Flavonoides de trece especies del género Bursera con potencial antioxidante Flavonoids of thirteen species of Bursera genus with antioxidant potential

Abstract

sources, herbarium work, and the author´s own observations, 41 taxa belonging to 12 genera and 37 species; four at level of genus were recognized. 461 records indicated that Lantana camara, Verbena carolina, Phyla scaberrima, and Lippia graveolens are the most cited species. 198 popular names were recognized, being Lantana camara the species with the highest number of denominations. The knowledge of the medicinal use of Verbenaceae comes mainly from researches carried out in the central area of the country. Recorded pathologies were organized in 16 categories; illness of the digestive system are emphasized, female reproductive system, skeletal muscle system, and culture-bound syndromes. This is supported by the similarity analysis concentrating in a large set to 92% of the species to treat diseases of the digestive system and include in this set to other groups of species related to system and diseases mentioned. Phenetic analysis also separates two other sets of species to treat skin diseases and urinary tract. Only six species are in the process of being included in the Herbal Pharmacopoeia of the United Mexican States (FHEUM). This information will be useful for other species Verbenaceae are incorporated into the Mexican Herbal Pharmacopoeia.

Cinco especies vegetales antiinflamatorias del Libellus de Medicinalibus Indorum Herbis de México, 1552: Una revisión botánica, química y farmacológica

“…Se ha encontrado que el extracto H 2 O-MeOH (2:8) contiene flavonoides mediante los reactivos de ácido 2-amino-etil éster difenilbórico 1% m/v en metanol (RPN) y polietilenglicol 4000 (PEG) al 5% en metanol, pero no se identificaron. Este extracto presentó actividad antioxidante en el modelo de DPPH a 10 ppm (Guevara-Fefer, 2017).…”

Biological activity and flavonoid profile of five species of the Bursera genus

“…Furthermore, in B. simaruba, the flavonoids luteolin, apigenin and kaempferol have been identified, these being three flavonoids with recognized strong antioxidant properties (Bah et al 2014). In a recent work, six flavonoids have been reported in organic polar extracts of thirteen Bursera species, quercetin, rutin, naringenin, naringin, apigenin and apiin (Guevara-Fefer et al 2017), the aerial parts of B. grandifolia have a high phenolic content and free radical scavenging activities (Ruiz-Terán et al 2008). It has known that flavonoids participate in the defense mechanism of the plants protecting them against herbivorous organisms, phytopathogenic insects, bacteria and fungus pathogenic (Marcotullio et al 2018).…”
