| Description | A chemical as well as a biological screening was performed on fresh frozen plant material (root, stem, leaves, fruit) of Kanahia laniflora (Asclepiadaceae). The chemical tests were positive for cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carbohydrates and amino acids. The plant showed no antimicrobial or phototoxic activity. The Hippocratic evaluation revealed a definite indication of sympathetic stimulation, CNS depression, diuretic activity and peripheral vasodilatation, and a slight indication of psychotropic activity and a metabolic poison. Volledige plante met vrugte van Kanahia laniflora (Asclepiadaceae) is aan sowel primêre chemiese as biologiese evaluering onderwerp. Die voortoetse is op gevriesde vars plantmateriaal uitgevoer. Hartglikosiede, flavonoïede, fenoliese verbindings, koolhidrate en aminosure is aangetoon, maar geen antimikrobiese of fototoksiese aktiwiteit is waargeneem nie. Die Hippokratiese evaluering toon definitiewe aanduidings van simpatiese stimulasie, sentrale senuweestelsel (SSS)-onderdrukking, diuretiese aktiwiteit en perifere vasodilatasie, en in mindere mate psigotropiese aktiwiteit en die teenwoordigheid van ’n metaboliese gif. | |
