What is it about?
Baccharis trimera, popularly known as ‘‘carqueja’’, is a native South-American plant possessing a high concentration of polyphenolic compounds and therefore high antioxidant potential. It has potential to minimize oxidative damage in diseases that are associated with redox processes

Why is it important?
Our findings show that B. trimera has a potential mechanism for inhibiting ROS production through the PKC signaling pathway and inhibition subunit p47phox phosphorylation of NADPH oxidase.
Perspectives
Baccharis trimera has the potential to treat diseases related to redox and inflammatory processes.
