Abstrakt: Endopleura uchi (Huber) Cuatrec, known as uxi, is a native plant from the Amazon region, which has been used by locals for some pathology treatments. This review aimed to find the main uxi studies carried out in scientific literature. This compilation includes the biological activities that have been proven, parts of the plant that were exploited, as well as its nutritional properties. Uxi fruit has compounds, such as vitamins A and E, minerals, bioactive phenolic and organic acids, along with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and anti-cholesterol actions. Some E. uchi extract activities have been reported, such as: α-glucosidase and cyclooxygenases (COX1/COX2) inhibitions, in addition to anti-bactericidal properties. The isocoumarin compound, bergenin is responsible for many of the reported biological activities of this species. E. uchi can be used for manufacturing products in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, demonstrating its worth, regional economic growth, along the potential to dominate the worldwide market.
