Cyperus articulatus activity, Cyperaceae properties, priprioca pharmacological properties, Cyperus articulatus medical and therapeutic activityAbstract
Cyperus articulatus L., belonging to the Cyperaceae family, is a plant species that has almost insignificant flowers at its ends. The stalks of the species produce tubers that, when cut, give off a fresh, woody and spicy smell; they are traditionally used in baths and in the manufacture of artisanal colonies in northern Brazil. In addition to use in cosmetics and perfumery, the plant also has medicinal and pharmacological properties. Among the pharmacological properties are the antimalarial, sedative, hepatoprotective, contraceptive effects on the central nervous system (CNS), insecticide, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, anthococcosis. The metabolites found related to the mentioned activities were cyperotundone, alpha-cyperone, mustacone for antimalarial activity in the chloroform extract of the priprioca rhizomes. In the decoction of rhizomes of C. articulatus flavonoids, saponins, sugars, triterpenes and polyuronides were found for sedative properties. Metabolites involved in hepatoprotective function, contraceptive effect and central nervous system effect were not found in the literature. The aromatic metabolites of mono- and sesquiterpenes have been related to insecticidal properties in the rhizome methanolic extract. In the ethanolic and chloroform extracts of rhizomes, the metabolites α and β-pinene were related to antimicrobial activity. The compounds sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes found in the essential oil of C. articulatus were related to anticancer properties. The phenolic compounds of the essential oil of C. articulatus were related to the antioxidant properties. The alkaloid compounds found in the extract of the rhizome of C. articulatus showed anticonvulsant activity. The mustakona metabolites and linoleic acid found in the rhizome extract of C. articulatus were directly related to the antioncocercal properties. The present work reviewed the medical, therapeutic and pharmacological properties of Cyperus articulatus.
