Diseases, such as cancer, peptic ulcers, and diabetes, as well as those caused by drug-resistant infectious agents are examples of some of the world's major public health problems. (Schltdl.) Schiede ex Standl is an endemic tree to Mexico. Its stem bark has been used medicinally since pre-Hispanic times, but in recent decades it has been scientifically proven that it has properties that help counteract some diseases; extracts with organic solvents of the plant are outstanding for their anticancer, gastroprotective, and antimicrobial properties; terpenes and long-chain phenols have been identified as the main active compounds. Currently, overharvesting is causing a sharp reduction in natural populations due to an increase in demand for the stem bark by people seeking to improve their health and by national and transnational companies seeking to market it. Because of the growing interest of the world population and the scientific community, we reviewed recent studies on the bioactive properties of . Through the orderly and critical compendium of the current knowledge of , we provide a reference for future studies aimed at the rational use and protection of this valuable endemic natural resource.
癌症、消化性溃疡和糖尿病等疾病，以及由耐药性感染因子引起的疾病，都是世界上一些主要公共卫生问题的例子。（施尔德）施德·埃克斯·斯坦德尔是墨西哥的一种本土树种。自西班牙殖民前时代起，其茎皮就被用于医药领域，但近几十年来，科学证明它具有有助于对抗某些疾病的特性；该植物的有机溶剂提取物因其抗癌、胃保护和抗菌特性而备受瞩目；萜类化合物和长链酚类已被确定为主要活性成分。目前，由于寻求改善健康的人们以及寻求将其商业化的国内和跨国公司对茎皮需求的增加，过度采伐导致自然种群数量急剧减少。由于全球人口和科学界的兴趣日益浓厚，我们回顾了关于……生物活性特性的近期研究。通过对当前……知识的有序且批判性的汇编，我们为旨在合理利用和保护这一珍贵本土自然资源的未来研究提供参考。
