Glycosylflavonoids from Cecropia pachystachya Trécul are quorum sensing inhibitors

Phytomedicine, 2014
The Cecropia genus is widely distributed in Latin America including at least 60 species, and some of them are commonly used in traditional medicine for the treatment of several diseases. We used Cecropia pachystachya Trécul to search for quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors compounds and found that the aqueous extract of C. pachystachya leaves is a promising

Differentiation of the phenolic chemical profiles of Cecropia pachystachya and Cecropia hololeuca

Phytochemical Analysis, 2018
AbstractIntroductionCecropia pachystachya and C. hololeuca are common species in Brazil, popularly used to treat respiratory diseases. Phytochemical studies indicate that their leaves are rich in phenolic compounds, mainly C‐glycosilated flavonoids. Orientin and isoorientin are reported in both species, while vitexina and isovitexina were reported in C.

Cardiovascular effects of the South American medicinal plant Cecropia pachystachya (ambay) on rats

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2005
Cecropia pachystachya is used in South America for relieving cough and asthma. In Argentina it is known as "ambay" and grows in the neotropical forests (Ntr C.p.) and in temperate hilly regions (Tp C.p.). To evaluate their cardiovascular profile, the effect of extracts obtained from plants growing in the neotropical region as well as in temperate areas

Anti-Inflammatory and Apoptotic Activities of Pomolic Acid Isolated from Cecropia pachystachya

Planta Medica, 2008
The dichloromethane extract and pomolic acid ( 5) obtained from leaves of Cecropia pachystachya both reduced carrageenan-induced paw oedema in mice. Interestingly, while the triterpenoid inhibited the in vivo production of interleukin-1beta by 39 %, it had no effect on tumour necrosis factor-alpha production.

Antimalarial activity of compounds and mixed fractions of Cecropia pachystachya

Drug Development Research, 2009
AbstractExtracts from Cecropia pachystachya (Cecropiaceae), a medicinal plant used in Brazil, were tested for their antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum and/or Plasmodium berghei in mice. The ethanol extracts of wood, root, and leaves reduce parasitemia of malaria‐infected mice from 35–66% in relation to nontreated control mice.

Bizarre Cecropia pachystachya (Urticaceae) hemiepiphytic growth on palms in the “Pantanal” wetland

Brazilian Journal of Botany, 2016
In this study, we describe for the first time facultative hemiepiphytism in Cecropia pachystachya Trecul growing on palms in the “Pantanal” wetland of Brazil and investigate ecological factors associated with this unexpected phenomenon. We sampled C. pachystachya seeds lodged in palm stems and recorded the seed rain to low stems, high stems and to the ...

Preventive Effect of Cecropia pachystachya Against Ketamine-Induced Manic Behavior and Oxidative Stress in Rats

Neurochemical Research, 2015
Cecropia species are widely used in traditional medicine by its anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory properties. In the present study, we investigated the neuroprotective and antioxidant effects of the crude aqueous extract from Cecropia pachystachya leaves in a rat model of mania induced by ketamine.

Anti‐Inflammatory, Antinociceptive and Cytotoxic Effects of the Methanol Extract of Cecropia pachystachya Trécul

Phytotherapy Research, 2012
Cecropia pachystachya is widely used in the traditional medicine as anti‐inflammatory, antitusive, expectorant, antiasthmatic and hypoglycemic. It is also commercially available to treat skin cancer. To validate some of the popular uses of this species, its methanol leaves extract (CPM) was tested for anti‐inflammatory, antinociceptive and cytotoxic ...

Comparing germination success and seedling traits between exotic and native pioneers: Cecropia pachystachya versus Macaranga gigantea

Plant Ecology, 2015
Cecropia is a pioneer genus from the Neotropics, whilst Macaranga is an ecological analog with a center of distribution in Southeast Asia. In the past few decades, introduced populations of Cecropia spp. have spread rapidly in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
