Pharmacokinetic assessment and phytochemical triterpene control from Cecropia angustifolia using plant biotechnology

Phytochemical Analysis, 2023
AbstractIntroductionCecropia angustifolia Trécul. is a native Andean plant containing high levels of pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs), including several isobaric molecules that serve as chemical markers. Preclinical studies suggest that PTs positively modulate metabolic and vascular diseases.

The Azteca‐Cecropia Association: Are Ants Always Necessary for Their Host Plants?

Biotropica, 2004
ABSTRACTWe assessed the effects of Azteca alfari presence on herbivory and growth of saplings for two Amazonian Cecropia species. For both species, rates of herbivory were low and did not differ between ant‐removed and ant‐maintained plants. Plant growth, measured over six months, was also similar among treatments.

Nature's pharmacy – how Azteca sp. ants keep their colony clean, using the host plant Cecropia sp.

2019
The Cecropia–Azteca association is one of the most ubiquitous ant-plant mutualisms in Neotropical ecosystems. The plants provide ants with nesting space in their hollow stem internodes, as well as glycogen-rich food bodies for the ants to feed on. In return for shelter and food, Azteca ants protect the plant against herbivores and overgrowing vines ...
