Abstract
Free radicals consume electrons from other adjacent molecules, altered and compromising the structures of these molecules, causing oxidation and premature aging. Several diseases are associated with oxidative stress, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, atherosclerosis. In view of the diversity of the Brazilian flora, the present sought to address through the literature studies on the antioxidant capacity of native Brazilian species. To this end, 15 studies selected from primary research sources were analyzed. The selected studies pointed out that species such as Anadenanthera peregrina and Plinia cauliflora represent an alternative in obtaining antioxidant compounds, due to the presence of phenolic compounds. Further studies are needed to extract and isolate these compounds to apply in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry safely.
