Avaliação da composição mineral do chá da folha senescente de Montrichardia linifera (arruda) schott (araceae) por espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama (FAAS)
(2011) AMARANTE, Cristine Bastos do; SILVA, Jesiel Cardoso Furtado da; MÜLLER, Regina Celi Sarkis; MÜLLER, Adolfo Henrique
Levels of Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn were determinated by FAAS in the tea and dry matter from senescent leaf from Montrichardia linifera, plant used in folk medicine Amazon. The content of these metals that are transferred of the leaf to the infusions have presented significant reductions, however, the Mn values in the infusion may exceed the tolerable daily intake (11 mg) if consumption of this tea is greater than 1.0 L per day. So the tea of senescent leaves of M. linifera may be considered as a toxic beverage and thus its use is not advised.

Caracterização física, química e nutricional dos frutos da Aninga
(2011-06) AMARANTE, Cristine Bastos do; SOLANO, Flávio Alípio Rodrigues; LINS, Alba Lucia Ferreira de Almeida; MÜLLER, Adolfo Henrique; MÜLLER, Regina Celi Sarkis
Montrichardia linifera, commonly known as aninga, belongs to the family Araceae and forms large populations on the banks of rivers and streams of the Amazon, especially in white water (muddy). Its fruit are part of the diet of fish, turtles and large herbivores, such as manatees and buffalo, thus they can be used in animal nutrition. However, despite its wide distribution in the Amazon landscape, there are no published data on the nutritional composition of this fruit. To assess its nutritional potential and to contribute to the knowledge of this species, this work aimed to carry out its physical, chemical, and nutritional characterization. Infructescence on average weighs 500 g with a set of about 80 fruits. Its nutritional value consists basically in its energy value (≅ 350 kcal), due mainly to the carbohydrate content (≅ 80%), presenting low protein value (< 0.5%). Manganese concentrations (≅ 1.800 mg kg-1) were considered toxic, far exceeding the maximum tolerable in nutrition of buffaloes (1.000 mg kg-1).

Caracterização química, avaliação da toxicidade oral aguda e da atividade antinociceptiva do extrato metanólico das folhas de Montrichardia linifera (Arruda) Schott
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08) COSTA, Wellington Junior Taisho Nagahama; AMARANTE, Cristine Bastos do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4101983776191966; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8602-8180; BASTOS, Gilmara de Nazareth Tavares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2487879058181806
Background: Montrichardia linifera (Arruda) Schott is popularly known as “aninga”, “aningaçu”, “aningaíba” and “aninga-do-igapó”. The compresses and plasters from the leaves of the medicinal plant are used to treat abscesses, tumors and pain caused by stingray stings. Aim of the study: The study aimed to investigate the antinociceptive potential of the methanolic extract of Montrichardia linifera leaves (MEMLL), as well as carry out chemical characterization and acute oral toxicity. Materials and methods: The leaves were collected during the rainy season and the methanolic extract was obtained after gradient extraction in different solvents. The MEMLL was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The evaluation of the acute oral toxicity test was used to observe the presence of toxic substances. Subsequently, acetic acid, hot plate and formalin tests were used to evaluate the analgesic effects. Results: The HPLC fingerprint analysis allowed the identification of rutin, quercetin and epicatechin. The analysis of NMR spectra identified rutin and quercetin, as well as the flavonoids luteolin and chrysoeriol. The MEMLL did not demonstrate effects considered toxic. In the acetic acid test, the MEMLL inhibited peripheral pain by 51.46% (p < 0.05) at a dose of 50 mg/kg and 75.08% (p < 0.001) at a dose of 100 mg/kg. The hot plate test evaluated the latency time of animals, demonstrating central activity at 30 and 60 min increasing by 164.43% (p < 0.01) and 122.95% (p < 0.05) at a dose of 50 mg /kg and 162.62% (p < 0.01) and 136.68% (p < 0.05) at a dose of 100 mg/kg. The formalin test evaluated the central and peripheral antinociceptive effect of the MEMLL. In the neurogenic phase, a reduction of 35.25% (p < 0.05) at a dose of 50 mg/kg and 52.30% (p < 0.01) at a dose of 100 mg/kg. In inflammatory pain, a reduction of 66.39% (p < 0.0001) and 72.15% (p < 0.0001) was observed. Conclusion: The antinociceptive activity supports its ethnopharmacological use. This analgesic effect is probably associated with the identified flavonoids, all of which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties. Furthermore, the MEMLL was non-toxic.
