Abstract in Portuguese
Problemas dermatológicos relacionados com a pigmentação resultam em hiperpigmentações ou hipopigmentação cutâneas. Produtos cosméticos e farmacêuticos com atividade despigmentantes são utilizados para o tratamento de pacientes que apresentam distúrbios de hiperpigmentação. Os despigmentantes atualmente utilizados não são totalmente eficazes ou seguros, razão pela qual há intensa pesquisa, principalmente em países asiáticos, com a finalidade de se obter novos agentes com esta ação, em especial, inibidores de enzimas envolvidas na melanogênese como a tirosinase. Considerando-se que algumas substâncias obtidas de plantas apresentam essa atividade, a flora brasileira constitui-se uma fonte potencial de obtenção de novos despigmentantes. No presente trabalho, 24 extratos aquosos e 23 extratos orgânicos de plantas da Floresta Amazônica, 01 aquoso e 01 orgânico da Mata Atlântica, foram avaliados quanto à inibição da tirosinase, pelo método enzimático, com leitura espectrofotométrica. Do total de 49 extratos testados, 09 mostraram atividade. Estes extratos foram retestados e os valores de concentração da atividade inibitória 50%(AI 50%), determinados. O mais ativo foi o extrato orgânico de Ruprechtia sp com AI 50% de 33,76µg/mL, seguido do extrato orgânico de Rapanea parviflora com AI 50% de 64,19µg/mL.

Abstract in English
Dermatological disorders related to pigmentation result in cutaneous hyperpigmentation or hipopigmentation. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical products with despigmentant activity are used for the treatment of patients who have hyperpigmentation disorders. Nowadays, skin whitening agents are not to tally effective and safe, reason for intense researches in order to obtain new agents with action especially ones which inhibit enzymes involved in melanogenesis like tirosinase, mainly in Asian countries. Since some substances from plants have this activity, the flora of Brazil is a potential source of new skin whitening agents. In this study 24 aqueous extracts and 23 organic ones of plants from Amazonian region, and 1 aqueous extracts and 1 organic extract from Atlantic Forest were tested to inhibition of tirosinase using enzymatic method with photometric reader. Out of the 49 tested extracts, 9 showed activity in the screening. These extracts were tested again and 50% tyrosinase inhibitory activity concentration (IA 50%) was calculated. The most activite of them was the organic extract of Ruprechtia sp with IA 50% 33,76µg/mL and the organic extract of Rapanea parviflora with IA 50% 64,19µg/mL.
