(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-07-24) RIBEIRO, Christian Miranda; OLIVEIRA, Davi de Jesus; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5170029508278769; VIEIRA, José Maria dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6807452375674442
The study of medicinal plants it makes possible the discovery of new bioactive components in the search for promising drugs. The increase of infections and the appearance of the microbial resistance strengthen this research. The Objective of this study it was evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the extracts of six medicinal plants of the Amazonia: Psidium guajava (guava), Bryophyllum calycinum Salisb (pirarucu), Eleutherine plicata Herb (marupazinho), Uncaria guianensis (Cats claw), Arrabideae chica (pariri) e Mansoa alliacea (Lam.) A.H. Gentry (cipó d'alho) against ATCC strains of fungi and bacteria.The collection and the identification of the plant were performed in EMBRAPA/CPATU and the phytochemical analysis in the Laboratory of FACFAR/UFPA and CESUPA in agreement with the methodologies established in these laboratories. The crude ethanolic extract of leaves and the underground parts of marupazinho were submitted to the antimicrobial activity evaluation though the ágar disc diffusion method and determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) though microdilution in plate and ágar disc diffusion methods. The extracts were used in concentrations of 500, 250, 125, 62,5 and 31,25 mg/mL using as solvent Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO). The Guava extract was effective against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans (MIC 125mg\mL), pirarucu was effective against S aureus (MIC= 500 mg/mL) and P. aeruginosa (MIC= 250 mg/mL), marupazinho against S.aureus (MIC= 500mg/mL) and C. albicans (MIC= 250mg/mL), Cats claw against S. aureus (MIC= 62,5mg/mL) and pariri was effective against S. aureus (MIC= 62,5 mg/mL), E. coli (MIC=250 mg/mL) and C. albicans (MIC 500 mg/mL). The fractions of U. guianensis extracts was obtained though fractioned dissolution methods and show that only the methanolic fraction presented antimicrobial activity. The results show that Amazonia medicinal plants presents antimicrobial activity and. This promissory extracts open the possibility of finding new clinically effective antimicrobial compounds.

Entre maracás, curimbas e tambores: pajelanças nas religiões afro-brasileiras
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-03) QUINTAS, Gianno Gonçalves; MAUÉS, Raymundo Heraldo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0915136632611666
The purpose of this dissertation is to study the pajelança in the city of Belém, place where most of the accomplished studies if it concentrates in the decade of 1970 and 1980, or it has as investigation locus the countryside of the state of Pará. Some articles of Vicente Salles (1969) and Napoleão Figueiredo (1994) point to disappearance of the "pure" pajelança in Belém. This disappearance was due, in great measure, to the “influence” of the umbanda. Thus, the objective is to understand, starting from the study of four terreiros, as that practice is constituted in the city of Belém under the context of the Afro-Brazilian religions. The pajelança or “pena e maracá”, as it is known, is characterized, basically, in the faith of "encantados", that "incorporate", during the rituals, in the pajé, who is the central character of the sessions.

Fitoterapia popular: uma abordagem sobre a etnotoxicologia das práticas fitoterápicas no distrito de Marudá – Marapanim/Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-11-25) OLIVEIRA, Nayana Véras Jardim de; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070
The dissertation propose the expansion of the existent theoretical outline about the medicinal plants amid the Amazon regional context, from the social actors’ perception related to the phytotherapy practice in the studied area, Marudá’s District (Marapanim – Pará). Specifically, it discusses the proposal of a new approach, the ethnotoxicology, for the capture and evaluation of data related to the undesired effects attributed to the use of the phytotherapic. The specific goals were: to raise ethnotoxicological data related to phytoterapy’s practice, to systematize the information related to medicinal plants, which were mentioned by the interviewed groups, to describe the security profile for the phytotherapy that is practiced in Marudá from the Ethnotoxicology and to elaborate a VadeMecum to the referred medicinal plants, in conjunction with previous academic productions. The information was collected from field interviews made with a group of 10 people shared three groups: local nurses, herb women from the group Life’s Herb and local users and tourists. In this work, the guiding proposal points a real analysis, by a relatively new side, which interlines the data collect in the phytotherapy practitioner’s perception, taking in consideration the reality in which each individual is inserted. The dissertation emerges the interviewed group perception about the associated risks to the indiscriminated phytotherapy practice, in order to contribute to the expansion of the theoretical outline related to the theme, consolidation of a safe praxis and action’s effectuation, within the public politics of health attention, with respect to the use of plants as a therapeutic resource; therefore promoting the safe phytotherapy development not only in Marudá’s area, but also in other communities that develop similar activities.

Folclore e medicina popular na Amazônia
(2009-12) HENRIQUE, Márcio Couto
This discussion of the relations between folklore and popular medicine in the Amazon takes Canuto Azevedo's story "Filhos do boto" (Children of the porpoise) as an analytical reference point. Replete with elements of cultural reality, folk tales can serve as historical testimonies expressing clashes between different traditions. Folk records are fruit of what is often a quarrelsome dialogue between folklorists, social scientists, physicians, and pajés and their followers, and their analysis should take into account the conditions under which they were produced. Based on the imaginary attached to the figure of the porpoise - a seductive creature with healing powers - the article explores how we might expand knowledge of popular medicine as practiced in the Amazon, where the shamanistic rite known as pajelança cabocla has a strong presence.

Médica da (e na) floresta: a trajetória de uma parteira, pajé e benzedeira Tembé Tenetherar
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-06) PANTOJA, Ana Lídia Nauar
The purpose of this article is to reflect on the importance of traditional knowledge and traditional healing practices among the Tembé Tenethehar indigenous peoples, in the northeast of the state of Pará, through the biographical narratives of a midwife, shaman and healer from Aldeia Ytuaçu. The exploratory research using the biographical method and oral history, had the data submitted to qualitative analysis, pointing to the importance that women assume in the community and in particular the midwife Francisca, whose trajectory reveals, the tradition of popular medicine that it is not always valued in the context of indigenous health care policies that have been implemented by the State and at the local level, thereby pointing to the risks of uprooting ancestral cultural values essential to the preservation of their traditions and identities.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-08-31) SILVA, Ianna Dias Ribeiro da; REBELO, Monaliza Maia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2064401199679916; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070
The use of hyphenated techniques that allow the separation and isolation of substances of a herbal extracts is necessary both for the knowledge of the chemical composition of a compound, as well as for the determination of a substance or a group that serve as marker of particular species. The species Acmella oleracea (l.) R. K. Jansen, grows in Legal Amazon, a geographic region in northern Brazil, where is known as Jambu, Agrião Bravo ou Agrião do Pará. It is used in folk medicine in the form of tea, syrups and tinctures and indicated for use as anesthetic and antiseptic. The aim of this study was to use the HPLC-UV-ELSD and HPLC-DAD-MS for the development of methods that can identify metabolites of interest on Acmella oleracea. The plant material was acquired in Tailândia, State of Pará, in the Santa Inês farm, city of Tomé-Açu, PA150 highway margins, positioned the 260 km from Belém, at 02° 56 ' 22 '' south latitude and 48° 57 ' 03 '' west longitude, and consisted of 10 packs of Acmella oleracea (jambu), composed of leaves, flower, root and stem, after cleaning the material was grinded and then macerated for 7 days with 92.8° GL ethanol at a ratio of 1:10. Hydroethanolic extracts, of each part of the plant, were filtered and concentrated at a low pressure and then lyophilized for further analysis with hyphenated techniques. The Spilanthol was registered in the analysis by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS, Scan mode and Product ion, through the detection of ion m/z 222 in all analyzed organs. A substance which showed m/z 376.80 for analysis with etoh/water and m/z 388.20 for acn/water, which has promising profile was found through the analysis by HPLC-DAD-MS and needs specific experiments for confirmation of flavonoids. During the development of methods, it was observed that the best chromatographic profiles of EEAOFOC and EEAOR were obtained when the mobile phase was composed of ethanol and water.
