Cola acuminata

Xanthines such as caffeine (1)> theophylline (aminophylline) (2), and theobromine (3) are a class of alkaloids that occur in numerous plants. The CNS stimulant activity of aqueous infusions containing these compounds has been recognized since antiquity. This has, of course, led to widespread consumption of such well-known beverages as coffee (Coffea arabica), tea (Thea sinesis), mate, and cola beverages (in part Cola acuminata). The annual consumption of caffeine in the United States alone has been estimated to be in excess of a billion kilos. The pure compounds have found some use in the clinic as CNS stimulants. In addition, caffeine is widely used in conjunction with aspirin in various headache remedies. [Pg.423]

Kola Cola nitida and Cola acuminata) is endemic of the African rain forest. It shows stimulating properties attributable tp caffeine and theobromine present at high concentrations. Ethiopia is known for the largest variety of coffee seeds (of Coffea spp.) from an extremely varying micro-habitat, and spices. [Pg.131]

Methyl derivatives of xanthine (2,3-dioxypurine) namely caffeine (1,3,7-trimethyl-xanthine), theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine) and theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) (Section 1, Appendix) are variously found in plants used for stimulatory drinks such as Ilex paraguayensis (mate) (Aquifoliaceae), Coffea species (coffee) (Rubiaceae), Paullinia cupana (guarana) (Sapindaceae), Cola acuminata (cola) and Theabroma cacao (cocoa) (Sterculiaceae) and Camellia sinensis (tea) (Theaceae). These methylxanthines are variously active as inhibitors of... [Pg.20]

The slaves found great biodiversity in Brazil and set about deciphering same, to survive both physically and culturally. Adaptation to the new habitat and the new social conditions gave way to substitution of indispensable plants that were not found here [40]. When it was not possible to find these plants, the Black population developed strategies so that these species could be brought from Africa [40]. Species such as Cola acuminata (P. Beauv.) Schott Endl. (obi), Garcinia kola Heckel (orobo kola nut) and Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (dende oil palm) were introduced in Brazil [41]. [Pg.552]

In isolated rat hearts, application of an aqueous extract of Cola nitida subsp. rubra increased the heart metabolic rate at concentrations of 4 to 8 mg/1, while the rate decreased to control levels at 10 mg/1. In hearts treated with Cola acuminata, the heart metabolic rate increased after treatment with 4 to 10 mg/1 with peak activity at 6 mg/1. Extracts of both species did not cause any change in heart metabolic rate after treatment with a concentration of 2 mg/1. Both extracts caused a dose-dependent increase followed by a decrease in heart rate (Chukwu et al. 2006). [Pg.253]
