| Sumario: | Peumus boldus Molina (Monimiaceae) is a medicinal plant
known in Brazil as "boldo" or "boldo-do-chile", and its leaves are popularly used in digestive and hepatic diseases.
A pharmacobotanical study was carried out, macro and microscopically features were illustrated and described,
in an attempt to complement the fourth edition of the Brazilian Pharmacopoea monograph. Some special
characters can be used to identify this drug: revolute margined leaves, typical color and texture, covering stellate
trichomes, secretory cells, hypoestomatic mesophyll, anomocytic stomata, and crystals. Boldine, the major alkaloid
found in this species, exhibited potent antioxidant activity and an unprecedented anticholinesterasic effect,
both demonstrated through autobiographic assays. |
