摘要

Guapira graciliflora and Pseudobombax marginatum?are?two species used in the treatment of various diseases in traditional medicine of the Brazilian semiarid region, but no studies assessing their phytochemical and pharmacological properties have been reported. This study aimed to evaluate seasonal variation in the production of secondary metabolites and antimicrobial activity of these plants. The broth microdilution test was used against pathogenic microorganisms to evaluate the antimicrobial activity. The content of total polyphenols and flavonoids was determined by?ultra violet (UV)?spectrophotometry using gallic acid and quercetin as standards respectively. The concentration of polyphenols was higher in winter for?P. marginatumand in summer for?G. graciliflora, while for flavonoids the opposite occurred. Regarding the antimicrobial activity, only?P. marginatum?showed inhibition against seven tested strains and antibiosis against four, with variation in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum microbicide concentration (MMC) between the two seasons.?G. graciliflora?showed no activity. The results show that the chemical composition of the extracts from?P. marginatum?and?G. gracilliflora?exhibits seasonal variation, with the first plant showing moderate antimicrobial activity.
