Biodiversidade flavonoídica e aspectos farmacológicos em espécies dos gêneros Ouratea e Luxemburgia (Ochnaceae) Flavonoidic biodiversiy and pharmacologic aspects in the species of the Ouratea and Luxemburgia genera (Ochnaceae)

This work describes the flavonoids and biflavonoids found in species of Ouratea and Luxemburgia as chemical markers that serve to detect the difference between these taxa according to the linkage between the flavonoidal units. A rational nomenclature is proposed and the pharmacological potencial is discussed.
