Abstract:The species Lecythis pisonis (L. pisonis) popularly known as "sapucaia" or "cumbuca de macaco", is a plant belonging to the family Lecythidaceae. This family has interesting pharmacological activities that have driven researchers to explore their species. Observing the biological potential of the species L. pisonis, this work aimed to trace the chemical profile of its leaves and to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant (DPPH and ABTS •+) and cytotoxic activity against Artemia salina Leach larvae. Qualitative tests… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
