“…Water extract of C. sylvestris leaves shows great inhibitory effects on the toxic, enzymatic, hemorrhagic and anticoagulant activities exhibited by various venoms, particularly against those belonging to the PLA 2 I (Phospholipase A 2 ) (Elapidae Family), II (Viperidae Family) e III (bee) types (Borges et al 2000(Borges et al , 2001.…”

“…The PLA 2 enzyme activity of CTX is critical for blockage of signal transmission at the endplate. The C. sylvestris antiophidian property seems to be related to the capacity of PLA 2 inhibition (Borges et al 2000(Borges et al , 2001, which is an enzyme largely activated after venom administration/ inoculation. Aqueous extract of the leaves diminishes injures on skeletal muscle fibers via the prevention of edema formation within endomise (connective tissue) and reduces the muscle blockage, findings responsible by tissue damage protection and enhanced survival rates in extract-pretreated animals depending on the venom class (Cavalcante et al 2007).…”

“…sylvestris tem sido bastante estudada quanto aos seus princípios farmacológicos, uma vez que as propriedades fitoterápicas de suas folhas e casca foram identificadas como antidiarréicos, anti-reumáticos, diuréticos, antiinflamatórios, antipiréticas (Simões et al, 1986;Lopes, 1997;Alice et al, 1995), antiofídicos (Borges et al, 2001), cicatrizante (Scavone et al, 1979) e, também é utilizada na medicina veterinária para expulsão da placenta de animais após o parto (Simões et al, 1986;Lopes, 1997). Assim, esta espécie nativa é bastante promissora como opção agrícola (montanari Júnior, 2002) e foi listada como uma das espécies arbóreas prioritárias para conservação e manejo sustentável durante a primeira Reunião Técnica sobre Recursos Genéticos de Plantas medicinais e Aromáticas (Vieira et al 2002).…”

“…Gastric anti-ulcer activities of the ethanolic extract of C. sylvestris have been described in animal models (Esteves et al, 2005;Basile et al, 1990) and its activity is attributed to its volatile oils, tannins and terpenes (Sertié et al, 2000). Other studies showed that the inhibitory activity of aqueous extract of C. sylvestris on metalloproteases is the main mechanism of action for its anti-ophidic venom properties (Silva et al, 2006;Borges et al, 2001). Considering, the lack of information about others species from the family Salicaceae we evaluate the inhibitory protease activity of C. gossypiosperma, C. obliquoa, C. decandra, C. rupestris and Flacourtia ramontchi.…”
