SUMMARY:

Considered one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet, Brazil has a diversity of species in fauna and flora, this is also a reflection of the territorial extent and diversity of biomes present. Among the biomes in the national territory, the Caatinga stands out for being an exclusively Brazilian biome, whose vegetation is one of the most threatened on the planet, and, despite this, they still do not have many botanical studies in this area, being a large part of these plants used by the population therapeutic purpose. In this sense, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of methanolic extracts from leaves of catingueira (Cenostigma bracteosum) and canafístula (Senna trachypus), plants native to the Caatinga belonging to the Fabaceae family. For this, the leaves of catingueira (Cenostigma bracteosum) and canafístula (Senna trachypus) were separated, cataloged and labeled in plastic bags for processing in the laboratory. Then the process of maceration with the solvent methanol was carried out, to obtain the methanolic extracts. With the obtained extracts, it was possible to verify the presence of secondary metabolites, in addition these same extracts will be used to perform toxicological tests, hemolytic and anti-microbial activity, in addition to checking the neuroprotective potential. The results obtained in this study, about the neuroprotective potential of catingueira (Cenostigma bracteosum) and canafístula (Senna trachypus), two species of plants native to the Brazilian Caatinga, will enable the understanding of the true potential of these species of the Fabaceae family, which are already commonly used to treat various illnesses by the traditional local population.
