Bioactivity of certain medicinal latexes used by the Ese'ejas.

Abstract:

:Latexes from Croton erythrochilus, Ficus inspidia and Sapium marmieri used traditionally as medicinal by the Ese'ejas were analyzed for bioactivity. The assays run were: the brine shrimp toxicity microplate bioassay, the wheat rootlet growth inhibition and the DNA-methyl green bioassay. The three latexes showed cytotoxicity to the brine shrimp and concentration-related growth inhibition. No interaction with the DNA-methyl green complex was observed with any of the three latex samples. The field bioassays described has demonstrated to be useful for supporting ethnobotanical information.
