BACKGROUND
Vismia cauliflora A.C.Sm. [Hypericaceae (Clusiaceae)] is an Amazonian plant traditionally used by indigenous population to treat dermatosis and inflammatory processes of the skin. Previous research on V. cauliflora extracts suggests its potential to neutralize cellular oxidative damages
Vismia cauliflora, a scientific unexploited plant from Amazonian forest, used by Amerindians to treat dermatosis and inflammatory processes in the skin may be considered an interesting source of bioactive compounds. Thus, we evaluated for the first time in literature, the scavenging capacity of five
Vismia cauliflora is an Amazonian plant traditionally used to treat dermatosis and inflammatory processes of the skin by indigenous population. Our research group showed that stem bark and flower extracts of V. cauliflora are efficient in vitro scavengers of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. In
