ABSTRACT
Se realizó el estudio de la acción hipoglicemiante de Ocimum sanctus (Albahaca morada), Notholaena nivea (Cuti-Cuti), Geranuim lechleri (Pasuchaca) y Smallantus sonchifolius (Yacón), frente a la hiperglicemia aloxánica, tanto de los extractos atomizados, como del pool de alcaloides, de cada una de las plantas. Igualmente, se determinó la DL50 del extracto atomizado y de los alcaloides de las cuatro plantas evaluadas. La toxicidad aguda se determinó en ratones albinos, cepa nihs, cuyos pesos oscilaron entre 25 y 30 g. La acción hipoglicemiante, fue evaluada en ratas albinas cepa holtzman, de 200 a 250 g de peso. Tanto los extractos atomizados, como los alcaloides de Cuti-Cuti, Pasuchaca y hojas de Yacón, mostraron un excelente efecto hipoglicemiante, frente a la hiperglicemia inducida por aloxano. Las tres plantas poseen escasa toxicidad aguda, y según los criterios de Williams podrían considerarse como plantas prácticamente atóxicas. Sin embargo, solamente el pool de alcaloides de Albahaca a la dosis de 250 mg/ kg de peso, mostró una escasa acción hipoglicemiante, no mostrando eficacia la dosis de 500mg/kg, del pool de alcaloides, ni el atomizado de la planta, a la dosis de 1000 mg/kg de peso.
The study of the hypoglicemic action of Ocimum sanctum (Albahaca morada), Notholaena nivea (Cuti-Cuti), Geranuim lechleri (Pasuchaca) and Smallantus sonchifolius (Yacón), was performed on alloxan-induced hyperglicemic rats. In addition, atomized extracts and the pool of alkaloids, of the different plants were studied. To evaluate acute toxicity, DL50 of the atomized extract and of the alkaloids on the four plants were determined using albino mice, whose weights oscillated between 25 and 30 g. The hypoglycemic action, was evaluated in Holtzman albino rats, of 200 to 250 g of weight. The atomized extracts, as well as the alkaloids of Cuti-Cuti, Pasuchaca and leaves of Yacón, showed an excellent hypoglicemic effect in the hyperglicemic alloxaninduced rats. These three plants have little acute toxicity and according to the Williams` criteria they could be considered as practically non toxic. On the other hand only the pool of alkaloids of Albahaca, at the dose of 250 mg/kg showed little hypoglicemic action. No hypoglicemic effect was observed with the albahaca alkaloids at the dose of 500mg/kg nor with the atomized extract of the plant at the dose of 1000 mg/kg.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) of excellent quality for intravenous use was obtained from the cryosupernatant of human plasma by a chromatographic method based on a mixture of ion-exchange, DEAE-Sepharose FF and arginine Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography and a final purification step by Sephacryl S-300 HR gel filtration. The yield of 10 experimental batches produced was 3.5 g IgG per liter of plasma. A solvent/detergent combination of 1 per cent Tri (n-butyl) phosphate and 1 per cent Triton X-100 was used to inactivate lipid-coated viruses. Analysis of the final product (5 per cent liquid IgG) based on the mean for 10 batches showed 94 per cent monomers, 5.5 per cent dimers and 0.5 per cent polymers and aggregates. Anticomplementary activity was 0.3 CH50/mg IgG and prekallikrein activator levels were less than 5 IU/ml. Stability at 37oC for 30 days in the liquid state was satisfactory. IgG was stored in flasks (2.5 g/flask) at 4 to 8oC. All the characteristics of the product were consistent with the requirements of the 1997 Pharmacopée Européenne.
