Abstract:Introduction: species of the genus Smilax are a vital source of potentially useful compounds that may be effective as nephroprotective agents, but there is little scientific evidence to support such claims.Objective: to analyze the chemical composition and nephroprotective activity of hydroalcoholic extracts of leaves and rhizomes of Smilax purhampuy. Methods: hydroalcoholic extracts were elaborated by maceration and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicit… Show more
