Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd., e um arbusto de 3-4 m de altura. Arbusto originario da regiao leste tropical da Australia, muito cultivado para fixar dunas em terrenos ingremes, sujeitos a erosao. Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd. foi investigada visando a identificacao dos flavonoides majoritarios em suas flores e a avaliacao de atividades antimicrobianas. Atraves de metodos cromatograficos, tres flavonoides foram isolados a partir da fracao acetato de etila. Estes foram identificados a partir de analises espectroscopicas e propriedades fisico-quimicas como uma flavanona, a naringenina e dois de seus heterosideos: a naringenina-5-b-D-glucosideo. Usando CLAE, os flavonoides isolados foram qualificados no material isolado, apresentando teores minimos de 0,582 % (m/m) de naringenina-5-b-D-galactosideo, 0,2 % (m/m) de naringenina-5-b-D-glucosideo e 0,018 % (m/m) de naringenina. A fracao Acetato de Etila, na concentracao de 500 ppm mostrou uma significativa atividade anti-fungica, inibindo 30% do crescimento micelial de Rysoctonia sp. Tambem houve inibicao do crescimento micelial de Colletotrichum acutatum (15,9 %) e de Fusarium oxysporum (10,5 %). O extrato etanolico bruto, suas fracoes Acetato de Etila e Diclorometano foram testadas contra cepas de Saphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis e Escherichia coli em concentracoes ate 1000 mg, nao sendo detectada qualquer atividade inibitoria. ANALYSIS OF Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd. Leguminosae-mimosoideae FLAVONOIDS Abstract Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd., is a shrub (3-4 m in height). Originally from Australia east-tropical region, it is cultivated to firm dunes in steep grounds. A. longifolia was invesstigated to evaluate antimicrobial activity and to identify flavonoids in its flowers. Three flavonoids were isolated through chromatographic means from the ethyl acetate fraction. The flavonoids were identified by spectral analysis and physical-chemical properties as Naringenin, a flavonone, and two of its glycosides, naringenin-5-b-D-galactoside e a naringenin-5-b-D-glucoside. Using na HPLC system, the isolated flavonoids were quantified in the plantmaterial, givingminimumvalues of 0,582%(w/w) of naringenin- 5-b-D-galactoside, 0,2 % (w/w) of naringenin-5-b-D-glucoside and 0,018 % (w/w) of naringenin. At the concentration of 500 ppm the ethyl acetate fraction showed a remarkable anti-fungi activity inhibiting 30%of themicelial growth of Rysoctonia sp. It also inhibit themicelial growth of Colletotrichum acutatum (15,9 %) and Fusarium oxysporum (10,5 %). The crude ethanoiic extract, its ethyl acetate and dichloromethane fractions were tested against strains of Saphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Escherichia coli at concentrations up to 1000 mg, giving no activity.
