Piperaceae, a Latin name derived from Greek, which in turn originates from the Arabic word babary-black pepper, is considered one of the largest families of basal dicots, found in tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. The species that belong to this family have a primarily pantropical distribution, predominantly herbaceous members, occurring in tropical Africa, tropical Asia, Central America and the Amazon region. The Piperaceae family includes ive genera: Piper, Peperomia, Manekia, Zippelia and Verhuellia.Brazil has about 500 species distributed in the Piper, Peperomia and Manekia genera. The Piper genus, the largest of the Piperaceae family, has about 4000 species. Within the Piper genus, about 260-450 species can be found in Brazil. Piper species have diverse biological activities and are used in pharmacopeia throughout the world. They are also used in folk medicine for treatment of many diseases in several countries including Brazil, China, India, Jamaica and Mexico. Pharmacological studies of Piper species point toward the vast potential of these plants to treat various diseases. Many of these species are biologically active and have shown antitumor, antimicrobial, antioxidant, insecticidal, antiinlammatory, antinociceptive, enzyme inhibitor, antiparasitic, antiplatelet, piscicide, allelopathic, antiophidic, anxiolytic, antidepressant, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, amebicide and diuretic possibilities.

“…Brazil has also a long tradition in the study of its biodiversity, although during three centuries, from the first colonizers in 1500 to the arrival in Brazil of the Portuguese Royal family in 1808, description, except for the brief period during Dutch and French occupation of small parts of the territory, was almost limited to the Portuguese colonizers themselves. 58,62,63,[192][193][194][195][196][197][198] The second reason is its huge biodiversity and the third is the technical and scientific capacity of the research community, I have discussed the first two elsewhere. 58 …”

Living organisms (bacteria, fungi, lichens, algae, worms, mushrooms, higher plants, and aquatic and terrestrial animals) produce a plethora of chemical compounds, the natural products , that lie at the heart of an ecological interaction, acting as molecular messengers in defense, attack, sexual attraction, territorial and trail marking, in pollination, as venoms, etc. Eventually, human beings make use of them for their own purposes as food additives, flavoring, cosmetics, fragrances, hallucinogens, in pest control, and as therapeutic agents. The present review compares the participation of Brazilian scientists in the chemistry and pharmacology of natural products with that of other scientists from 69 countries in five continents in 36 selected journals. It also shows the analogy between the Human Development Index (HDI) and the rank of the countries with the number published articles. The search was performed in the Web of Knowledge by cross-selecting the names of each journal with that of each country for the period 1945-2013.Keywords: Brazil; chemistry of natural products; pharmacology of natural products; peer journals. ResumoOrganismos vivos (bactérias, fungos, liquens, vermes, cogumelos, vegetais superiores, e animais aquáticos e terrestres) produzem uma pletora de substâncias químicas, os produtos naturais , que estão no coração de uma interação ecológica, atuando como mensageiros moleculares na defesa, ataque, atração sexual, marcação territorial e de trilha, na polinização, como venenos, etc. Eventualmente, os seres humanos fazem uso deles para o seu próprio benefício como aditivos, flavorizantes, cosméticos, fragrância, alucinógenos, no controle de pestes, e como agentes terapêuticos. Esta revisão compara a participação de cientistas brasileiros na química e farmacologia de produtos naturais com a de cientistas de 69 países de cinco continentes em 36 periódicos selecionados. Ela também mostra a analogia entre o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) e a classificação dos países com o número de artigos publicados.

“…Informações sobre os benefícios e usos dessas plantas foram compiladas por naturalistas europeus no século 19, principalmente pelo botânico francês Auguste de Saint-Hilare (1779-1853) (BRANDÃO et al, 2012). Essas plantas, com potencial medicinal sempre foram utilizadas pelos povos indígenas, no entanto, a partir da colonização do Brasil essas informações começaram a ser difundidas no "meio civilizado" (FERREIRA JÚNIOR et al, 2012).…”

“…O grande potencial econômico é devido ao valor farmacológico presente nas raízes (FERREIRA JÚNIOR et al, 2012), parte da planta onde se concentram altos teores de emetina e cefalina (BRANDÃO et al, 2012), o quê confere à planta um poder emético e amebicida (OTONI et al, 2015).…”
