Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the medicinal uses of "ipê-roxo," a plant that folk medicine uses to treat skin inflammation, infections, stomach issues, and cancer.
- It highlights the identification of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from the plant's seeds using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
- The study found that the hexane extract (HE) of the seeds has strong antioxidant properties but no cytotoxic effects, while the FAMEs showed high toxicity in bioassays.
