Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional antithrombotic therapy has reported hemorrhagic accidents. Ethnobotanical and scientific reports point to Cnidoscolus aconitifolius as an antithrombotic adjuvant. Previously, C. aconitifolius leaves ethanolic extract displayed antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic activities. This work aimed to identify compounds from C. aconitifolius with in vitro antithrombotic activity through a bioassay-guided study. Antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic tests guided the fractionation. Ethanolic extract was subjected to a liquid-liquid partitioning, followed by vacuum liquid, and size exclusion chromatography to obtain the bioactive JP10B fraction. The compounds were identified through UHPLC-QTOF-MS, and their molecular docking, bioavailability, and toxicological parameters were determined computationally. Kaempferol-3-O-glucorhamnoside and 15(S)-HPETE were identified; both showed affinity for antithrombotic targets, low absorption, and safety for human consumption. Further in vitro and in vivo evaluations will better understand their antithrombotic mechanism. This bioassay-guided fractionation demonstrated that C. aconitifolius ethanolic extract has antithrombotic compounds.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Background ad objective: Among the notable achievements of the twentieth century was the discovery and identification of new drugs from plants against microbial infections. However, the discovery of novel drugs since then is inadequate due to emergence of resistant microbes. In an effort to discover novel drugs, the study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of crude extracts from endophytic fungi isolated from Cnidoscolas aconitifolius and Ocimum suave.
Methods: Following morphological characterization and initial screening for antimicrobial activity, isolates that had higher inhibition were genotypes by Sanger sequencing. Two isolates (Candida tropicalis from O. suave and Phyllosticta capitalensis from C. aconitifolius) were tested for antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Results: Overall, the range of crude extract concentration was from 152 mg/mL to 1353 mg/mL, and that of a zone of inhibition was from 7 to 21 mm. The lowest minimum inhibition concentration (19>MIC>9.5) was observed in Phyllosticta spp. extract against S. aureus.
Conclusions: Findings of the present study have shown that endophytes isolated from medicinal plants can generate secondary metabolites with therapeutic applications. Therefore, further investigations are warranted to decipher the content and structure of bioactive compounds that may be associated with the antimicrobial activity of crude extracts.

Cells 2022; 11:cells11040744.

Abstract
The purpose of our study is to determine the protective effects of the chaya leaf against mitochondrial abnormalities and synaptic damage in the Type 2 diabetes (T2D) mouse model, TallyHO (TH). The TH mouse is a naturally occurring polygenic mouse model of diabetes that mimics many characteristics of human Type 2 diabetes. Only male TH mice develop hyperglycemia and moderate obesity. Female mice display moderate obesity but do not manifest overt diabetes. In this study, we evaluated three groups of mice over a period of 11 weeks: (1) the experimental group of TH diabetic mice fed with chaya chow; (2) a diabetic control group of TH diabetic mice fed with regular chow; and (3) a non-diabetic control group of SWR/J mice fed with regular chow. Body mass and fasting blood glucose were assessed weekly. Brain and other peripheral tissues were collected. Using qRT-PCR and immunoblotting analyses, we measured the mRNA abundance and protein levels of mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, autophagy/mitophagy, and synaptic genes. Using immunofluorescence analysis, we measured the regional immunoreactivities of mitochondrial and synaptic proteins. Using biochemical methods, we assessed mitochondrial function. We found increased body mass and fasting glucose levels in the TH diabetic mice relative to the non-diabetic control SWRJ mice. In chaya chow-fed TH diabetic mice, we found significantly reduced body mass and fasting glucose levels. Mitochondrial fission genes were increased and fusion, biogenesis, autophagy/mitophagy, and synaptic genes were reduced in the TH mice; however, in the chaya chow-fed TH diabetic mice, mitochondrial fission genes were reduced and fusion, biogenesis, autophagy/mitophagy, and synaptic genes were increased. Mitochondrial function was defective in the diabetic TH mice; however, it was rescued in the chaya chow-fed TH mice. These observations strongly suggest that chaya chow reduces the diabetic properties, mitochondrial abnormalities, and synaptic pathology in diabetic, TH male mice. Our data strongly indicates that chaya can be used as natural supplemental diet for prediabetic and diabetic subjects and individuals with metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the development of medicinal plant-based therapies to diminish the ravages of the inflammatory process related to diseases and tissue damage. Most therapeutic effects of these traditional medicinal plants are owed to their phenolic and antioxidant properties. C. aconitifolius is a traditional medicinal plant in Mexico. Previous characterization reports have stated its high nutritional and antioxidant components. The present study aimed to better understand the biological activity of C. aconitifolius in inflammation response. We developed an ethyl acetate extract of this plant to evaluate its anti-inflammatory capacity and its flavonoid content. The topical anti-inflammatory effect of the ethyl acetate extract of C. aconitifolius was determined by the croton oil-induced mouse ear edema test, while flavonoid detection and concentration were determined by thin layer chromatography and the aluminum chloride colorimetric assay, respectively. Topical application of the extract showed significant inhibition of the induced-ear edema (23.52 and 49.41% for 25 and 50 mg/kg dose, respectively). The extract also exhibited the presence of flavonoids. The finding of the anti-inflammatory activity exerted by the C. aconitifolius and the identification of its active principles may suggest and support its use for inflammation treatment.

Abstract
In Mexico, Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (chaya) has been used to treat cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Because CVD are the number one cause of mortality, chaya use has become a health strategy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antithrombotic activity and identify the metabolites in the most active extract. Aqueous (Aq), ethanolic (EtOH), acetonic (An), ethyl acetate (AcOEt), diethyl ether (Et2O), and hexanic (Hx) extracts were obtained. Platelet aggregation, phospholipase A2, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and clot lysis were evaluated. Metabolites were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). EtOH showed the greatest inhibition of platelet aggregation and phospholipase A2. Ac had the greatest effect on PT and aPTT. AcOEt had the greatest effect on clot lysis. EtOH, with the highest potential, was analyzed by GC-MS; fatty acids and triterpenes were identified. Thus, EtOH showed greater antiplatelet activity and other extracts showed moderate activity. This is a preliminary antithrombotic study. Future research will allow the development of nutraceuticals or functional ingredients for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis.

Abstract
Chaya is an edible leaf popular in Mexico and Central America because of its high nutritional value. Studies in animal models have demonstrated the beneficial effects of Chaya, which include reduction of circulating lipids and increase in antioxidant activity. However, its hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects have not been demonstrated in humans. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Chaya on the lipid profile, lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and peripheral blood mononuclear cell gene expression in a population with dyslipidemia. We performed a single-arm trial in 30 participants with dyslipidemia who consumed 500 mL of Chaya beverage per day over a 6-week period. Interestingly, we observed a significant decrease in serum triglyceride concentration (P < 0.05) and an increase in plasma antioxidant activity and polyphenol concentration (P < 0.005) after 6 weeks of Chaya consumption. This was accompanied by a reduction in the oxidative stress marker MDA (P < 0.0001) and by an increase in the antioxidant enzyme CAT expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (P < 0.001). Altogether, our results demonstrate that consumption of Chaya has hypotriglyceridemic and antioxidant effects in subjects with dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Acanthopanax trifoliatus (L.) Merr (AT) is a medicinal and edible plant with high nutritional value. The biological activity of A. trifoliatus (L.) Merr and its basis for injury treatment are explored in this paper. AT was ethanol-extracted then refined separately with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. Active ingredients were analyzed, and anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and hemostatic effects were explored. Petroleum ether layer (PEL) extract produced the strongest antibacterial effect. Ethyl acetate layer (EAL) extract had the highest active substance content, with strong hemostatic and analgesic activities. Chloroform layer (CL) extract had the strongest anti-inflammatory effect and significantly reduced IL-1β protein expression. Active ingredients were analyzed using HPLC and UPLC-MS to determine saponin, polyphenol, flavonoid, and characteristic ingredient contents. EAL extract had the highest polyphenol and flavonoid levels, including rutin, chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid A, and isochlorogenic acid C, which may contribute to its nutritional activities. The study provides a reliable theoretical and practical basis for the applications of AT nutraceutical products.

Abstract
Objective Chaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) leaf has been found to be an important source of protein, vitamins, minerals, as well as phytonutrients. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Chaya leaf pellet (CHYP) with various level of crude protein (CP) in the concentrate on rumen fermentation characteristics and nutrient degradability in in vitro gas production technique. Methods In an in vitro rumen fermentation study the dietary treatments were arranged according to a 3×5 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design, consisting of Factor A: three levels of CP of concentrate mixtures (14%, 16%, and 18% CP, respectively) and Factor B: five levels of CHYP supplementation (at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% of dry matter substrates). Results The gas production kinetics, fraction (a) and fraction (b) were lower (p<0.05) with an increasing CHYP addition. Additionally, the fraction (a+b) was found to yield a significant interaction (p<0.05) while the fraction (c) was not impacted by CHYP addition. However, in vitro DM degradability was enhanced and interactive (p<0.05), using 16% CP of concentrate with 6% and 8% CHYP, when compared with 18% CP in the non-addition. Additionally, the treatment with higher CP of the concentrate was higher in NH3-N concentration (p<0.001) and by CHYP supplementation group (p<0.05). Nevertheless, protozoal counts in the rumen were remarkably decreased (p<0.05) with increasing level of CHYP supplementation. Furthermore, rumen C2 concentration was lower (p<0.05) in the treatments with CHYP supplementation, while C3 was significantly increased and interactive (p<0.05) between levels of CP and CHYP supplementation especially at 8% CHYP supplementation. Conclusion Based on this study, the results revealed CHYP as a promising feed supplement to enhance rumen fermentation and to mitigate methane production. However, in vivo feeding experiments should be subsequently conducted to elucidate the effect of CHYP supplementation on rumen fermentation, as well as ruminant production efficiency.

Abstract
The lack of prevention of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) has caused an increase in the mortality rate including conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and liver disease (LD). The high complexity of CKD and LD results in alterations in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. One of the changes observed in CKD and LD is the decrease in albumin, elevation of PO4-3, K+, creatinine, urea, and transaminase enzymes. The pharmacological treatment is expensive. Nowadays, phytotherapy is an option to treat NCDs. Aqueous, ethanolic, methanolic, and ethyl acetate extracts of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius have shown nephroprotective and hepatoprotective potential and can be an alternative to prevent and treat CKD and LD. C. aconitifolius, known as Chaya by Mayas in Yucatán, is a shrub that is consumed in Mexico and in the world, has a low cost, it is very accessible, and can growth in extreme weather. The aim of this review is to show the potential biological effects of C. aconitifolius extracts, and the association of the phytochemicals in the extract. It is known that different solvents result in the uptake of different phytochemicals. These have shown various effects such as hypoglycemic, hypotensive, hypolipidemic, and antioxidant, being a natural alternative to the treatment of NCDs.Key teaching pointsPhytotherapy is a proposal to treat NCDs.Cnidoscolus aconitifolius extracts have a hypotensive effect.Cnidoscolus aconitifolius extracts reduce blood sugar in diabetic rats.Chaya extracts are no toxic for renal and hepatic cells.

Abstract
The genus Cnidoscolus (Euphorbiaceae) is widely distributed in tropical areas. In the Northeast of Brazil, the species C. quercifolius is endemic and has been used in traditional medicine. In this study, a novel protein was isolated from C. quercifolius seeds and characterized by its molecular weight, primary structure, isoelectric point (pI), and carbohydrate content. The hypoglycemic activity of this protein was investigated by in vitro assay with the RIN-5F glucose-responsive cell line and in vivo test using alloxan-induced diabetic mice models. In addition, safe use of the protein was also investigated by cytotoxicity, hemagglutinating, and immunogenicity assays. The protein which was named Cq-IMP (Cnidoscolus quercifolius - Insulin Mimetic Protein) showed a single 11.18 KDa glycopolypeptide chain (16.4% of carbohydrates, m/m), pI of 8.0 and N-terminal sequence (TKDPELKQcKKQQKKqQQYDDDDKK) with similarity around 46-62% to sucrose binding protein-like and vicilin-like protein that was confirmed by mass spectrometry tryptic peptides analysis. Besides that, Cq-IMP presented anti-insulin antibody cross-reactivity as hypoglycemic activity in both in vitro and in vivo models. Additionally, it did not present any toxicity by methods tested. In conclusion, Cq-IMP is an insulin-mimetic protein, with a potent hypoglycemic activity and no toxicity showing great potential for therapeutic applications and drug development.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of the aerial parts of Cnidoscolus spinosus resulted in the isolation of relatively infrequent hopane-type triterpenes, 3β-acetoxy-hop-22(29)-ene (1), first reported here as natural product, together with 3-oxo-hop-22(29)-ene (2), and 3β-hydroxy-hop-22(29)-ene (3). β-Amyrin palmitate and three phytosterols were also characterized. The structures of the compounds were established using spectroscopic methods, and those of 1 and 2 were confirmed by crystallographic analysis. Selected biological activities for the isolated hopane-type triterpenes were tested through a series of assays for determining the cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, α-glucosidase inhibition and antiparasitic activities. Compounds 1-3 did not show cytotoxic activity, compound 1 displayed an important inhibitory effect in the mouse ear induced inflammation assay, and significantly inhibited the yeast α-glucosidase activity in vitro and in silico. Additionally, compounds 2 and 3 showed marginal activities against Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania mexicana. Therefore, the bioactivities of hopane-type triterpenes deserve further investigation, particularly their anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract
Introduction Introduction: noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the main cause of death worldwide. Secondary metabolites from plant sources such as Cnidoscolus aconitifolius may be used as adjuvants in the prevention of diseases related to oxidative stress and inflammation such as NCDs. Objective: the in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities associated with biologically active compounds in C. aconitifolius extracts were evaluated. Method: the contents of phenols, flavonoids, flavonones and hydroflavonoles were determined. The potential antioxidant activity was determined with 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity. For anti-inflammatory activity quantitative PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests were used in macrophages derived from THP-1 monocytes and stimulated with LPS. Results: the aqueous extract recorded the highest phenolic content (70.61 0.07 g/100 g of extract), and the ethanolic extract registered the highest content in flavonoids (47.76 4.84 g/100 g of extract), flavonones and dihydroflavonoles (70.10 7.29 g/100 g of extract). The acetone extract obtained the highest DPPH inhibition (49.85 ± 5.30%), while the ethanolic extract showed the highest ABTS inhibition (41.01 ± 3.81%). The etanolic and aqueous extracts had the highest ACE inhibition. The ethanolic extract had the highest anti-inflammatory activity, decreasing gene expression for TNF- by 39.78% and for IL-6 by 97.81%, and their production by 46% and 48.38%, respectively, in macrophages stimulated with LPS. Conclusion: these extracts demonstrated in vitro their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential due to their content of bioactive compounds.

In vivo anti-arthritic effect and repeated dose toxicity of standardized methanolic extracts of Buddleja cordata Kunth (Scrophulariaceae) wild plant leaves and cell culture. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2019; 240:111875. [PMID: 31034952 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2019.111875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2018] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/09/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Buddleja cordata Humb. Bonpl. & Kunth, known by the population as Tepozán blanco, is a shrub plant used in traditional herbal medicine in Mexico for the treatment of tumors, cancer, sores, skin burns, rheumatic pains and diseases related to inflammatory processes such as arthritis; authors adjudicate this etno-medicinal effect to the presence of secondary metabolites in the plant such as verbascoside, however due to its low concentration in recent years biotechnological tools are applied as cell culture to biosynthesize these pharmacological active metabolites in greater quantities. AIM OF THE STUDY Evaluate the possible toxic effect after a daily administration of MeOH extracts from wild plant leaves (Bc-Wp), and cell culture (Bc-Cc) of B. cordata for 28 days, and after their anti-edematous and antioxidant activities in vivo, as well their effect on the cytokines profile during experimental arthritis induced by complete Freund's adjuvant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Both extracts were evaluated in CD1 male mice first in a toxicity test of repeated dose administrations (1 g/kg) for 28 days, after which pharmacological activity of both extracts was measure during experimental induced arthritis where three doses were tested, at the end of the study edema formation, body weight gain and antioxidant activity were measure in edema and ganglionic tissues. Finally, dose that exerted the best protective effect (250 mg/kg) was evaluated to quantify its effect over ganglionic tissue concentration of lymphocytes T CD4+, and cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-10), as well histological analysis in arthritic mice. RESULTS Both extracts (Bc-Wp and Bc-Cc) did not exert lethality, however body weight gain and food in-take were lower than in healthy mice administered with vehicles, also extract-treated animals showed a decrease in serum lipid concentration and only Bc-Wp extract treated animals decrease serum alkaline phosphatase after 28 daily administration compared to healthy un-treated mice. During experimental arthritis best inhibition effect over edema development was observed in those animals administered with both extracts at dose of 250 mg/kg (Bc-Wp and Bc-Cc) on day 28, compared to CFA un-treated mice. Also both extracts reduce oxidative damage over lipids and proteins at the same dose, in both ganglionic and edema tissue, as well antioxidant enzymatic response was reduced in both tissues compared to arthritic un-treated group. In ganglionic tissue of arthritic mice, CD4+ lymphocytes concentration was reduced by Bc-Wp and Bc-Cc treatment (250 mg/kg) respectively, as well IL-1β, and TNF-α levels. Only arthritic animals treated with Bc-Cc extract at 250 mg/kg generated a significant increase of IL-10 doubling the levels compared to CFA un-treated group. Histological analysis of popliteal ganglion showed that both extracts decrease the incidence of lytic lesions, lipid inclusions and leukocyte infiltration. CONCLUSION Methanolic extracts of wild Buddleja cordata and its cell cultures did not generated lethality after a daily administration for 28 days at 1 g/kg, but it was observed that both showed a lipid-lowering effect. Also at dose of 250 mg/kg both extracts exerted anti-edematous, protection against the oxidation of lipid and proteins, regulation on antioxidant enzymatic response, down-regulation on lymphocytes CD4+ producers of IL-1β and TNF-α, an increase in IL-10 levels, which caused a decrease in leukocyte infiltration in ganglionic tissue during experimental arthritis.

Abstract
Previously non-isolated compounds (scopoletin and β-D-Glucopyranoside, (1R)-O-isopropyl 6-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl)-2,3,4-triacetate) were isolated from an organic extract of the Cnidoscolus chayamansa stem. Also, lupeol acetate (main compound, 49.7 mg/g of dry extract) and scopoletin (0.19 mg/g of dry extract) were quantified by HPLC analysis from this organic extract. The protective activity of the C. chayamansa organic extract against hepatotoxicity induced by antitubercular drugs [Rifampicin (50 mg/kg), Isoniazid (50 mg/kg), and Pyrazinamide (100 mg/kg)] are reported. The extract was tested at 200 and 400 mg/kg in Balb/C mice during 85 days, using silymarin (2.5 mg/kg) as positive control. Liver damage was determined using biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, ALP, CHOL, HDL TG, Urea, and CREA), histological analysis, and evaluation of oxidative stress (SOD, CAT, Gpx, Lpx and POx). The extract at both doses favored body weight gain with respect to the anti-TB group; the dose of 200 mg/kg was better. Also, the extract at both doses decreased the values of transaminases (AST, ALT) enzymes (p < 0.05) vs. anti-TB group. In oxidative stress parameters, the SOD value was decreased, as were the levels of peroxidation of lipids and oxidative protein in the group with C. chayamansa extract at 200 and 400 mg/kg vs. the anti-TB group. Histological analyses from liver showed the absence of steatosis in the extract group at 400 mg/kg, and moderate steatosis in the silymarin and extract (at 200 mg/kg) groups with respect to anti-TB group, which demonstrated a steatosis. It should be noted that during the study period, none of the treated mice died. In conclusion, the CHCl3: MeOH extract of C. chayamansa has a hepatoprotective effect against hepatotoxicity induced by anti-TB drugs.

Abstract
The application of medicinal plants are the most important biotechnological alternative in the treatment of numerous diseases, especially in developing countries, such as Brazil. Among them, we specified some specimens of the genus Cnidoscolus used as phytotherapies, with healing properties, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and diuretic, anticancer, among others. Such effects are possibly associated with the presence of terpenoids, alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids phenolic compounds, among others. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate in the literature the studies on the phytochemical, ethnopharmacological and biotechnological applications of this genus, from 1998 to 2017. Among the sixty-one studies reported in this review, ten species are popularly utilized to pharmacological and/or biotechnological applications. Cnidoscolus aconitifolius and Cnidoscolus chayamansa are the most cited species, which were also supported by either animal or cellular investigations indicating some beneficial pharmacological actions like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and potential cytotoxic activity. The plant parts of this genus under study are important as sources for the isolation and identification of bioactive molecules with biotechnological applications, among the many diseases treated with this phytotherapy. Given these verdicts, ethnopharmacological approaches are significant systematic tools in the determination of plant species that exhibit medicinal and nutritional purposes. The results presented here should further stimulate the development of validation studies to ensure the safe and effective use of these plant species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cnidoscolus is a genus belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family, distributed in South American countries, such as Mexico and Brazil, which includes several species widely used in folk medicine. However, the genus is not sufficiently exploited from a chemical and pharmacological point of view. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE This paper aims to present a systematic review of known pharmacological and chemical aspects from Cnidoscolus, an important genus for South America research groups on medicinal plants. In this article, we highlight the importance of Cnidoscolus species in the search for new bioactive molecules. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review was conducted in order to collect chemical and pharmacological information on species of this genus in the last 25 years. METHODS Literature search was performed through specialized databases (PUBMED, LILACS, SCIELO, Science Direct and Web of Science) using different combinations of the following keywords: Cnidoscolus, phytochemistry, pharmacological activity. For the selection of the manuscripts, two independent investigators (RGOJ and CAAF) first selected the articles according to the title, then to the abstract and finally through an analysis of the full-text publication. All selected manuscripts were analyzed for year of publication, country where the research was performed, reported plant species, isolated chemical compounds and evaluated biological activities. RESULTS Most of the studies involving Cnidoscolus were conducted by research groups located in Brazil, Nigeria and Mexico. Regarding the annual evolution of the publications, a larger number of articles published in 2014 were observed. Flavonoids, triterpenes and diterpenes represent the main classes of secondary metabolites that have been isolated from Cnidoscolus. In terms of the pharmacological investigations, C. aconitifolius, C. chayamansa and C. quercifolius are considered the most studied species, with different pharmacological activities. CONCLUSION All findings indicate that Cnidoscolus is an important genus of the Euphorbiaceae family. However, considering its chemical and pharmacological importance, the studies developed with Cnidoscolus species are still limited, representing an opportunity to investigate new bioactive molecules.

Hepatoprotective and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of the Cnidoscolus chayamansa (Mc Vaugh) Leaf Extract in Chronic Models. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2018; 2018:3896517. [PMID: 30147729 PMCID: PMC6083640 DOI: 10.1155/2018/3896517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2018] [Revised: 04/11/2018] [Accepted: 06/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Previous report described that CHCl3:MeOH extract of C. chayamansa leaves and pure compounds (moretenol, moretenyl acetate, kaempferol-3,7-dimethyl ether, and 5-hydroxy-7-3',4'-trimethoxyflavanone) showed important topical and systemic anti-inflammatory activity in acute model, as well as in vitro antimycobacterial and antiprotozoal activities. In this paper, we describe the in vivo hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of the CHCl3:MeOH extract in chronic model and the isolation of additional compounds (moretenone and lupeol acetate). The hepatoprotective activity was determined at 39 days using Balb/c mice with liver damage induced with an antitubercular drug (RIF/INH/PZA). The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in a chronic model induced with CFA and in two acute models (TPA and carrageenan). In addition, moretenone and lupeol acetate were isolated and identified by spectroscopic data. Lupeol acetate is a main compound present in fractions 14-42, and this fraction was the majority fraction from the extract; from this moretenone was obtained. In animals with liver damage, the extract at 200 and 400 mg/kg induced better body weight gain with respect to positive control (Silymarin); in addition, the mice that received the extract at 200 mg/kg and Silymarin exhibited slight steatosis; however, the animals' livers at 400 mg/kg did not show steatosis. The extract and fractions 14-42 showed a good anti-inflammatory activity by TPA model (DE50 = 1.58 and 1.48 mg/ear) and by carrageenan model (DE50 = 351.53 and 50.11 mg/kg). In the chronic inflammatory test, the extract at three doses revealed a similar effect to that of phenylbutazone, although the body weight gain was better in animals that received the extract at 900 mg/kg. Conclusion. The CHCl3:MeOH extract showed significant anti-inflammatory and good hepatoprotective effect on chronic models. The fraction containing moretenone and lupeol acetate as main compounds was more active than extract in both acute models of inflammation.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men around the world. It is a complex and heterogeneous disease in which androgens and their receptors play a crucial role in the progression and development. The current treatment for prostate cancer is a combination of surgery, hormone therapy, radiation and chemotherapy. Therapeutic agents commonly used in the clinic include steroidal and non-steroidal anti-androgens, such as cyproterone acetate, bicalutamide and enzalutamide. These few agents have multiple adverse effects and are not 100% effective. Several plant compounds and mixtures, including grape seed polyphenol extracts, lycopene and tomato preparations, soy isoflavones, and green tea extracts, have been shown to be effective against prostate cancer cell growth. In vivo activity of some isolated compounds like capsaicin and curcumin was reported in prostate cancer murine models. We prepared a library of plant extracts from traditional Mayan medicine. These plants were selected for their use in the contemporaneous Mayan communities for the treatment of different diseases. The extracts were assessed in a phenotypic screening using LNCaP prostate cancer androgen sensitive cell line, with a fixed dose of 25 μg/mL. MTT assay identified seven out of ten plants with interesting anti-neoplastic activity. Extracts from these plants were subjected to a bioguided fractionation to study their major components. We identified three compounds with anti-neoplastic effects against LNCaP cells, one of which shows selectivity for neoplastic compared to benign cells.

Abstract
"Quelites" are edible plants that are part of the traditional agro-ecosystems in Mexico. These plants, despite their already known nutritional properties, are now considered neglected and underutilized species. With the objective of promoting their reinsertion in the markets and mainly, in daily diets, efforts have been made to study them from multidisciplinary approaches to demonstrate their beneficial properties. To generate evidence of an added health-promoting value that would encourage quelites consumption, in the present work, the anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of three representative quelite species, Anoda cristata (Alache), Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Chaya), and Crotalaria pumila (Chepil), was tested. H. pylori is considered the etiological agent of gastritis, ulcer, and gastric cancer, and represents a public health problem in Mexico and worldwide. Aqueous (AQ) and dichloromethane-methanol (DM) extracts were obtained from the three species of quelites to investigate their effect on H. pylori growth and on two of its colonization factors (adherence and urease activity). DM extracts from Chaya, Chepil, and Alache exert the best inhibitory effect on bacterial growth, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 62.5, 125, and 250 μg/mL, respectively. AQ and DM extracts inhibit bacterial adhesion by 30% to 50%. None of them has an effect on urease activity. The two flavonoids present in A. cristata, acacetin and diosmetin, inhibit H. pylori growth by ∼90% with 3.9 μg/mL. These results provide new information about the anti-H. pylori potential of three edible quelites, and give an added value, since their routine consumption may impact on the prevention and/or control of H. pylori-associated diseases.

Abstract
The consumption of medicinal plants has notably increased over the past two decades. People consider herbal products as safe because of their natural origin, without taking into consideration whether these plants contain a toxic principle. This represents a serious health problem. A bibliographic search was carried out using published scientific material on native plants from Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, which describe the ethnobotanical and toxicological information of medicinal plants empirically considered to be toxic. A total of 216 medicinal plants belonging to 77 families have been reported as toxic. Of these plants, 76 had been studied, and 140 plants lacked studies regarding their toxicological effects. The toxicity of 16 plants species has been reported in clinical cases, particularly in children. From these plants, deaths have been reported with the consumption of Chenopodium ambrosioides, Argemone mexicana, and Thevetia peruviana. In most of the cases, the principle of the plant responsible for the toxicity is unknown. There is limited information about the toxicity of medicinal plants used in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. More toxicological studies are necessary to contribute information about the safe use of the medicinal plants cited in this review.

Abstract
Cnidoscolus chayamansa is a medicinal and edible plant known as Chaya, is commonly used as an anti-inflammatory, antiprotozoal, antibacterial agent and as a remedy for respiratory illness, gastrointestinal disorders, and vaginal infections related with the inflammation process. In this paper, we describe the plant's phytochemical analysis and biological activities (antimycobacterial, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, and anti-inflammatory properties) of the CHCl3:MeOH (1:1) leaves extract and isolated compounds, as well as the acute and sub-acute toxic effects. Chemical identification of isolated compounds was performed by 1H- and 13C NMR spectra data. In vitro antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities were determined by disc diffusion and MABA assays, respectively; antiprotozoal test by means of the sub-culture test. Topical and systemic anti-inflammatory effects were tested by TPA and carrageenan assay on BALB/c mice. Moretenol, moretenyl acetate, kaempferol-3,7-dimethyl ether, and 5-hydroxy-7-3',4'-trimethoxyflavanone were the main compounds isolated. The CHCl3:MeOH extract showed antiprotozoal (IC50≤65.29μg/mL), antimycobacterial (MIC≤50μg/mL), and anti-inflammatory activities (ED50=1.66mg/ear and 467.73mg/kg), but was inactive against the bacterial strains tested. The LD50 for extract was >2g/kg. In the sub-acute toxicity test, the extract was administered at 1g/kg for 28days and did not cause lethality or any alteration in hematological and biochemical parameters; in addition, liver, kidney, and spleen histological analysis exhibited no structural changes. Moretenol and moretenyl acetate showed MIC=25μg/mL against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and against four monoresistant strains of M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Both compounds exhibited moderate activity against Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia (IC50≤71.70μg/mL). Kaempferol-3,7-dimethyl ether and 5-hydroxy-7-3',4'-trimethoxy-flavanone were more active than the extract against E. histolytica and G. lamblia, showing IC50 ≤27.43μg/mL. As topical anti-inflammatory agents, moretenol and kaempferol-3,7-dimethyl ether were the most active compounds inhibiting the edema in 30.52 and 26.67%, respectively. Moretenol and moretenyl acetate showed significant antimycobacterial and antiprotozoal activities; in addition, important antiprotozoal effect was detected with kaempferol-3,7-dimethyl ether and 5-hydroxy-7-3',4'-trimethoxyflavanone. The extract and the terpenoids possess good anti-inflammatory activity. The extract did not produce lethality or adverse effects in acute and sub-acute tests.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medicinal plants have been used in patients with congestive heart failure, systolic hypertension, angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, cerebral insufficiency, venous insufficiency and arrhythmia since centuries. A recent increase in the popularity of alternative medicine and natural products has revived interest in traditional remedies that have been used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. AIM The purpose of this review is to provide updated, comprehensive and categorized information on the history and traditional uses of some herbal medicines that affect the cardiovascular system in order to explore their therapeutic potential and evaluate future research opportunities. METHODS Systematic literature searches were carried out and the available information on various medicinal plants traditionally used for cardiovascular disorders was collected via electronic search (using Pubmed, SciFinder, Scirus, GoogleScholar, JCCC@INSTIRC and Web of Science) and a library search for articles published in peer-reviewed journals. No restrictions regarding the language of publication were imposed. RESULTS This article highlights the cardiovascular effects of four potent traditional botanicals viz. Garlic (Allium sativum), Guggul (Commiphora wightii), Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) and Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna). Although these plants have been used in the treatment of heart disease for hundreds of years, current research methods show us they can be utilized effectively in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases including ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and hypertension. CONCLUSION Although the mechanisms of action are not very clear, there is enough evidence of their efficacy in various cardiovascular disorders. However, for bringing more objectivity and also to confirm traditional claims, more systematic, well-designed animal and randomized clinical studies with sufficient sample sizes are necessary. Multidisciplinary research is still required to exploit the vast potential of these plants. Potential synergistic and adverse side effects of herb-drug interactions also need to be studied. These approaches will help in establishing them as remedies for cardiovascular diseases and including them in the mainstream of healthcare system.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Moussonia deppeana, known as Tlachichinole, is a Mexican medicinal plant used for treatment of inflammatory diseases, influenza, diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorders and arthritis. AIM OF THE STUDY In this paper the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities as well as the acute and sub-acute toxicological effects were evaluated for the ethanolic extract from aerial parts of M. deppeana, also its phytochemical analysis is described. MATERIALS AND METHODS Phytochemical analysis and compound isolation were performed with thin layer chromatography. The chemical identification of the main compound was performed by (1)H NMR (COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC) spectra. In vitro antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content for the ethanolic extract and its primary fractions was determined by DPPH and Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Acute and subacute toxicity tests were evaluated on Balb/C mice. Finally acute anti-inflammatory evaluation was tested for a local (TPA) and systemic (carrageenan) murine model. RESULTS The main compound isolated from the ethanolic extract of M. deppeana was Verbascoside, which was isolated from F3 and was identified by (1)H NMR and COSY data. Furthermore oleanolic and ursolic acids were isolated from primary fractions F1 and F2. Ethanolic extract showed IC50 = 6.71mg/mL for DPPH test and 664.12µg QE/mL for the total phenolic content. The LD50 value was >2g/kg by i.g. route in male and female mice. Sub-acute administration (28 days) of the ethanolic extract (1g/kg) did not cause lethality or alter any hematological and biochemical parameters, in addition, histological analysis of the major organs exhibited no structural changes. Anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanolic extract showed an ED50 = 1.5mg/ear and 450mg/kg for TPA and carrageenan test, respectively. Primary fractions generated moderate local and systemic anti-inflammatory activity. CONCLUSION The ethanolic extract from the aerial parts of M. deppeana did not cause any lethality or adverse effect in either of the acute and sub-acute toxicity tests. This exhibited an important local and systemic anti-inflammatory activity and also moderate antioxidant capacity. Moreover, the primary fraction F2 was more active for the TPA model while the primary fraction F3 was most active in the carrageenan model in vivo. The main compound isolated from F3 was verbascoside; on the other hand also ursolic and oleanolic acids were isolated from F1 and F2.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The leaves and stems bark of Memora nodosa (Silva Manso) Miers (Bignoniaceae) are used in Brazilian traditional medicine in the treatment of external ulcers and wounds; its roots are used to treat abdominal pain and scabies. AIM OF THE STUDY Our aim was to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of Memora nodosa roots ethanolic extract (EMN) and allantoin, a secondary metabolite isolated from this plant. MATERIALS AND METHODS The EMN and allantoin antinociceptive activity were evaluated in mice using both chemical and heat-induced pain models such as acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin and tail-flick tests. In the formalin test, a pre-treatment with naloxone was used to verify an involvement of opioid receptor in the antinociceptive effect of EMN and allantoin. Pre-treatment with glibenclemide was used to verity an involvement of ATP-sensitive K(+)channel in the allantoin antinociceptive effect. EMN and allantoin anti-inflammatory activity were assessed by carrageenan-induced paw edema and pleurisy tests. RESULTS The treatment with EMN (250, 500 and 1000mg/kg, p.o.) inhibit the acetic acid and formalin (both phases)-induced nociception. However, just at doses 500 and 1000mg/kg increased the latency time in tail-flick test. These results suggest the involvement of both peripheral and central antinociceptive mechanisms. The treatment with allantoin (40, 60 and 80mg/kg p.o.) produced a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect in both phases of formalin-induced nociception test; allantoin (60mg/kg) was not able to increase the latency time in tail flick-test. The pre-treatment with naloxone completely reversed the EMN (1000mg/kg) and allantoin (60mg/kg) effect in the first phase of formalin test; and glibenclamide reversed the allantoin effect. The administration of EMN (250, 500 and 1000mg/kg) and allantoin (60mg/kg) showed significant anti-inflammatory activity in the whole carrageenan-induced paw edema. Furthermore, EMN and allantoin reduced the leukocytes migration and pleural exudate to the pleural cavity. CONCLUSION EMN have significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects, which appear to be, at least in part, due to the presence of allantoin. However, allantoin is not responsible for the EMN central antinociceptive activity. Allantoin has peripheral antinociceptive activity that involves the opioid receptor and ATP-sensitive K(+)channels. Opioid receptors are also involved in the EMN antinociceptive activity. These findings support the use of Memora nodosa in popular medicine and demonstrate that this plant has therapeutic potential for the development of antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory phytomedicines.

Abstract
Teucrium arduini L., an Ilyric-Balcanic endemic species, has been reported for decades as a valuable plant used in traditional medicine for treating digestive disorders. The present study evaluated genetic and phytochemical variability of six T. arduini populations in order to determine factors that influence an accumulation of polyphenolic compounds. Results strongly suggest that a phytochemical variation was caused by environmental rather than genetic factors. T. arduini leaf extract from the locality Učka, which accumulated significantly more polyphenolic phytochemicals in comparison to others, showed antioxidant activity in DNA and lipid bioassays. Furthermore, the same extract exhibited prooxidant behaviour at protein level and induce formation of reactive oxygen species in human laryngeal carcinoma cells causing cytotoxic activity, in a dose dependent manner. All the results of the present study suggested that T. arduini extract could be responsible for antioxidative/prooxidative mechanisms and would help in determination of optimal conditions for their ethnopharmacological use.
