    Plants of the Maytenus genus have been used in folk medicine in Brazil for treatment of gastrointestinal motility disturbances such as diarrhea. The present study was performed to evaluate antigiardial activity of the hexane extract and triterpenes isolated from the branches of Maytenus gonoclada Mart. (Celastraceae). The hexane extract and triterpenes were examined for antigiardial activity using the colorimetric method against Giardia lamblia (ATCC 30888). The hexane extract exhibited antigiardial activity. This result may partly explain and support the use of plants of the Maytenus genus for the treatment of diarrhea in folk medicine in Brazil.

    The phytochemical study of hexane/ethyl ether (1:1) extract of the roots of M. imbricata, Celastraceae, resulted in the isolation and characterization of six known triterpenes: 11α-hydroxylup-20(29)-en-3-one, previously isolated from this species besides, 3β,11α- di-hydroxylup-20(29)-ene, 3,7-dioxofriedelane, 3-oxo-29-hydroxyfriedelane, tingenone and 6-oxo-tingenol. The chemical structures of these triterpenes were established by spectrometric data (IR, 1H and 13C NMR) and through comparison with literature data. The hexane/ethyl ether (1:1), ethyl acetate and methanol extracts, and 11α-hydroxylup-20(29)-en-3-one, tingenone and 6-oxo-tingenol, showed antimicrobial properties on in vitro assays. All extracts and triterpenes, except 3β,11α-di-hydroxylup-20(29)-ene, presented toxicity demonstrated by the larvicidal effect test using Artemia salina.
