“…These three biomes host numerous plant and animal species threatened by extinction, and are affected by damage caused by anthropogenic action. As the pressure to open new areas is increasing, in order to increase meat and grain production for export, the natural resources of these regions are progressively depleted, in addition to the predatory exploitation of the region-specific plant germplasm (Skorupa & Assis 1998). Note: Different letters in a same populations indicate statistically significant differences (P <0.05 by the Scott-Knott test).…”

Risk of genetic vulnerability and aspects of the reproductive biology of Psychotria ipecacuanha (Rubiaceae), a threatened medicinal plant species of Brazilian forests

et al. 2019

Psychotria ipecacuanha, commonly known as Ipeca, is a medicinal plant of pharmacological and economic value. The species is distylous; it has populations with two floral morphs, one with long and one with short styles. Apart from the presence of two floral morphs in a balanced ratio (1:1), reciprocal herkogamy of the reproductive organs between alternative morphs is desirable to maintain cross-pollination. The risk factors for genetic erosion and conditions for sexual reproduction in natural populations of P. ipecacuanha were investigated. The main risks for genetic erosion in four populations studied were: habitat change in the forest fragment where they occurred and in the surrounding area over the last 20 years; proximity to agricultural areas; frequency of drought affecting the forest fragment; and the area occupied by the species within the forest fragment. All evaluated populations were isoplethic with the reciprocity of reproductive organs varying across populations. Anthropogenic factors, associated with morphological and reproductive characteristics (e.g., low reciprocity between anther and stigma and low pollen production), indicate risks for the maintenance and reproduction of Ipeca in the population of the municipality of Denise. Habitat loss, small clusters, and the low number of reproductive plants jeopardize the survival of the studied populations.

Background: Carapichea ipecacuanha (Brot.) L. Andersson is the botanical source of Ipecac drug and contains major alkaloids emetine, cephaline that are pharmaceutically used against bronchitis associated with cough in children, severe diarrhea (amoebic dysentery) and also cancer. Ipecac serves as an expectorant to thin mucous and easy coughing. Low doses are used to enhance appetite and it is administered orally to cause vomiting after suspected poisoning. Materials and Methods: The review highlights the taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution, medicinal uses and major pharmacological activities including side effects of Ipecac drug reported in recent years consulting various published papers dealing with Ipecac. Results and Conclusion: The species is rarely distributed due to disturbances in their habitats in natural growing condition. Further studies are required to scientifically evaluate the traditional uses of this plant through extraction and identification of their active ingredients and the mechanisms and mode of action that would serve as a source of collective information on this plant.
