Hyptis verticillata Jacq: a review of its traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Hyptis verticillata Jacq. (Lamiaceae) (John Charles) is an important medicinal plant with a long history of traditional use, originating in Central America and now extending from Florida to Colombia and across the Caribbean. Records of its earliest use date back to the ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures of Mesoamerica. There is no indication that this plant is being used outside of the Americas. AIM OF THE REVIEW: This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the traditional use, phytochemistry, pharmacological activity and toxicology of Hyptis verticill
PubMed: 23403358Subtribe Hyptidinae (Lamiaceae): A promising source of bioactive metabolites.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The subtribe Hyptidinae contains approximately 400 accepted species distributed in 19 genera (Hyptis, Eriope, Condea, Cantinoa, Mesosphaerum, Cyanocephalus, Hypenia, Hyptidendron, Oocephalus, Medusantha, Gymneia, Marsypianthes, Leptohyptis, Martianthus, Asterohyptis, Eplingiella, Physominthe, Eriopidion and Rhaphiodon). This is the Lamiaceae clade with the largest number of species in Brazil and high rates of endemism. Some species have been used in different parts of the world mainly as insecticides/pest repellents, wound healing and pain-relief agents, as well
PubMed: 32763419The essential oils chemical compositions and antimicrobial, antioxidant activities and toxicity of three Hyptis species.
CONTEXT: Hyptis suaveolens (Linn.) Poit., Hyptis rhomboidea Mart. et Gal., and Hyptis brevipes Poit., are three species of Hyptis Jacq. (Lamiaceae). Hyptis suaveolens is used for the treatment of fever, headache, gastrointestinal bloating and rheumatism in the traditional folk medicine; Hyptis rhomboidea for hepatitis, ulcer and swollen poison; and Hyptis brevipes for asthma and malaria. OBJECTIVE: To characterize chemical compositions of the oils from three Hyptis species and evaluate their potential antimicrobial, radical scavenging activities and toxicities against brine shrimp.
PubMed: 23763698Rosmarinic acid and its derivatives: Current insights on anticancer potential and other biomedical applications.
Cancer is still the leading cause of death worldwide, burdening the global medical system. Rosmarinic acid (RA) is among the first secondary metabolites discovered and it is a bioactive compound identified in plants such as Boraginaceae and Nepetoideae subfamilies of the Lamiaceae family, including Thymus masticmasti chinaythia koreana, Ocimum sanctum, and Hyptis pectinate. This updated review is to highlight the chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects of RA and its derivatives, thus providing valuable clues for the potential development of some complementary drugs in the treatment of can
PubMed: 37062215Effect of the Phytochemical Agents against the SARS-CoV and Some of them Selected for Application to COVID-19: A Mini-Review.
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present review is to provide basic knowledge regarding the treatment of Coronavirus via medicinal plants. Coronavirus (COVID-19, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV) as a viral pneumonia causative agent, has infected thousands of people in China and worldwide. Currently, there is no specific medicine or vaccine available that can treat or prevent this virus and this has posed a severe threat to human health; therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel drug or anticoronavirus vaccine. However, natural compounds to treat coronaviruses are the most effective alternative an

The current scientific understanding of the Hyptidinae subtribe, which encompasses Hyptis eriocephala, is built upon a foundation of phytochemical screening and ethnobotanical review, though direct clinical evidence remains limited. First, regarding the potential for drug discovery, research into the subtribe Hyptidinae (PMID 32763419) investigated the chemical diversity of these species. This suggests that while the plants themselves may not be the final medicine, they contain the chemical 'blueprints' for modern pharmacology. This suggests that the chemical constituents in Hyptis-related plants may have biological effects that could theoretically assist in managing inflammation or oxidative stress. Finally, the potential for new therapeutic applications is seen in the study of phytochemicals and their role in addressing viral threats (PMID 32619167).
Seguridad y Precauciones
La seguridad en el uso de Hyptis eriocephala es un área que requiere precaución extrema debido a la falta de estudios clínicos robustos en humanos. En el caso de mujeres embarazadas o en periodo de lactancia, el uso de esta planta está estrictamente desaconsejado. No existen datos que garanticen la ausencia de efectos teratogénicos (malformaciones fetales) o la seguridad de los metabolitos secundarios durante el desarrollo embrionario. Dado que compuestos de la subtribu Hyptidinae pueden contener lignanos como la podofilotoxina, existe un riesgo potencial de toxicidad celular que podría interferir con la división celular normal del feto. En la lactancia, no se puede determinar si los compuestos bioactivos se excretan en la leche materna ni su impacto en el desarrollo del lactante. Para niños menores de 12 años, la seguridad es desconocida; sus sistemas metabólicos y órganos en desarrollo son mucho más sensibles a las variaciones farmacológicas, y la falta de dosis estandarizadas aumenta el riesgo de toxicidad aguda o crónica.
