西洋参C.Mart。,俗称“Juca”或“Pau-ferro”,属于豆科,并被归类为巴西的本地和特有物种。大量描绘其民族植物学的研究,化学成分,和生物活性存在于文献中。本研究旨在系统地审查解决植物学方面的出版物,在流行医学中的用途,植物化学成分,和C.ferrea的生物活性。搜索的重点是2015年至2020年3月使用Scopus的出版物,佩里奥迪科斯斗篷,PubMed,谷歌学者,和ScienceDirect数据库。树叶,水果,种子,和来自C.ferrea的树皮在流行医学中用于治疗影响多种系统的疾病,包括循环系统,免疫,心血管,消化性,呼吸,泌尿生殖系统,肌肉骨骼,和连接系统。植物化学研究中最常见的化学类别是类黄酮,多酚,萜类化合物,单宁,皂苷,类固醇,和其他酚类化合物。在文献中引用最多的C.ferrea的提取物和分离化合物的生物学特性是抗菌的,抗真菌药,抗氧化剂,抗增殖,抗炎,和治愈的潜力。然而,仍需要进一步的研究来澄清其传统用途之间的联系,活性化合物,和报道的药理活性,以及详细的研究,以确定C.ferrea的毒理学特征。
Caesalpinia ferrea C. Mart., popularly known as \"Jucá\" or \"Pau-ferro\", belongs to the Fabaceae family, and is classified as a native and endemic species in Brazil. Numerous studies that portray its ethnobotany, chemical composition, and biological activities exist in the literature. The present study aimed to systematically
review publications addressing the botanical aspects, uses in popular medicine, phytochemical composition, and bioactivities of C. ferrea. The searches focused on publications from 2015 to March 2020 using the Scopus, Periódicos Capes, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases. The leaves, fruits, seeds, and bark from C. ferrea are used in popular medicine to treat disorders affecting several systems, including the circulatory, immune, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and conjunctive systems. The most commonly found chemical classes in phytochemical studies are flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and other phenolic compounds. The biological properties of the extracts and isolated compounds of C. ferrea most cited in the literature were antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and healing potential. However, further studies are still needed to clarify a link between its traditional uses, the active compounds, and the reported pharmacological activities, as well as detailed research to determine the toxicological profile of C. ferrea.
