Effect of Stryphnodendron adstringens (barbatimão) bark on animal models of nociception

Abstract

The antinociceptive activity of the crude extract and fractions of

Protective action against chemical-induced genotoxicity and free radical scavenging activities of Stryphnodendron adstringens ("barbatimão") leaf extracts

“…Stem bark is the main part of the plant used popularly as an anti-infl ammatory, astringent, in the treatment of wounds and vaginal infections (Panizza et al, 1988;Lopes et al, 2005). Several reports have proven the anti-ulcerogenic, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and antimicrobial (Lima et al, 1998;Audi et al, 1999;Ishida et al, 2006;Ishida et al, 2009;Melo et al, 2007) activities of bark extract of S. adstringens. However there are few reports on the toxicity of barbatimão leaf extracts (Almeida et al, 2010).…”

Evaluation of bean access to agronomic traits for use in breeding program

“…Ainda, o Brasil não é autossuficiente na produção e a média nacional de rendimento de grãos é baixa. Um dos principais motivos da baixa produtividade é o fato de o feijão ser produzido em áreas marginais, constituídas de solos de baixa fertilidade e por diversas categorias de agricultores, desde aqueles com pouco uso de tecnologias, até aqueles que usam as mais modernas tecnologias de produção (MELO et al, 2007).…”

Wound-healing evaluation of ointment from Stryphnodendron adstringens (barbatimão) in rat skin

“…Extracts of the stem bark from species of Stryphnodendron have several medically useful properties, such as antiinflammatory (Melo et al, 2007), antimicrobial Ishida et al, 2006), antiulcerogenic (Audi et al, 1999), trypanocidal (Holetz et al, 2005) Mello et al (1996a;1996b, who isolated 23 compounds from these tannins. Recently, Lopes et al (2008) reported five new compounds from stem bark of S. adstringens and S. polyphyllum.…”

The content of tannins in Stryphnodendron adstringens was demonstrated by Mello et al (1996a;1996b, who isolated 23 compounds from these tannins.…”
