Genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of Erythrina velutina Willd., Fabaceae, on the root meristem cells of Allium cepa

Abstract: Abstract:The effects of the decoction of Erythrina velutina Willd., Fabaceae, were investigated using the root meristem cells of Allium cepa L., Amaryllidaceae. Ten concentrations of the aqueous extract (0.125 to 1.25%) of this medicinal plant were analyzed at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. All concentrations showed root growth inhibition after 96 h treatment. Although there were no signifi cant differences between the mitotic indexes of any concentration and the control, there were changes in the fr… Show more

“…De acordo com Parsons, Williams (2000) [29] os alcaloides, têm propriedades biológicas, incluindo a inibição da síntese de proteínas e DNA em certas células. Colocando-os assim como possíveis promotores da condensação dos cromossomos em fases do ciclo mitótico [30]. Em relação aos resultados do bioensaio com A. salina, foi possível mostrar que a infusão das folhas de S. purpurea apresentou toxicidade frente aos náuplios.…”

“…marina banyak dimanfaatkan sebagai tanaman obat karena memiliki kandungan metabolit sekunder tetapi belum diketahui tingkat sitotoksik dan genotoksik A.marina terhadap sel dan kromosom. Hal ini perlu diketahui karena menurut (Silva et al, 2011) tumbuhan yang dapat digunakan sebagai tanaman obat dapat berpotensi toksik, karsinogenik atau teratogenik. Berdasarkan alasan tersebut maka perlu dilakukan uji genotoksisitas dan sitotoksisitas A.marina terhadap akar bawang dengan indikator indeks mitosis dan aberasi kromosom dengan menggunakan metode Allium assay.…”

“…However the study of Silva and coworkers (Silva et al, 2011) put in attention the use of this plant because through genotoxicity and cytotoxicity experiments on the root meristem cells of Allium cepa showed that the decoction of the leaves can have genotoxic effects at some doses and they recommend caution when using this plant for the preparation of teas and other medicinal products.…”
