Local knowledge of medicinal plants in sub-ethnic Batak Simalungun of North Sumatra, Indonesia

et al. 2014

Research on the local knowledge of medicinal plants by sub-ethnic Batak Simalungun of North Sumatra was conducted, using an ethnobotanical approach. The sample consisted of 8 key informants and 32 general respondents, who were grouped into two, namely those who were 30-50 years old and >50 years old. Data were analyzed both qualitatively by descriptive statistics and quantitatively by calculating the index of cultural significance (ICS) and the use value (UVs). It was found that 239 species (170 genera, 70 families) of medicinal plants were used to cure 18 kinds of natural diseases and 2 kinds of supra natural diseases. Almost half of those plants (119 species) had leaves used as medicines. Among the diseases, gastrointestinal disorders had the highest number of medicinal plants used (72 species), followed by fever (64 species), and fractures (41 species). It seemed that younger generation had lost their knowledge in the medicinal plants because their knowledge of medicinal plants (48.19 ± 8.35 species) was lower than the that of older generation (170.19 ± 18.38 species), while our key informants had the highest knowledge of medicinal plants among respondents (202.00 ± 12.32 species).

A B S T R A C TPhysalis peruviana belongs to Solanaceae family and has a high nutritional and nutraceutical potential. The production is intended for fruit consumption and the propagation is mainly by seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of priming on the kinetics of germination of P. peruviana seeds stored at different temperatures. The seeds were stored at 5 and 25 °C in a chamber saturated with zinc chloride solution and in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C). Every 4 months, the seeds were removed from storage for evaluation of germination and moisture content in the laboratory and emergence and development of seedlings in greenhouse. During the last evaluation at 16 months, the seeds under the same conditions were subjected to salt stress. The moisture content varied during the storage period, but was always higher for seeds kept at -196 o C. These seeds kept high germination percentage in water until 16 months, regardless of the tested temperature; however, in salt solution the germination percentage was significantly reduced.Armazenamento de sementes de Physalis peruviana L. R E S U M OPhysalis peruviana pertence à família Solanaceae; possui alto potencial alimentício e nutracêutico. A produção ocorre para consumo dos frutos e a propagação se dá principalmente via sementes. Objetivou-se, no presente trabalho, avaliar a influência do osmocondicionamento na cinética da germinação de sementes de P. peruviana armazenadas em diferentes temperaturas. As sementes foram armazenadas em temperaturas de 5 e 25 °C em câmara saturada com solução de cloreto de zinco e em nitrogênio líquido (-196 °C). A cada 4 meses as sementes foram retiradas do armazenamento para avaliação da germinabilidade e do teor de umidade em laboratório, emergência e desenvolvimento de plântulas em viveiro. Durante a última avaliação, aos 16 meses, as sementes nas mesmas condições foram submetidas ao estresse salino. O teor de umidade variou durante o período de armazenamento sendo sempre superior para as sementes mantidas a -196 o C as quais mantiveram alta porcentagem de germinação em água até os 16 meses, independente da temperatura testada; entretanto em solução salina a porcentagem de germinação foi significativamente reduzida.

“…Interestingly, common dietary ingredients appear in Solanaceae subfamilies, such as tomatoes and potatoes ( Solanum ), bell and chili peppers ( Capsicum ), and tobacco ( Nicotiana ) [ 39 ]. The biological aspects of this family are primarily related to their alkaloid content (e.g., tropanes, nicotine, capsaicinoids, and glycoalkaloids) [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. Chili peppers that are found in the Capsicum genus are believed to have been part of the human diet since immemorial time.…”

Peppers: A “Hot” Natural Source for Antitumor Compounds

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Piper, Capsicum, and Pimenta are the main genera of peppers consumed worldwide. The traditional use of peppers by either ancient civilizations or modern societies has raised interest in their biological applications, including cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects. Cellular responses upon treatment with isolated pepper-derived compounds involve mechanisms of cell death, especially through proapoptotic stimuli in tumorigenic cells. In this review, we highlight naturally occurring secondary metabolites of peppers with cytotoxic effects on cancer cell lines. Available mechanisms of cell death, as well as the development of analogues, are also discussed.
