Erect Spiderling
Boerhavia erecta
Boerhavia erecta es una planta que se encuentra tradicionalmente en la familia Nyctaginaceae y tiene sus raíces en las prácticas de medicina tradicional, aunque no se documentan usos específicos. Las investigaciones científicas han identificado dos nuevos compuestos a partir de esta planta, uno de los cuales muestra una inhibición fuerte de la alfa-glucosidasa, mientras que el otro presenta actividad débil hacia la misma enzima. Además, se ha encontrado un nuevo virus begomovirus, Boerhavia golden mosaic virus (BoGMV), que infecta plantas de Boerhavia erecta en República Dominicana, lo que indica posibles implicaciones para la cultivo y el uso. La fracción butanólica de Bidens engleri y la fracción metanol de Boerhavia erecta demuestran una alta capacidad antioxidante, aunque no se ha establecido efectos definitivos sobre la salud. No existen problemas de seguridad importantes o interacciones farmacológicas registradas con esta planta.
