| Description | A chemical and biological screen was performed on Gomphrena celosioides (Amaranthaceae) known as prostrate globe amaranth. Chemical tests showed the presence of saponins, steroids, phenolic substances, flavonoids, amino acids, sugars and betacyanins in the plant. The roots exhibited a weak antibacterial activity against three Gram positive bacteria. An action on the autonomic nervous system of rats was shown by all the plant parts, when tested by the method of Malone and Robichaud. Sympathetic and parasympathetic symptoms were observed. ’n Chemiese en biologiese ondersoek is op Gomphrena celosioides (Amaranthaceae), bekend as kruipknopamarant, uitgevoer. Chemiese voortoetse toon die aanwesigheid van saponiene, steroïede, fenoliese verbindings, flavonoïede, aminosure, suikers en betasiane in die plant aan. ’n Swak anlibakteriële aktiwiteit word deur die wortei teen drie Gram-positiewe bakterieë vertoon. Met die metode van Malone en Robichaud is ’n inwerking op die outonome senuweestelsel van rotte deur al die plantdele wat getoets is, aangetoon. Simpatiese en parasimpatiese simptome is waargeneem. | |
