In vitro pharmacological evaluation of the dichloromethanol extract from Schinus molle l.

Abstract: The pharmacological activity of the dichloromethanol extract of Schinus molle L. (SM-DCM) was analysed in in vitro models. Preincubation of the isolated guinea-pig ileum or rat uterus preparations with the extract (100 mg/mL) abolished the contractile effects of histamine and serotonin respectively. At the same dose, the extract partially reduced the contractile effects of acetylcholine on the isolated rat duodenum. A 10 mg/mL dose showed an inhibitory effect on histamine and serotonin, but not on acetylcholin… Show more

“…Both popular knowledge and research findings attribute anti-diarrheal, astringent, anti-inflammatory, cicatrizing, antibacterial, and purgative activities to this plant (Lima et . Schinus molle (Aroeira-salsa) species have been reported to show histamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine inhibitor activities, similar to those of Schinus terebinthifolius (Bello et al, 1998).…”

“…The fruits, leaves and the sap of the trunk have been used for their antihypertensive and diuretic properties (Ambasata, 1986). Previous studies have demonstrated that the activities of the different extracts from this species include those of being a hypotensive agent (Bello et al, 1996), an analgesic and depressor of the nervous system (Barrachina et al, 1997) and an antispasmodic (Bello et al, 1998). The principal compounds that have been isolated from S. molle are triterpenoidal ketoacids (Pozzo-Balbi et al, 1978).…”
