In this chapter, we summarize the current knowledge of interesting terpenes found in Mexican medicinal plants, with special emphasis on the zoapatle (Montanoa tomentosa), a plant originally called "cihuapahtli." This means woman s medicine, and it was used to assist women during difficult labor because of its specific uterus contraction effect caused by the diterpene active substances. Finally, some aspects of the current use of medicinal plants in different cultural environments will be discussed. [Pg.286]

This chapter summarizes the current knowledge of a small part of the Aztec knowledge concerning some sesqui- and diterpenes from Mexican medicinal plants. New anti-inflammatory drugs are being designed based on the mechanism of action of some of these, and other medicines are still to be developed once are able to elucidate their mechanisms. Finally, the current cultural differences produced by the use and abuse of these plants outside of their original cultural context is discussed. [Pg.305]

A current compilation of Mexican medicinal plants indicates that no pharmacological studies have been carried out to test the presumed properties of the decoction [13]. Chemical studies of the aerial parts of Penstemon barbatus have afforded four aucubin iridoid glycosides catalpol (53), scutellarioside (54), globularin (55) and barbatoside (56) "Fig. (15)." The two former compounds were isolated as their acetate derivatives [101]. Several iridoid glycosides have shown anti-inflammatory activity in experimentally induced edema in mice best results were obtained when administered topically. The most active compounds were two catalpol derivatives, besides aucubine, verbalin and loganin these compounds induced a 72 to 80% edema inhibition when applied at a dose of 1 mg/ear [102]. [Pg.837]

An ethnobotanical survey of medicinal plants conducted by the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, revealed B. crassifolia was among the ten most frequently mentioned plants used by traditional healers for gastrointestinal disorders, specially for the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery. Other indications included child delivery, for the treatment of vaginal flux, and to treat stomatitis [71]. Other ethnomedical information collected about crassifolia is in good correspondence with the reported survey [70, 72] and correlate well with the medical uses given in the XVI century (Table 6). [Pg.827]
