“…As a common house-hold remedy, it has been used extensively as an expectorant, demulcent, diuretic, rubefacient, cholagogue and for treatment of gastritis (Miyake, 1986). Pharmaceutical companies have translated the commercially valuable therapeutic properties of the rhizome into products that medical doctors prescribe to effectively treat gastritis and problems with digestion (Yasuda et al, 1988).…”

“…As curcumas são plantas herbáceas perenes do gênero Indo-Malaio Curcuma, cultivadas há muito na Índia, China, Indonésia, Paquistão e outros países 24 , sendo usadas em afecções hepáticas em todo Sudeste Asiático. A Curcuma zedoaria, em particular, consta da publicação "The Indian Materia Medica" 25 desde 1927, tendo sido assinalada no Brasil por Coimbra em "Notas de Fitoterapia" 2 , já em 1958 e posteriormente por Miyake 24 , em 1986. Desde a década de 60, no Japão, várias espécies do gênero Curcuma vêm sendo estudadas quanto a sua composição 30 .…”

As várias espécies do gênero Curcuma têm sido estudadas desde a década de 60, pois há muito são amplamente cultivadas e utilizadas na medicina popular de todo sudeste asiático. Hoje seu uso é bem difundido entre nós e, apesar da utilização de várias técnicas para a caracterização dos extratos , o controle de qualidade desses fitoterápicos constitui um desafio para o laboratório de Saúde Pública. Este estudo propõe um método rápido e pouco dispendioso, empregando cromatografia em camada delgada e que mostrou-se eficaz na avaliação de extratos de Curcuma zedoaria.

BackgroundPrevious experiments have shown that a decoction of Bauhinia forficata leaves reduces the changes in carbohydrate and protein metabolism that occur in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. In the present investigation, the serum activities of enzymes known to be reliable toxicity markers were monitored in normal and streptozotocin-diabetic rats to discover whether the use of B. forficata decoction has toxic effects on liver, muscle or pancreas tissue or on renal microcirculation.MethodsAn experimental group of normal and streptozotocin-diabetic rats received an aqueous decoction of fresh B. forficata leaves (150 g/L) by mouth for 33 days while a control group of normal and diabetic rats received water for the same length of time. The serum activity of the toxicity markers lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, amylase, angiotensin-converting enzyme and bilirubin were assayed before receiving B. forficata decoction and on day 19 and 33 of treatment.ResultsThe toxicity markers in normal and diabetic rats were not altered by the diabetes itself nor by treatment with decoction. Whether or not they received B. forficata decoction the normal rats showed a significant increase in serum amylase activity during the experimental period while there was a tendency for the diabetic rats, both treated and untreated with decoction, to have lower serum amylase activities than the normal rats.ConclusionsAdministration of an aqueous decoction of B. forficata is a potential treatment for diabetes and does not produce toxic effects measurable with the enzyme markers used in our study.
