Abstract

O objetivo do presente trabalho é a avaliação da atividade antioxidante em plantas do gênero Croton, além de verificar qual método é o mais empregado. O estudo é uma revisão bibliográfica no banco de dados do SciFinder, no qual ocorreu no período de setembro a novembro de 2019. 37 artigos foram escolhidos para o desenvolvimento do trabalho. Para selecioná-los fora necessário filtrar os artigos que continham palavras-chave “croton” e “antioxidante” combinadas nos idiomas português e inglês e data de publicação entre janeiro de 1959 e agosto de 2019. Muitas plantas do gênero Croton apresentam alta atividade antioxidante para redução e prevenção de danos causados pelos radicais livres, dentre eles podemos citar o extrato etanólico de Croton cordiifolius que, quando comparada com as plantas abordadas nesse estudo, apresentou o maior valor de IC50, sendo superior a 1000 mg/mL. Já o menor valor encontrado foi para o extrato de Croton hypoleucus com um IC50 de 0,63 mg/mL, sendo este último o melhor valor de atividade antioxidante encontrado nesse estudo. A atividade antioxidante em plantas do gênero Croton parece ser promissora, uma vez que todos os vegetais avaliados apresentaram atividade mesmo em alta quantidade. O método mais utilizado para determinação da atividade antioxidante foi o método IC50.
