Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the phytochemical, physicochemical and toxicity profile of ethanol crude extract of L. macrophyllain relation to Artemiasalina L. The Phytochemical analysis of the ethanol crude extract of the barks and stem and physicochemical calculation were performed by methods found in the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia. Phytochemical analysis detected saponins, organic acids, reducing sugars, tannins, anthraquinones, and depsidedepsidone. In relation to the physicochemical parameters, it showed pH = 4.64, due to the occurrence of saponins, organic acids and tannins; lipid = 0.55% indicates that the material presents few lipids of low molecular weight; humidity = 12.09% ± 0.12, relates to a small amount of water, indispensable for non occurrence of development of microorganisms or enzymatic degradation. Waste by incineration is within the pharmacognostic standards of 8.30% ± 0.54.
