“…(Julianaceae), local name Cuachalalate, is the most important anti-ulcer remedy in Mexican traditional medicine (Navarrete et al 1990). Extensive studies published on the chemistry of this medicinal plant (Domı´nguez et al 1983;Soriano-Garcı´a et al 1987;Watson et al 1987;Navarrete et al 1989;Mata et al 1991;Mata 1993;Pe´rez et al 1993;Olivera et al 1999;Makino et al 2004) have demonstrated two types of major components -triterpenoids and long-chain phenols. The gastroprotective effect of this medicinal plant has been very well demonstrated in animal models (Navarrete et al 1990(Navarrete et al , 1998.…”

This work aimed to study the effect of Cuachalalate methanol extract (CME) on the anti-inflammatory activity and pharmacokinetics of diclofenac sodium, a frequently prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The gastroprotective effect of CME on the gastric injury induced by diclofenac was studied in rats. CME showed a gastroprotective effect of 15.7% at 1 mg kg(-1) and 72.5% at dose of 300 mg kg(-1). Omeprazole, used as anti-ulcer reference drug, showed gastroprotective effects of 50-89.7% at doses tested (1-30 mg kg(-1)). The value of the 50% effective dose for the anti-inflammatory effect of diclofenac sodium (ED50 = 1.14 +/- 0.23 mg kg(-1)) using carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema model, was not modified by the concomitant administration of 30 or 100 mg kg(-1) of CME. The effect of CME (30, 100 and 300 mg kg(-1), p.o.) on the pharmacokinetics of diclofenac sodium was studied. It was observed that the simultaneous administration of diclofenac sodium and 300 mg kg(-1) of CME decreased significantly the values of Cmax (7.08 +/- 1.42 microg mL(-1)) and AUC (12.67 +/- 2.97 microg h mL(-1)), but not the value of tmax (0.13 (0.1-0.25)h) obtained with the administration of diclofenac alone. The simultaneous administration of 30 or 100 mg kg(-1) of CME did not modify the pharmacokinetic parameters of diclofenac. The experimental findings in rats suggest that CME at doses lower than 100 mg kg(-1) protects the gastric mucosa from the damage induced by diclofenac sodium without altering either the anti-inflammatory activity or the pharmacokinetics of this NSAID.

“…One of the leading traditional uses of the stem bark is due to its gastroprotective and antiulcer properties [56,57]. In this regard, it was reported that oral administration (3 times every 24 h for 5 days) of the aqueous extract (4 and 8% weight/volume) reduced death and perforation of the duodenum induced by indomethacin and histamine in Wistar rats [58].…”

Diseases, such as cancer, peptic ulcers, and diabetes, as well as those caused by drug-resistant infectious agents are examples of some of the world’s major public health problems. Amphipterygium adstringens (Schltdl.) Schiede ex Standl is an endemic tree to Mexico. Its stem bark has been used medicinally since pre-Hispanic times, but in recent decades it has been scientifically proven that it has properties that help counteract some diseases; extracts with organic solvents of the plant are outstanding for their anticancer, gastroprotective, and antimicrobial properties; terpenes and long-chain phenols have been identified as the main active compounds. Currently, overharvesting is causing a sharp reduction in natural populations due to an increase in demand for the stem bark by people seeking to improve their health and by national and transnational companies seeking to market it. Because of the growing interest of the world population and the scientific community, we reviewed recent studies on the bioactive properties of A. adstringens. Through the orderly and critical compendium of the current knowledge of A. adstringens, we provide a reference for future studies aimed at the rational use and protection of this valuable endemic natural resource.
