Resumo
The aim of this work was the physico-chemical characterization of Eugenia dysenterica
DC. leaves powder, a Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) endemic specie that its fruits and leaves are used
in the regional folk medicine. The herbal drug was analyzed by several physical (swelling index,
extractive substances by alcohol and moisture content) and chemical techniques (phytochemical
screening, total ashes content, acid insoluble ashes content, total polyphenol contents, total tannin
contents and total flavonoid contents). It was observed highly contents of phenolic compounds,
flavonoids and tannins, beyond to the presence of saponins and terpenes, suggesting an important
phytotherapeutical potential to be investigated. As it wasn’t found in the literature specifications for
all achieved assays, the found data of this work provides future studies and contribute for the obtainment of relevant information about this specie raw material standardization and quality
control, emphasizing its importance and the necessity of the Cerrado Biome conservation.
