Abstract
Plants of the genus Helichrysum belongs to the Asteraceae family. In Madeira Archipelago (Portugal) Helichrysum devium Johns. and Helichrysum melaleucum Rchb. ex Holl, endemic sub-species of Helichrysum, are used in traditional folk medicine for treating bronchitis and pharyngitis. Preliminary biological tests such as evaluation of Artemia salina mortality and antimycobacterial activity were performed with the crude methanol extract of the aerial parts (flowers and leaves) for those two Helichrysum species. The extracts showed high activity on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (<50µg/mL).
