Abstract
Bocconia arborea S. Watson (Papaveraceae) is an abundant medicinal plant in the North of Morelos State, Mexico, which is used for the treatment of several diseases. The aim of current investigation was to isolate the compounds responsible of the relaxant effect shown by the active extracts. Thus, phytochemical bio-guided fractionation allowed the isolation of angoline (1), dihydrosanguinarine (2), bocconarborine A (3), oxisanguinarine (4), and oxychelerithrine (5) from dichloromethanic and methanolic extracts from the bark of Bocconia arborea (Papaveraceae). The relaxant study on aortic and tracheal rat rings of all benzophenanthridines indicates that 1 was the most active compound of the entire series investigated. Angoline (1) induces its relaxant effect by a concentration-dependent manner through the calcium channel blockade in both tissues.
期刊介绍:
Fitoterapia is a Journal dedicated to medicinal plants and to bioactive natural products of plant origin. It publishes original contributions in seven major areas:
1. Characterization of active ingredients of medicinal plants
2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
