Study of an Argentine Mistletoe, the hemiparasite Ligaria cuneifolia (R. et P.) Tiegh. (Loranthaceae)

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1998
Ligaria cuneifolia (R. et P.) Tiegh. is an hemiparasite species used in Argentine folk medicine as a substitute for the European mistletoe (Viscum album L.) based on its putative activity of decreasing high blood pressure. This paper analyzes flavonoid composition, protein constituents and the possible immunomodulatory and antitumoral effects of this ...

Plant extracts and betulin from Ligaria cuneifolia inhibit P-glycoprotein function in leukemia cells

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2021
Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is linked to multidrug resistance (MDR), is one of the underlying obstacles to the success of chemotherapy as it reduces the efficacy of anticancer drugs and the side effects of these increase as a result of any increased dose to achieve the therapeutic effect.

Immunobiological features of the galactoside lectin L-Lc isolated from the Argentine mistletoe Ligaria cuneifolia

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2003
Ligaria cuneifolia has been used in Argentine folk medicine and is currently employed as substitute for the European mistletoe (Viscum album) as hypotensor agent. Extracts from V. album are widely used in cancer therapy and the antineoplasic effect is attributed to their cytostatic/cytotoxic and immunomodulatory actions.

Nectar secretion pattern, removal effects, and breeding system ofLigaria cuneifolia(Loranthaceae)

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1996
Some aspects of the reproductive biology of Ligaria cuneifolia have been studied, addressing the following questions: (i) Are there temporal differences in the female and male functions? (ii) How do nectar composition, volume, concentration, and amount of sugar vary throughout the flower lifetime? (iii) How does the plant respond to nectar removal? (iv)

Host Response and Endophyte Structure of the MistletoeLigaria cuneifolia(Loranthaceae) ParasitizingCorryocactus brevistylus(Cactaceae)

Haseltonia, 2015
Abstract: Parasitic plants must be adapted to their hosts, and hosts must have ineffective defenses. Two xeric adaptations in cacti—a broad nutrient-poor cortex and a tough hypodermis—probably are effective defenses. However, Ligaria cuneifolia overcomes these defenses with unusual methods of attack and endophytic growth, although the host ...

Estudio farmacológico de un agente vasoactivo presente en Ligaria cuneifolia var. cuneifolia

1994
The pressor effect of infusions (6.25-25%) from Ligaria cuneifolia var. cuneifolia was studied by intravenous injection in conscious rats. A vasoactive agent with pressor and hypotensive effect was detected. The pressor effect could be mediated by a direct stimulation of α-adrenoceptors. The hypotensive effect was seen after an α-adrenoceptor blockade.
