| Description | Species of the Byrsonima genus are widely distributed around the neotropical zone, being frequently used in folk medicine to treat gastrointestinal, respiratory and skin diseases. This article briefly reviews the ethnopharmacology, pharmacology and phytochemistry of the Byrsonima genus. Eighty three compounds isolated from different species are reported, most of them being flavonoids or triperpenes. The pharmacological studies carried out with the extracts from these plants emphasize on the antimicrobial activity, however other activities have also been investigated leading to promising results. The data presented in this work strongly supports the view that plants of Byrsonima genus have potential therapeutic action |
