids are caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acids.
