Jatropha toxicity--a review.
Jatropha is a nonedible oil seed plant belonging to Euphorbiaceae family. Global awareness of sustainable and alternative energy resources has propelled research on Jatropha oil as a feedstock for biodiesel production. During the past two decades, several cultivation projects were undertaken to produce Jatropha oil. In future, the increased cultivation of toxic Jatropha plants and utilization of its agro-industrial by-products may raise the frequency of contact with humans, animals, and other organisms. An attempt was thus made to present known information on toxicity of Jatropha plants.
PubMed: 20711929Medicinal property, phytochemistry and pharmacology of several Jatropha species (Euphorbiaceae): a review.
The genus Jatropha (Euphorbiaceae) comprises of about 170 species of woody trees, shrubs, subshrubs or herbs in the seasonally dry tropics of the Old and the New World. They are used in medicinal folklore to cure various diseases of 80% of the human population in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Species from this genus have been popular to cure stomachache, toothache, swelling, inflammation, leprosy, dysentery, dyscrasia, vertigo, anemia, diabetis, as well as to treat HIV and tumor, opthalmia, ringworm, ulcers, malaria, skin diseases, bronchitis, asthma and as an aphrodisiac. They are also empl
PubMed: 23153517Nutritional, biochemical, and pharmaceutical potential of proteins and peptides from jatropha: review.
Increased bioenergy consciousness and high demand for animal products have propelled the search for alternative resources that could meet the dual demands. Jatropha seeds have potential to fit these roles in view of their multipurpose uses, broad climatic adaptability features, and high oil and protein contents. During the past five years many large-scale cultivation projects have been undertaken to produce jatropha seed oil as a feedstock for the biodiesel industry. The present review aims at providing biological significance of jatropha proteins and peptides along with their nutritional and
PubMed: 20465279Identification of IgE-binding peptide and critical amino acids of Jatropha curcas allergen involved in allergenic response.
Increasing energy demand has spurred interest in the use of biofuels. Jatropha curcas (physic nut), an inedible oilseed, is a potential source of bioenergy. The seeds, however, contain allergens such as Jat c 1, a 2S albumin that can induce hypersensitivity reactions in humans and result in allergic diseases. Recent advances in identifying and characterizing plant allergens and, in particular, their immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding epitopes have produced a wealth of information. We identified IgE-binding regions and the critical amino acids involved in the degranulation of mast cells and the rel
PubMed: 27119058Seguridad y Precauciones
Jatropha macrantha presenta un perfil de seguridad que requiere atención especial debido a la presencia de compuestos potencialmente tóxicos en el género Jatropha. La corteza seca en decocción o macerado alcohólico, en las dosis tradicionales (10-15 gramos de corteza seca por litro, 1-2 tazas diarias, o un volumen determinado de macerado diario), se ha utilizado durante generaciones sin reportes de toxicidad aguda significativa. Sin embargo, la ausencia de estudios de seguridad formales es una limitación importante. El látex fresco es irritante y debe evitarse el contacto directo con piel y mucosas. Las semillas son TÓXICAS y NUNCA deben consumirse, ya que contienen ésteres de forbol con efectos purgantes violentos, irritación gastrointestinal severa y potencial promotor de tumores. Precauciones: los macerados alcohólicos combinan los riesgos de la planta con los del alcohol.
