【 摘 要 】

A total of 23 extracts derived from 14 medicinal plant species from Brazilian savanna (“Cerrado”), selected by ethnopharmacological information, was screened for leishmanicidal, antibacterial, antifungal and radical scavenging activities and toxicity to brine shrimp(Artemia salina) larvae. Crude extracts from 9 of these species showed potent activity in one or more of these assays.
