•Both the articles are based on the usefulness of D.
Brasiliensis as the phytochemical content of the plant have
shown antiviral, antispasmodic, antidiarrheal, antipyretic
and other properties.
•Both the articles described the in vitro and in vivo
phytochemical assays to determine the usefulness of the
plant extracts (Parreira et al. 2017).
•The plant is the member of Winteraceae family and resides
in the Brazilian region primarily (Merotto et al. 2017)
INTRODUCTION
SIGNIFICANC
THE DATA
Both the articles find the data on the basis of the following
factors:
•In vivo phytochemical assya.
•In vitro phytochemical assya
•HPLC technique used for the separation of the volatile
compounds (Merotto et al. 2017).
•The effects of the compounds on the cells by means of cell
line culture such as MDBK and Vero cell line (Parreira et
al. 2017).
KEY RESULTS
•On the basis of the Turkey’s test the P value of the test was
<0.01 which is significant and quercetrin, astilbin and
isoastilbin are the predominant compounds. The antiviral
activity test showed that bovine herpes virus (BoHV)
inhibition up to 99% (Parreira et al. 2017).
• The in vitro analysis found that the 500 microgram/mL
concentrations contains vitamin C or the antioxidant up to
63%. The effect of the D. Brasiliensis found to be reducing
the cholesterol and the triglyceride thus reducing the liver
and spleen weight of the samples at the concentration of
3500 microgram/mL and 5250 microgram/mL
administration (Merotto et al. 2017).
Application
•On the basis of these findings from the above articles it
can be said that the phytochemical content of the D.
Brasiliensis is rich with antioxidant and the other volatile
compounds that can reduce the level of the cholesterol and
the viral activity in cells thus the plant extract can be used
as the component of antiviral medicines.
•The cholesterol reducing capability of the plant extract can
also be used for the obesity control diet and the medication
as well.
•The phytochemical extracts from the stem barks has
shown significant effect against uterine bleeding and
digestive tract disorder of humans (Merotto et al. 2017).
•The volatile compound Demerin of the stem bark of D.
Brasiliensis has shown a vast effect on viral infection
among cattle and companion animals along with humans
(Parreira et al. 2017).

profile and in vitro evaluation of extracts from leaves of Drimys
brasiliensis (Winteraceae) against bovine and equine herpesviruses.
On the basis of these researches it can be concluded that the
effects of the antioxidant and other phytochemicals in the D.
Brasiliensis are beneficial for the humans and the further
research would be needed for the development o the idea
about the usefulness of the volatile compounds of the plant
extracts in the implementation for cancer treatment. Other
than this the plant extract needed to be examined for the
animal medication as well.
