| anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of bursera copallifera. | the plant species bursera copallifera (dc) bullock is used in traditional medicine to treat inflammation. the leaves of this plant can be prepared as an infusion to treat migraines, bronchitis, and dental pain. | 2015 | 26664022 |
| anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of six pentacyclic triterpenes isolated from the mexican copal resin of bursera copallifera. | bursera copallifera (burseraceae) releases a resin known as "copal ancho" which has been used, since pre-colombian times, as ceremonially burned incense and to treat tooth ache, tumors, arthritis, cold, cough, and various inflammatory conditions; however, its anti-inflammatory potential is poorly studied. the aim of the present study was to isolate, quantify, and to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of triterpene compounds isolated from the copal resin of b. copallifera. | 2016 | 27784308 |
| in vitro nematicidal effects of medicinal plants from the sierra de huautla, biosphere reserve, morelos, mexico against haemonchus contortus infective larvae. | twenty extracts from plants from sierra de huautla biosphere reserve, morelos, mexico were evaluated against haemonchus contortus infective larvae in an in vitro assay. the plant species evaluated were bursera copallifera, b. grandifolia, lippia graveolens, passiflora mexicana, prosopis laevigata, randia echinocarpa and urtica dioica. the plants were separated into their parts and macerated with different solvents (n-hexane, acetone, ethanol and methanol). an in vitro assay was used to evaluate ... | 2008 | 18053304 |
| diversity and genetic structure of the mexican endemic epiphyte tillandsia achyrostachys e. morr. ex baker var. achyrostachys (bromeliaceae). | the monoecious, bird-pollinated epiphytic tillandsia achyrostachys e. morr. ex baker var. achyrostachys is an endemic bromeliad of the tropical dry forests of mexico with clonal growth. in the sierra de huautla natural reserve this species shows a host preference for bursera copallifera (sessé & moc ex. dc) bullock. as a result of deforestation in the study area, b. copallifera has become a rare tree species in the remaining forest patches. this human-induced disturbance has directly affected th ... | 2004 | 15319228 |
| dispersal limitation of tillandsia species correlates with rain and host structure in a central mexican tropical dry forest. | seed dispersal permits the colonization of favorable habitats and generation of new populations, facilitating escape from habitats that are in decline. there is little experimental evidence of the factors that limit epiphyte dispersion towards their hosts. in a tropical dry forest in central mexico, we monitored the phenology of dispersion of epiphyte species of the genus tillandsia; we tested experimentally whether precipitation could cause failures in seed dispersal and whether seed capture di ... | 2017 | 28158320 |
