Isolation of a hypotensive substance from seeds of Casimiroa edulis. 1978

X Lozoya-Legorreta, and D Rodríguez-Reynaga, and J Ortega-Galván, and R Enriquez-Habib

The hypotensive activity of the alcoholic and aqueous extracts of C. edulis has been previously reported. The present paper describes the pharmacological studies of a substance isolated from the alcoholic extract. Preliminary chemical and pharmacological data allowed a histamine-like compound to be proposed as the hypotensive principle. Studies were performed by means of in vitro and in vivo animal experiments.
