Abstract

Ethnopharmacological information on endemic Chilean medicinal plants suggest that their traditional use could be related to their capacity to contrast the deleterious effects of oxidative stress. Therefore, on the base of these observations, we carried out an investigation on the pharmacological activities of Chilean medicinal plants demonstrating that their antioxidant properties can explain and justify their traditional use.

There are no ethnopharmacological studies available for some species, which would instead be necessary in order to confirm the validity of the properties attributed to them by traditional medicine. In addition to Peumus boldus Mol., which is recognized as a herbal remedy by a number of pharmacopoeias, Solidago chilensis Meyen and Kageneckia oblonga Ruiz & Pav., proved in vivo to have pharmacological effects relevant to their traditional use, together with a strong antioxidant activity.

Résumé

Les informations ethnopharmacologiques sur les plantes médicinales chiliennes suggèrent que leur utilisation traditionnelle peut être reliée à leur capacité de s’opposer à l’action nocive du stress oxydant. En nous basant sur ces observations, nous avons mené des recherches sur les activités pharmacologiques de plantes médicinales chiliennes, en démontrant que leurs propriétés antioxydantes peuvent expliquer et justifier leur utilisation traditionnelle. Des études pharmacologiques n’ont pas encore été réalisées pour quelques espèces mais sont nécessaires afin de confirmer la validité des propriétés attribuées par la médecine traditionnelle à ces plantes. Avec le Peumus boldus Mol., qui est reconnu comme une plante médicinale dans de nombreuses pharmacopées, le Solidago chilensis Meyen et Kageneckia oblonga Ruiz & Pav. ont montré in vivo des propriétés pharmacologiques considérables, en correspondance avec leur utilisation traditionnelle, et une forte activité antioxydante. Tout semble indiquer que leur utilisation populaire est due à leur capacité de contrarier les effets nocifs du stress oxydatif.
