✦ Synopsis


The present study evaluated the effect of methanol and dichloromethanol extracts obtained from the leaves and stems of Juniperus oxycedrus against neurotransmitter-induced contraction in different isolated tissues of rats and guinea-pigs. Diverse concentrations of these extracts inhibit the concentration curve response to histamine, serotonin and acetylcholine. These results contribute to explaining the use of this plant in folk medicine.

The pharmacological activity of the dichloromethanol extract of Schinus molle L. (SM-DCM) was analysed in in vitro models. Preincubation of the isolated guinea-pig ileum or rat uterus preparations with the extract (100 mg/mL) abolished the contractile effects of histamine and serotonin respectively.
