No full textIn this study, we screened sixty medicinal plant species from the
Brazilian savanna ("cerrado") that could contain useful compounds for
the control of tropical diseases. The plant selection was based on
existing ethnobotanic information and interviews with local healers.
Plant extracts were screened for: (a) molluscicidal activity against
Biomphalaria glabrata , (b) toxicity to brine shrimp (Artemia
salina L.), (c) antifungal activity in the bioautographic
assay with Cladosporium sphaerospermum and (d) antibacterial activity
in the agar diffusion assay against Staphylococcus aureus ,
Escherichia coli , Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Forty-two species afforded extracts that showed some degree of activity
in one or more of these bioassays
