Chemical composition, pharmacology and ethnobotanics of medicinal plants used empirically in Rondônia state, Western Amazonia ; Composição química, farmacologia e etnobotânica de plantas medicinais utilizadas empiricamente no estado de Rondônia, Amazônia Ocidental

Medicinal plants belong to popular culture, but in recent decades the interest in Phytotherapy has increased significantly, especially among users, researchers and health services. Floristic surveys of tree and shrub species favor knowledge of biodiversity and the correct use of plant resources. In view of the presented scenario, the aim of the study is, through the literature, to describe the species of plants, quina (Cinchona officinalis), sucuuba (Himatanthus sucuuba), pau-d’alho (Gallesia integrifolia), tamboril (Enterolobium contortisiliquum) e pau-ferro (Libidibia ferrea). Which are species considered relevant among Amazonian medicinal plants. Species inventories form the basis of any study committed to the correct assessment of the value of an ecosystem, its conservation and management. In addition, these surveys of medicinal plant species favor the correct use of the plant resource, exercising not only a food function, but also medicinal and ornamental, and consequently social and environmental. The studies must be in-depth regarding the chemical, pharmacological and toxicological characterization to obtain natural, safe, stable and efficient drugs, which may serve as models for the development of appropriate synthetic molecules for the production of specific antimicrobials. ; As plantas medicinais pertencem a cultura popular, mas nas últimas décadas o interesse pela fitoterapia teve um aumento bastante significativo, sobretudo entre usuários, pesquisadores e serviços de saúde.
