Bull. 29(6) 1186—1190 (2006) Vol. 29, No. 6 The Antispasmodic Activity of Buddleja scordioides and Buddleja perfoliata on Isolated Intestinal Preparations Alma Rosa CORTÉS,* Alba Jady DELGADILLO, Marcela HURTADO, Adriana Miriam DOMÍNGUEZ-RAMÍREZ, José Raúl MEDINA, and Kazuko AOKI Departamento Sistemas Biológicos, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco; Calzada del Hueso 1100, Colonia Villa Quietud, México, D.F., México, C.P. 04960. Received October 5, 2005; accepted March 3, 2006 The antispasmodic activity of extracts from the aerial parts of Buddleja scordioides and Buddleja perfoliata (family: Scrophulariaceae) was studied on isolated tissue preparations from rabbit and guinea pig intestine. The chloroformic extract from the plants exhibited a significant relaxation on the spontaneous contraction of isolated rabbit jejunum at concentrations ranging from 1 to 400 mg/ml, and also caused an inhibitory effect on both K؉ -and Ca2؉ induced contractions in the same tissue. The extracts at moderate doses (50 mg/ml) reduced 5-hydroxy tryptamine (5-HT), acetylcholine and histamine induced contractions on isolated guinea pig ileum. Therefore, B. scordioides and B. perfoliata possess similar relaxant mechanism of action, in view of the fact that both inhibit K؉ induce contraction and act through serotoninic, muscarinic and histaminic receptors. So, these data support the idea that the extracts may interfere either with calcium mobilization from intracellular stores, or with cal- cium interaction with regulatory proteins (e.g., calmodulin), or in other steps in the calcium signaling pathway. This leads us to suggest that the spasmolytic effect of both Buddleja species on smooth muscular contractility are due to the same or similar compounds occurring in these two species, which might be present in similar quanti- ties.

  • Bill Carr Plant Inventory – Mimms Unit
    Plant Species Observed on the Mimms Ranch, Presidio County, Texas 19 September 2019 Draft This incomplete list includes only those species observed during field work conducted by Bill Carr and friends on 26-28 March 2012, 16-19 July 2012, 20-23 August 2012, 20-21 September 2012, 25-29 August 2014, 15-18 April 2015, 16-18 August 2016, 13-14 August 2017 and 16-18 September 2019. Observers included Jonathan Baize, Debbie Benesh, Philip Boyd, Brush Freeman, Hillary Loring, Mary Lou Price, Robert and Lana Potts, Diane Sherrill, and Casey Wade. Many other species are present on the ranch and will be detected with future effort. In this edition, scientific names follow a new single-source reference: Flowering Plants of Trans-Pecos Texas and Adjacent Areas (Powell & Worthington, 2018). This long-awaited effort by three of the most respected botanists in West Texas will doubtless be the “bible” for botanists in the area for years to come, and this edition follows their decisions about taxonomy and nomenclature. Yes, some species names have changed, and some genera have moved to different families, but that’s as is should be. Selected synonyms are provided in brackets. Common names mostly follow the same source, although some from the USDA Plants database (http://plants.usda.gov/java/) are thrown in for good measure. Codes in nativity column: E = exotic, i.e., not native to Texas; N = native to Texas; N+ = endemic to (found only in) Texas. Codes in Form column: FA = annual forb; FAV = annual forb vine; FB = biennial forb; FP = perennial forb; FPV = perennial forb vine; FQ = aquatic plant; GA = annual grass or grasslike plant; GP = perennial grass or grasslike plant; PP = perennial fern or fern ally; S = shrub; T = tree; WV = woody vine.
