TL;DR: The use of copaiba and sacaca plants as well as their adulteration and side effects, and the new regulations on phytotherapeutic registration in Brazil and Europe are discussed.
Abstract: This paper reviews the recent literature on synergism, adulteration and risks of using medicinal plants. The use of copaiba and sacaca plants as well as their adulteration and side effects, are also described. In addition, the new regulations on phytotherapeutic registration in Brazil and Europe are discussed.

TL;DR: The Copaiba Oil from Copaifera multijuga Hayne (100 mg/kg) was the most potent, inhibiting both NO production and the pleurisy induced by zymosan, and the oleoresins from CopAifera cearensis Huber ex Ducke and Copaifiera reticulata Ducke were also able to inhibit NOProduction and the Pleurisy but with less intensity.

TL;DR: This review presents all the substances already described in this oleoresin, together with structures and activities of its main terpenoids.
Abstract: Copaiba oleoresins are exuded from the trunks of trees of the Copaifera species (Leguminosae-Caesalpinoideae). This oleoresin is a solution of diterpenoids, especially, mono- and di-acids, solubilized by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. The sesquiterpenes and diterpenes (labdane, clerodane and kaurane skeletons) are different for each Copaifera species and have been linked to several reported biological activities, ranging from anti-tumoral to embriotoxic effects. This review presents all the substances already described in this oleoresin, together with structures and activities of its main terpenoids.

TL;DR: The higher susceptibility of Gram-positive bacteria when compared with Gram-negative strains was found, and a large variability in the antimicrobial activity of these essential oils was found.
Abstract: Natural products have been studied aiming to understand their biological properties Thus, this study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of twenty-seven essential oils (EOs) used in aromatherapy procedures, a natural therapy with great emphasis currently used against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains The agar dilution method was carried out and minimal inhibitory concentration against 50% and 90% of strains (MIC50% and MIC90% values) were reported The S aureus strains were highly susceptible with MIC90% from 021 mg/mL to black pepper (Piper nigrum) and tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) to 2652 mg/mL with copaiba (Copaifera officinalis) EO Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) and clove (Syzygium aromaticum) EOs were effective against E coli (20 mg/mL) while the S aromaticum EO was against P aeruginosa (829 mg/mL) Thus, the higher susceptibility of Gram-positive bacteria when compared with Gram-negative strains was found, and a large variability in t
