Biological Activities by Chemistry Substances Isolated from Mycorrhizal Fungi of Pinus Sp.

Abstract

The genus Pinus is represented for woody plants which has big economic importance. There are reports that some mycorrhizal fungi associated with this plant produce chemistry compounds with biological activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between genus of fungi found in Pinus, biological activities detected and substances isolated. In this way, it was realized a systematic review of mycorrhizal fungi found in Pinus. The articles were selected in the databases Lilacs, Scielo, Pubmed, Scopus, Science direct and Web of Science, using the program Endnote® for the data storage. As keywords we used the terms: mycorrhizal fungi and biological activity and Pinus, mycorrhizal fungi and chemical components and Pinus. It was found 2322 articles, these, 1478 had the abstracts evaluated, and, 13 were selected to be read in full, leaving 7 for analysis of the data. In the articles evaluated were found 23 genuses of mycorrhizal fungi present in Pinus species. The activity most reported was the antioxidant activity and the tocopherol was the isolated substance with more prevalence. This review can contribute to research in the humanities, agricultural and veterinary due to the scarcity of research in this theme.
