Anatomical and histochemical study of Sechium edule (Jacq.) Sw.
View through CrossRef
Sechium edule (Jacq.) Sw. tiene un papel importante nutricional y terapéuticamente en la medicina popular, especialmente utilizado como agente hipotensor. Para ampliar la información farmacológica sobre esta especie, este trabajo tiene como objetivo el estudio histoanatómico de sus hojas. Se prepararon muestras con secciones transversales y paradérmicas de la hoja para el estudio microscópico. Para el análisis histoquímico, se utilizaron reactivos específicos para los metabolitos objetivo. A través del análisis realizado se identificaron estructuras anatómicas para la correcta identificación de la especie estudiada. La histoquímica mostró la presencia de alcaloides, triterpenos y esteroides, compuestos lipofílicos y lignina. Esta información sobre la localización de los compuestos no tiene precedentes. Así, el trabajo amplía el conocimiento sobre la especie y la familia Cucurbitaceae.
Sechium edule (Jacq.) Sw. plays an important role as for its nutritional and therapeutical use in folk medicine, being especially used as a hypotensive agent. In order to expand the pharmacobotanical information on this species, this work aims to perform the histoanatomical study of its leaves. Samples containing cross-section and paradermic sections of the leaf were prepared for microscopic study. For the histochemical analysis, specific reagents were used, according to the targeted metabolites. Through the performed analysis, it was possible to identify the anatomical structures that confer the correct identification of the studied species. The histochemistry showed the presence of alkaloids, triterpenes and steroids, lipophilic compounds and lignin. This information on the localisation of the compounds is unprecedented. Thus, the work expands the knowledge about the species and the family Cucurbitaceae.
