Phytochemical study and evaluation of the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of Cuscuta racemosa

Abstract: Cuscuta racemosa Mart. is a parasitic plant of the Convolvulaceae family, used in popular medicine as an anti-inflammatory and a diuretic, for stomach and hepatic disorders, and for treating fresh wounds. This plant is popularly known as "cipó-chumbo" and "fios-de-ovos". In this study, it was chemically investigated and tested for its antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. The flavonoid and tannin content of the dried plant were 2.79% and 2.01%, respectively. Furthermore, the 4'-methoxyquercetin flavanoid co… Show more

“…The other hand, the 4-methoxy-quercetin flavonoid (Figure No. 1C) was isolated from Cuscuta racemosa, which could be attributed to the antimicrobial activity of the plant (Ferraz et al, 2011). The E extract from Striga hermonthica showed moderate activity at [2000 µg/mL] against C. albicans (3.00 mm).…”

“…Here, we studied the species Cuscuta racemosa Mart. There are few studies on the physiology of this species and they are focused on the pharmacological properties of this plant (Ferraz et al, 2010(Ferraz et al, , 2011Sousa et al, 2012). Besides, as far as we know, no studies have examined the electrical signalling of a parasitic plant.…”

“…Bu içeriklerinden dolayı Cuscuta türleri modern tıpta kullanılmaktadır (5). C. campestris çoğunlukla kersetin (6), hiperosid (7) kaempferol, refleksin, klorojenik asit, kafeik asit, p-Coumaric asit, 4,5-dikaffeoilkinik asit (6) gibi fitokonstitüentleri ihtiva eder. Birçok çalışma, Cuscuta türlerinin, anti-analjezik (ağrı kesici) ve anti-piretik (ateş düşürücü) özelliklerin yanı sıra antibakteriyel, antimikrobiyal, antioksidan, anti enflamatuar, anti-proliferatif, hepatoprotektif (karaciğer koruyucu etkileri) ve anti-ülser aktiviteleri dahil olmak üzere çeşitli biyolojik etkilere sahip olduğunu göstermiştir (5,8,9).…”
