Abstract The species Rhaphiodon echinus, known as betonica or
creeping mint, is considered an infesting plant species, typical of the
caatinga biome. Morphoanatomy is a very important tool to study the
structure of plants, both its external and internal morphology, opening
the knowledge about the production of secondary metabolites. These
compounds are of great importance for scientific research, which may
present themselves as the best antioxidants. Taking into account a lack
of data in the literature on the essential oil of R. echinus, this study
aimed to demonstrate its antioxidant activity and toxicity. In order
to test this… More >
