ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to compare two alkaloids (antioquine and tetrandrine) with verapamil; knowing that the smooth muscle respond to KCl and relationships with calcium. The effects of antioquine and tetrandrine, was studied in adults Wistar rat with modified methods used in the determination of aorta contractility and compared with verapamil effect in the same assays. The analysis of the effect of a drug or extract on aortic reactivity included maximal relaxation or maximal contraction (Cmax) (Phase 1). In our results, verapamil induced a blockade of 98.7 ± 0.7% (n = 6) in presence of endothelium and 97.9 ± 4.3% in ausence of endothelium, both in phase 1 and in phase 2 of 47.4 ± 4.1% (n = 6) in aortas in the presence of endothelium and 61.8 ± 1.1% in ausence of endothelium; Tetrandrine assays showed a phase 1 blocking effect of 63.4 ± 5.5 and 47.7 ± 2.9% (with and without endothelium, respectively) and phase 2 of 43.5 ± 6.2 and 28.5 ± 5.7%, (with and without endothelium, respectively). Antioquine presents in phase 1 and phase 2, a blockade that is not significant from the point of view of calcium antagonism. We can conclude that tetrandrine block the movement of calcium from both intracellular and extracellular deposits, with the greatest effect when aortas are in the presence of endothelium.

ABSTRACT

Con el fin de caracterizar y evaluar el conocimiento botánico perteneciente a la población en el área rural (poco abordado por la etnobotánica) se realizó un estudio a través de encuestas para aprender sobre plantas medicinales cultivadas y utilizadas en una zona rural de la Región Metropolitana (San Juan de Pirque). Las conclusiones son que los usuarios tienen un conocimiento híbrido (producto de los conocimientos tradicionales en combinación con la información de diversos tipos) de plantas medicinales. Hemos encontrado que la mayoría de las especies cultivadas en los jardines botánicos fueron especies introducidas y muy pocos las nativas. También, se les conocía por sus nombres comunes y no se detectaron nuevos nombres no descrito previamente en la literatura.
