G. Forst. is a genus of plants belonging to the family with intertropical distribution in America, Asia, and Oceania. Of the 100 accepted species, 22 are under some level of conservation risk. In this review, around 13 species of the genus used as medicinal plants were found, mainly in Central and South America, with a variety of uses, among which antimicrobial is the most common. There is published research in chemistry and pharmacological activity on around 15 of the genus species, centering in their antibacterial and fungicidal activity. Additionally, a variety of active phytochemicals have been isolated, the most representative of which are atraric acid, xylosmine and its derivatives, and velutinic acid. There is still ample field for the validation and evaluation of the activity of extracts, particularly in species not yet studied, and concerning uses other than antimicrobial and for the identification and evaluation of their active compounds.
G. Forst. 是一个植物属，隶属于分布于美洲、亚洲和大洋洲的热带地区的科。在已确认的100个物种中，有22种处于某种程度的保护风险之下。在本综述中，发现该属约13种植物被用作药用植物，主要分布在中美洲和南美洲，具有多种用途，其中抗菌是最常见的用途。已发表了关于该属约15个物种的化学和药理活性的研究，重点是它们的抗菌和杀真菌活性。此外，还分离出了多种活性植物化学物质，其中最具代表性的是阿特拉酸、木洛明及其衍生物以及维鲁亭酸。提取物活性的验证和评估仍有很大空间，特别是在尚未研究的物种中，以及除抗菌以外的其他用途方面，还有对其活性化合物的鉴定和评估。
