Therapeutic Potential of Fridericia platyphylla (Cham.) L.G. Lohmann: An Integrative Review of the Effects of Crude Extracts and Isolated Phytochemicals in Different Experimental Models
Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Fridericia platyphylla (Cham.) L.G. Lohmann is a species endemic to the Brazilian Cerrado, commonly known as “cervejinha do campo,” “cipó-una,” or ‘tintureiro,” traditionally used to treat kidney stones and joint pain. This species has garnered scientific interest due to its potential pharmacological properties. This review evaluated the pharmacological effects of crude extracts and isolated compounds from F. platyphylla, as well as its ethnopharmacological relevance. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar for studies published between October 2014 and December 2024, using the descriptors “ F. platyphylla ” and “ A. brachypoda ” combined with terms related to in vivo, in vitro, and ethnopharmacological research. Of 896 records, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria. The included studies conducted comprehensive isolation and structural elucidation of the bioactive compounds, confirming their chemical identities and supporting their pharmacological relevance through robust analytical and spectroscopic validation. Different extracts and isolated compounds from the roots, leaves, and flowers of F. platyphylla have antiulcerogenic, antitumor, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal action. Brachydins demonstrated cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cells and exhibited biological potential against intracellular amastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi . Luteolin reduced…
