Clarisia racemosa is a valuable resource in the wood industry, commonly used as raw material for furniture, boat construction, civil engineering, and various other applications. However, this species is used in other sectors as well. Research has shown that this plant has therapeutic potential for medicinal purposes. This review aims to present the various biological activities of the Clarisia racemosa plant. This study was conducted by postgraduate students in the Morphotechnology program at the Federal University of Pernambuco, from September 1st to October 6th, 2023, as part of a course on scientific article and patent preparation. The research findings confirmed that the species has the ability to promote various beneficial activities, including antioxidant, antitumor, toxicological, insecticidal, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and photoprotective effects. This review aims to increase the value of species found in the Brazilian flora by obtaining products with high added value.
