dc.description.abstractIn this research, a study of the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of two Euphorbia species (Euphorbia hirta and Euphorbia jolkinii) was developed. Euphorbia species belong to the Euphorbiaceae family, being commonly found in America and tropical Africa. Euphorbia species have been traditionally used in folk medicine to treat gonorrhea, migraines, intestinal parasites, warts, and skin diseases [1]. Since there is more data available of Euphorbia hirta, the aim of this study was to provide a comparison between E. hirta and E. jokinii regarding their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. For the cellular antioxidant activity, murine macrophage cells RAW 264.7 were used following the procedure described by Wolf & Lui (2007). E. hirta showed better inhibition percentage results than E. jolkinii, being 2,000 μg/mL, the maximum concentration tested for both samples. Extracts of both Euphorbia species were used to determine their antimicrobial activity. Gram-negative and Gram-positive food and clinical bacteria were tested for this assay. Moreover, Streptomycin, Methicillin and Ampicillin were used as controllers to compare both MIC and MBC results. For the food bacteria, E. jolkinii had better MIC results than E. hirta when Gram-negative bacteria were tested, although it was lower than controllers. MBC results for both Euphorbia species were similar and lower than the controllers. When Gram-positive clinical bacteria were tested, similar MIC results between both extracts were obtained. However, when L. monocytogenes and S. aureus were tested, E. jolkinii showed better MIC results. Antifungal activity was also assessed using ketoconazole as control and Aspergillus brasiliensis and Aspergillus fumigatus as fungi. Unsatisfactory results were obtained for both Euphorbia species for both fungi. AGS, CaCo2, MCF-7, NCl-H460, PLP2 and RAW 264.7 cell lines were used for the anti-inflammatory assay. Ellipticine was used as control in all the cell lines except in RAW 264.7, where dexamethasone was used. Results showed lower anti-inflammatory activity of the 2 extracts compared to the controllers in all cell lines, being E. jolkinii the one with lower GI50. Considering the obtained results, although E. hirta has been widely studied, E. jolkinii showed better antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities, being a suitable option for the pharmacological industry.pt_PT
