Resumo
In this paper, the chemical study of Hortia superba and antimycobacterial potential of Hortia species were investigated. Crude
extracts and limonoids, alkaloids, dihydrocinnamic acid derivatives and coumarins isolated from Hortia superba, Hortia oreadica and
Hortia brasiliana were evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium avium.
The results obtained demonstrated an inhibitory effect of the dichloromethane extract of leaves of H. oreadica (MIC 31.25 μg mL‑1),
indolequinazoline (15.62 μg mL-1) and furoquinoline (31.25 μg mL-1) alkaloids, and dihydrocinnamic acid derivatives (62.50 μg mL‑1),
on the growth of M. tuberculosis. These results are promising in relation to the search for biologically active natural products and
could be useful in the development of effective new drugs against mycobacteria.
