It gives me great pleasure to express my gratitude to them here. Let me first acknowledge Howard M. Solomon, who advised me in my earliest attempts at historical research as an undergraduate at Tufts University. Howard first suggested that I combine my interests in science and history by studying history of science. He has been and remains an inspiration to me as a teacher and an intellectual. I have been deeply honored and extraordinarily lucky to have had such a talented and supportive dissertation committee. My co-advisers, John Marino and Naomi Oreskes, provided encouragement, insight, and constructive criticism at every step in the development of this project from conception to completion. My debts to them both are innumerable. I also benefitted from working closely with Paula De Vos, Marcel Henaff, Christine Hunefeldt, and Robert S. Westman in various formal and informal settings. Each of these mentors has left an indelible mark on this project and on my development as a scholar. A number of other faculty and colleagues at UCSD and elsewhere have generously shared their time and talents with me over the years. I owe a special thanks to Luce Giard, a valued mentor regarding all aspects of intellectual life, who was one of the first to encourage my interests in studying science and colonialism in Latin America. I would also like to thank Eric Van Young, Elliott Wirshbo, Vicente Rafael, David Ringrose, Pamela Radcliff, Joseph Gabriel and Andrew Lakoff for their contributions to my experiences learning, researching, and writing at UCSD. vi It is a distinct pleasure to be a part of the small but engaging group of scholars in the United States working on the history of science in the Iberian world. Among them, I would especially like to acknowledge Daniela Bleichmar for her support and encouragement as well as for sharing her knowledge of eighteenth-century natural history on many occasions. I am grateful to Antonio Barrera, Miruna Achim, and Alison Sandman for many stimulating conversations on science in the early modern Iberian Atlantic. I must also thank the participants at the “Places of Knowledge” conference at Cornell University in 2008 for their feedback on my research. Thanks to Suman Seth and Trevor Pinch for the invitation to present at the conference. Finally, I would like to thank the various audiences that have listened to and commented on presentations of my research at the annual meetings of the Society for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies and the History of Science Society as well as the Science Studies Colloquium and Graduate Research Symposium at UCSD. Research for this project took me a number of archives, libraries and even botanical gardens in Spain and Ecuador. I have appreciated the assistance provided by the staff members at the Biblioteca Nacional de España, the Archivo del Real Palacio de Madrid, the Archivo General de Indias, the Archivo de Simancas, the Archivo del Real Jardín Botánico, and the Archivo Histórico Nacional in Spain as well as at the Jardín Botánico de Loja in Ecuador. Of the many archivists and librarians who facilitated my research, I would especially like to recognize Ignacio Diáz-Delgado Peñas at the Archivo de la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina de España, Director Grecia Vasco de Escudero at the Archivo Histórico Nacional de Ecuador, and Gordon Hogg at the Special Collections Library at the University of Kentucky. vii Funding for research abroad came from several sources. The All-UC Group in Economic History and the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies at UCSD provided support for a preliminary research trip to Seville. A nine-month fellowship from the J. William Fulbright Foundation supported my research in Spain during the 2005-2006 academic year. Funds from the Institute for International and Comparative Area Studies at UCSD and the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies at UCSD enabled me to conduct additional research in Ecuador. The Center for Humanities, the Department of History, and the Science Studies Program at UCSD all provided additional funds for research and writing. I also received training and support from the International Summer School in History of Science in Paris (2002) and Uppsala (2006). The kindness and advice of a number of people greatly enriched my experiences researching abroad. In Quito, Christiana Borchart de Moreno, Segundo Moreno Yánez, and Susan Webster all generously shared their knowledge of Ecuador’s colonial history and archives on many occasions, while Tamar Herzog pointed me in the direction of the wonderfully miscellaneous fondo especial at the Archivo Histórico Nacional de Ecuador. In Spain, I received helpful guidance from Jeremy Baskes, J. Michael Francis, Salvador Bernabeu, Berta Ares, Miguel Puig- Samper and Francisco Javier Puerto Sarmiento, who kindly took me on a tour of the pharmacy museum at the Universidad Complutense. I am grateful as well to James Amelang at the Universidad Autónoma

  • 3 Plants for Chemotherapy of Neoplastic Diseases
    3 Plants for Chemotherapy of Neoplastic Diseases GENERAL CONCEPT Each year in the United States more than 1 million people are diagnosed with cancer, and about 500,000 people die from the disease. For the most part, the reason that cancer is a fatal disease is that cancer cells can invade through, and metastasize to, distant organs in the body. The hallmarks of malignant neoplastic tissue are unregulated cell proliferation, invasiveness, and metastasis to distant sites in the body. Surgery and radiotherapy can eradicate localized tumors but may fail because the cancer may have metastasized to other areas of the body; chemotherapy, if used properly, may control or eliminate metastasis. The array of drugs used for the treatment of cancer includes antimetabolites (methotrexate [Trexall®]), fluoouracil (Efudex®), mercaptopurine (Puri-Nethol®), cytarabine (Cytosar®), covalent DNA-binding drugs (nitrogen mustards, alkylating agents), noncovalent binding drugs (anthracyclines), antiestrogens, and inhibitors of chromatin function. Examples of inhibitors of chromatin function derived from flowering plants (Fig. 80) are etoposide (lignan) and alkaloids camptothecin, Vinca alkaloids, and 7 epitaxol. The rhi- zome of Podophyllum peltatum L. (May apple, Berberidaceae) has been used to remove warts and to relieve the bowels from costiveness since very early times. It contains podophyllo- toxin, a cytotoxic lignan from which etoposide (Vepesid®), which is used to treat lung cancer, lymphomas, and leukemias on account of its ability to inhibit the activity of From: Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal Plants: Asia and the Pacific Edited by: C.

  • Swietenia Febrifuga and the Cinchona Substitutes
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Kent Academic Repository Medical History, 2010, 54: 75–94 Empire and Alternatives: Swietenia febrifuga and the Cinchona Substitutes PRATIK CHAKRABARTI * Introduction This paper focuses on a cinchona substitute, the Swietenia febrifuga (also known as Soymida febrifuga1), whose medical virtues for treating intermittent fevers were discov- ered in India around 1791 by William Roxburgh, the English East India Company (EEIC) surgeon in charge of the Company’s botanical garden in Samulcottah (north of Chennai or Madras). The bark was subsequently subjected to several experiments in three main cities, Samulcottah, Madras (the EEIC headquarters on the east coast of India) and Tranquebar (the Danish base on the same coast). The research and promotion of the bark were carried out by Roxburgh, other surgeons, missionaries and also the EEIC’s commercial agents. One reason for such an interest in the bark was the commercial incentive to find local alternatives to cinchona. Monopolies of trade required availability and cultivability of similar species of commercial commodities within areas of control. Another was scien- tific. The bark promised a cure for a major disease for Europeans in the colonies and the search for a substitute had become a global scientific obsession. For botanists like Roxburgh, who were based in India, the discovery of a cinchona substitute was one of the few ways of achieving international recognition. Moreover, the scientific ambiguity of the most suitable species of cinchona prompted the trial of many alternatives in differ- ent regions. By focusing on the identification and scientific analyses of Swietenia and other similar substitutes, both in India and in England, this paper first investigates the trajectories of the search for medical alternatives in the empire through the burgeoning networks of trade and natural history.

  • Classification of Plants
    CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS Bonnie Okonek Linda Morganstein, editor Medicinal plants sold in Asuncion, Paraguay,in a plant market. Photo by Steven R. King, 1996. INTRODUCTION: WHAT'S IN A NAME? "A rose is a rose," it has been said. And most of us know a rose when we see one, as we know the African marigolds we plant beside the potatoes and beans in our gardens, and the maples, elms, cedars, and pines that shade our backyards and line our streets. We usually call these plants by their common names. But if we wanted to know more about the cedar tree in our front yard, we would find that "cedar" may refer to an eastern red cedar, an incense cedar, a western red cedar, an Atlantic white cedar, a Spanish cedar, a banak cedar, or the biblical cedar of Lebanon. In fact, we would find that cedars are found in three separate plant families. Later, after discovering that our "African" marigolds are in fact from Mexico and our "Spanish" cedar originated in the West Indies, we would realize how misleading the common names of plants can be. The same plant can have many different common names. The Euro- pean white lily has at least 245, while the marsh marigold has at least 280. Clearly, if we use only the common name of a plant, we cannot be sure of understanding very much about that plant. It is for this reason that the scientific community prefers to use a more precise way of naming, or classification. Scientific classification, how- ever, is more than just naming: it is a key to understanding.

Muhamad Insanu*, Syaikhul Aziz, Irda Fidrianny, Rika Hartati, Elfahmi, Sukrasno and Komar Ruslan Wirasutisna 1Pharmaceutical Biology Research Group, School of Pharmacy, InstitutTeknologi Bandung, Jl Ganesha no 10, Bandung 40132, West Java, Indonesia *E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT Cinchona officinalis is known as the source of alkaloid compounds. Almost 7-12 % of alkaloids were contained in its bark. Not many studies reported other chemical compounds in it. This research aimed to isolate non-alkaloid compounds in the C. officinalis bark. It was extracted by maceration using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The alkaloidal fraction was separated from ethylacetate extract based on acid-base reaction. The fractions were continued to the next step of fractionations using vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and radial chromatography to yield compound 1. Characterizations of compound 1 were done by spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, ESI-MS, NMR ( 1H-, 13 C-, HSQC, and HMBC)).The maximum wavelengths of compound 1 were 278 and 430 nm. 1H- dan 13C-NMR data showed that compound 1 consisted of ten hydrogens and fifteen carbons. ESI-MS showed that the molecular weight was 285.96. It was predicted as 1,3,8-trihydroxy-2-methoxy-9,10-anthraquinone. It was firstly isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of C.officinalis bark.

This will not only provide recognition of this knowledge but will also help in conservation of such gradually vanishing endangered semi/arid plant species. The present paper provide ethnopharmacological information of 48 taxa distributed into 26 families. For each plant species listed, the botanical name, family, vernacular name, part used, uses/ailments treated, preparations/administrations, use (%) and locality are given. Among the major findings: Acacia nilotica ssp. nilotica as hypertensive; Balanites aegyptiaca for diabetes; Ceiba pentandra for relieve toothache; Geigeria alata for diabetes, cough, intestinal complaints and as antispasmodic; Guiera senegalensis for jaundice; Hibiscus sabdariffa in cases of hematuria and Justacia flava smeared on gingiva in cases of teeth pain. Keywords : Folk medicine; North Kordofan; Western Sudan; Medicinal plants; ethnobotany; conservation. Introduction Plants have always played a major role in the treatment of human traumas and diseases worldwide [1]. They have been used as sources of modern drugs, either by providing pure compounds, starting materials for partial synthesis of useful compounds or models for synthesis of new drugs [2]. Ethnopharmacological information is an important tool in drug discovery [3]. From the ethnobotanical point of view North Kordofan is one of the least studied regions of Western Sudan.
