Biological screening of Amaranthus retroflexus L. (Amaranthaceae)

Abstract: RESUMO: Abordagem biológica de Amaranthus retroflexus L. (Amaranthaceae).Ensaios biológicos foram realizados para determinação da toxidade de Amaranthus retroflexus L. (Amaranthaceae) conhecido popularmente como "redroot pigweed". Extratos desta espécie foram testados para avaliar sua bioatividade em Artemia salina e citoxidade em células bovinas de rim. Os valores de DL 50 para Artemia salina foram medidos a 1700 ppm. As células de rim bovinas foram expostas a várias concentrações dos extratos de plantas (100… Show more

“…The toxic compound that causes tubular nephrosis is, to date, unknown, although extracts of A . retroflexus have been shown in vitro to be toxic to bovine renal cells, suggesting a specific renal toxicity . Phenolic compounds similar to those found to cause tubular necrosis in oak species have been identified in the leaves of Amaranthus spp .…”
