AbstractThe tumor microenvironment presents several therapeutic targets, with inflammation being one of them. In search of new drugs, plants have shown to be an effective source of potent anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. This study aimed to evaluate the antitumoral and inflammatory activities of Boehmeria caudata aerial parts extract. Bioguided in vitro antiproliferative screening showed that phenanthroquinolizidine obtained from the aerial B. caudata ethanolic extract had a straight relationship with activity. Moreover, the orally administered ethanolic extract reduced Ehrlich solid tumor growth and displayed an anti-inflammatory effect in both evaluated experimental models (carrageenan-induced paw edema and croton oil-induced ear edema). These results suggest that the antitumor activity of the ethanolic extract could be explained by antiproliferative effects associated with anti-inflammatory action.

Brachiaria species contain steroidal saponins and are involved in outbreaks of hepatogenous photosensitization. This research presents the levels of a steroidal saponin, protodioscin, in the seeds and aerial parts of B. brizantha and B. decumbens during different developmental stages (growth, bloom, fructification and seed fall). The butanolic fraction of the ethanolic extract of each stage was submitted to thin layer chromatography (TLC) and spectrophotometric analysis through the Ehrlich reagent in 515nm. The chromatograms in TLC of the butanolic fraction of B. brizantha and B. decumbens showed similar spots as the protodioscin standard. The estimated level of protodioscin isomers in B. brizantha and B. decumbens ranged from 0.5% to 2.1%, having the highest level at the end of their developmental stages during seed falling comparison with the previous one. Protodioscin was not detected in the seeds. Outbreaks of Brachiaria spp. poisoning in central Western Brazil are frequently observed in pastures that had been more than 30 days without animals grazing, and also during the growing or blooming stage of the pastures. Other saponin determinations in toxic and non toxic pastures are necessary to determine the saponin concentrations that cause intoxication.

First Time

Gynura bicolor (Willd.) DC., is used in folk recipes for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan province in the south of China. A previous pharmacological study proved that the plant showed significant hypoglycemic activity on normal and alloxan-diabetic mice. In this study, two terpenes, four megastigmane-type norisoprenoids and two glycosides were isolated from the aqueous ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Gynura bicolor and characterized mainly by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. These compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant, and no evidence could be found for the previous reported presence of megastigmane-type norisoprenoids in the genus Gynura.
