In the present study we aimed to describe a physical-chemical profile and pharmacognostic vegetal drug as well as to draw a chromatographic profile of the crude extract and its fractions. We have observed the occurrence of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, terpenes and tannins. The study of anti-Candida activity of extracts indicated the best results for C. glabrata (9.77-36.06 μg.mL-1), intermediate values for C. krusei (312.5-625 μg.mL-1), C. tropicalis (312.5-625μg.mL-1) and high values for C. albicans (1250>2500 μg.mL-1) and C. parapsilosis 625-2500 μg.mL-1).837-843enganti-CandidaCordiaphytochemicalArtigo10.1590/1983-084X/00542-s2.0-85149416438
