Plectranthus barbatus, medicinal plants, pharmacologyAbstract
Despite the main use of Plectranthus barbatus Andr. for gastric disturbances, a great number of pharmacological actions were tested and confirmed for this species, involving compounds from leaves, stem and roots. Among the pharmacological aspects already studied and confirmed are: hypotensive, positive inotropic, cardiovascular, bronchodilator, adenylate cyclase activation, platelet aggregation inhibition, antitumoral, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory. In order to contribute for a better knowledge of this species we present a revision of the main publications involving chemical and pharmacological studies published from 1970 to 2003.
