The effects of the hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts of Salix taxifolia were studied on Wistar rat ileum. The chloroform extract produced a relaxation of the smooth muscle. At doses of 2.5 mg/mL it produced a relaxing effect of 10.35% and 31.9% at 1 and 2 min after its administration. Hexane

✦ Synopsis
Aqueous extracts of Loeselia mexicana, Calendula officinalis, Teloxys graveolens, Oenothera roseae and
Castilleja tenuiflora were tested on the heart activity of male Wistar rats. It was found that C. officinalis, T. graveolens, L. mexicana and O. roseae inhibited the heart contractile activity rising to 100% inhibition at doses of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 mg/mL respectively. However, C. tenuiflora increases the rate of the heart activity at doses from 0.1 to 0.6mg/mL.
