Nephroprotective Effect of Echinodorus macrophyllus Micheli on Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Leaves of Echinodorus macrophyllus (EM), from the Alismataceae family, have been used in Brazilian folk medicine for their anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. In this work, the diuretic and nephroprotective activities of crude extracts of EM were evaluated. METHODS: Normal Wistar rats were given 0.9% NaCl containing either EM (10-300 mg/kg), furosemide (13 mg/kg) or arginine vasopressin (0.2 mg/kg). Thereafter, the rats were individually housed in metabolic cages, and urine volume was measured every 30 min for a total of 3 h. Acute kidney injury was induced by gentamici

The Chapeu-de-couro (Echinodorus macrophyllus (Kunth) Micheli) is a native plant from Brazil, which has been mainly used in medicinal application being a potent antirheumatic and diuretic, in the production of soft drinks, and also in the ornamentation of aquariums. In this paper, the metals and metalloids for the leaves of chapeu-de-couro collected in the Paraguacu River from the city Cachoeira, Bahia State, Brazil, was determined and evaluated using multivariate analysis. The samples were digested using nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass

Echinodorus grandiflorus (Cham. & Schltdl.) Micheli is a native Brazilian species used in traditional practices for the treatment of several conditions such as inflammatory diseases, arthritis and hypertension. Through a systematic review of the accumulated knowledge about the species E. grandiflorus, the botanical, phytochemistry, ethnobotanical and pharmacological properties of this medicinal plant demonstrates its potential to naturally provide anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant with a special emphasis on anti-hypertensive and cardioprotective effects. The body of literature reports that th

BACKGROUND: Although Echinodorus grandiflorus (Cham. & Schltr.) Michel are used in Brazilian folk medicine as a diuretic drug, to date, no study has evaluated the mechanisms involved in this activity after prolonged administration in rats. AIM OF THE STUDY: Evaluate the possible mechanisms involved in the prolonged diuretic activity of ethanol soluble fraction obtained from Echinodorus grandiflorus (ES-EG) and to assess its relationship with hypotensive and antihypertensive activity using normotensive rats and those with renovascular hypertension (2K1C). METHODS: The diuretic effects of ES-EG
PubMed: 26776663Seguridad y Precauciones
El perfil de seguridad de Echinodorus macrophyllus ha sido evaluado en estudios toxicológicos, lo cual es inusual y valioso para una planta medicinal. Un estudio completo no detectó actividad mutagénica ni citotóxica a dosis terapéuticas equivalentes (PMID 10996480). Sin embargo, durante el embarazo y la lactancia se recomienda evitar su uso, ya que no existen estudios específicos de seguridad reproductiva y los efectos inmunosupresores observados in vitro podrían afectar al feto o al recién nacido a través de la leche materna. En niños menores de 12 años, la falta de datos pediátricos hace prudente evitar su administración. Por su efecto diurético, la planta puede potenciar la acción de medicamentos diuréticos farmacéuticos como la furosemida o la hidroclorotiazida, lo que podría causar una pérdida excesiva de electrolitos, especialmente potasio. Las personas que toman medicamentos antihipertensivos deben tener precaución, ya que el efecto diurético podría provocar una caída excesiva de la presión arterial.
