METHODS:Fifty four rats were used, distributed into three groups randomly: aroeira, babassu and control, which were divided into three subgroups (six animals) according to the time of the deaths (7, 14, 21 days). All underwent the same surgical procedure, cecotomy and cecorrhaphy. The animals in group aroeira and babassu received daily dose of 100 mg/kg of hydroalcoholic extract and 50 mg/kg of aquous extract respectively, by gavage. The control group received only saline solution. The parameters evaluated were: macroscopic changes, ,resistance test to air insufflations and histological changes. RESULTS:All animals showed good healing without infection. All groups presented adhesions between cecum and neighboring organs.The resistance test insufflating of atmospheric air showed progressive increase of pressure according to the days in the aroeira group, and decrease in babassu group, without significant difference. Microscopy showed significant difference in the polymorphonuclear, hyperemia, angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation and collagen histological variables in the 14 th day. CONCLUSION:Hydroalcoholic extract of aroeira and the aqueous extract of babassu favored the healing process in cecorrhaphy in rats.

“…The toxicity of medicinal plants and the resultant medicines from them may seem to be a little importance compared to that of conventional treatments. However, this is not the case for public health; the toxicity of medicinal plants is a serious problem 2 . The unfavorable effects of plant medicines, of individual products or synergistic action i.e.…”

Phyllanthus tenellus is a dominant plant in herbaceous family to appear frequently in various humid environments in Warangal region in Telangana. This plant is used to treat different disease like urolithiasis, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes and hepatitis B. The present study developed phylogenetic relationship with secondary metabolites and other related compounds of 2 other species of Phyllanthus belongs to family Euphorbiaceae. This investigation was to establish the phylogenetic relationship with secondary metabolites and other related compounds of Phyllanthus tenellus of Euphorbiaceae family. Among them, Phyllanthus tenellus shows unique relationship with secondary metabolites, protein related compound.

PURPOSE:To evaluate the effects of copaiba oil administered by different routes on survival of mices subjected to cecal ligation and puncture. METHODS:Thirty two mice were distributed into four study groups (N=8): Sham group: normal standard animals; Control group: submitted a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP); Gavage group: submitted a CLP, and treat with copaiba oil by gavage; and Subcutaneous group: submitted a CLP, and treat with copaiba oil by subcutaneous injection. After the death of the histological analysis were performed.The Kaplan-Meier curves of surviving time were realized. RESULTS:All animals that received copaiba, regardless of the route used, survived longer when compared to the control group (p<0.0001), whereas the survival time ranged from 20 hours for the control group up to 32 hours for the animals of gavage group and 52 for subcutaneous group. The animals that received gavage copaiba lived about and about 20 hours unless the subcutaneous group (p=0.0042). There was no statistical difference when compared the intensity of inflammatory response (p>0.05) CONCLUSION: Prophylactic subcutaneous administration of copaiba in mice subjected to severe sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture, resulted in a survival time higher than non-use or use of this oil by gavage.
