Abstract

Medicinal plants are elements that make up part of the biodiversity and have been widely used by various peoples and in various ways since the dawn of civilization. The Minquartia guianensis has a high relevance in the commercial sector, because its wood is widely used in the timber market in the Amazon region. However, besides this characteristic, some studies show the medicinal potential of this species.  Therefore, this study aimed to search for information about the ethnomedicinal uses used, to describe the botanical aspects, as well as to approach the main methods of extraction and the classes of secondary metabolites with their respective medicinal properties. This integrative review was carried out using databases such as SCIELO, Google Scholar, PUBMED and LILACS. The articles were searched in Portuguese and English, and most were published in the last 20 years. The survey showed the relation of the occurrence of secondary metabolites present in the species, which have antifungal, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory potential, as well as antimalarial and leishmanicidal activities.
