Carapichea ipecacuanha
Carapichea ipecacuanha is a plant traditionally used for digestive complaints in Brazilian folk medicine. The plant initiates ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis through a nonenzymatic Pictet-Spengler reaction, similar to Alangium salviifolium, but uses distinct monoterpene precursors. Scientific evidence suggests that extracts from Carapichea ipecacuanha may enhance the killing potential of NK cells against tumor targets in vitro, indicating possible immunomodulatory effects. Additionally, ectopic expression of CiLOG7 in internodal segments facilitates de novo shoot regeneration without phytohormone treatment. In plant cell culture studies, bamboo cells produced N 6-benzyladenine N 9-β-D-glucopyranoside (BA-9G) under lignification-inducing conditions with BA, showing moderate cytokinin activity and lower cytotoxicity at high concentrations. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

الاستخدام التقليدي
ما يقوله العلم
- كلاً من Carapichea ipecacuanha و Alangium salviifolium يبدأان في تكوين الالكاولويدات من خلال تفاعل بيكيت-سپنغر غير المعدني، على الرغم من أنهم يستخدمون مقدريات متربنتيرية مختلفة.
- وجدت الدراسة أن السحب من Carapichea ipecacuanha يعزز القدرة على قتل الخلايا القاتلة الطبيعية ضد أهداف سرطانية في البيئة المختبرية.
- التعبير الخارج عن CiLOG7 في الجلد الخارجي للأقسام الداخلية يساهم في توليد نباتات جديدة بدون معالجة بواسطة الهرمونات النباتية في ipecac.
- تنتج خلايا البردي N-6-بنزيلادينين-N-9-β-D-غلوكوبيروانوسيد (BA-9G) عند تكاثرها مع BA، مما يجعل لها نشاط كيتوكنين متوسط وسموم أقل عند Konzentrationen عالية.
