The oxidative effect caused by free radicals derived from O 2 metabolism occurs naturally in the human body. The oxidative stress, the increase of this condition, is correlated with the disease's appearance and can be intensified by the exposure of extern factors, like solar radiation, thus causing significant cellu lar damage and also may cause faster aging of cells. Researches with plant extracts have shown that they may have compounds with pharmacological interesting to healing and/or preventing cellular damag es caused by oxidative stress, those may results a photo protective and antiglicant activity. Among the plant species, the Annonaceae family has representatives that contain bioactive compounds with different pharmacological activities, making them important to the study of antioxidative capacity and its relatio n with photoprotective and anti glicant potential. Then , this project is designed to measure the oxidative, photoprotective and antiglicant potential in in vitro assays, and also to quantify the total phenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins in the samples . Another target is also to characterize by phytochemistry the extracts with higher antioxidant activity. The results showed that A. crassiflora and A. cacans are best in most tests of antioxidant capacity and between types of extracts evaluated, as well as potential sunscreen. The leaf extract of A. crassiflora sh owed the best results for anti - glycation test , as well as quantification of phenols. Among the pulps A . muricata we got the best anti - glycation result. To quantify both the flavonoids, as in CCD, the best results were found in the leaf of...
