Abstract

An ethnobotanical survey of reproductive behaviour in Vanuatu and an extensive literature search have resulted in the selection of five plant species (Asplenium nidus, Hemigraphis reptans, Homalanthus nutans, Dysoxylum gaudichaudianum, Pemphis acidula) used for purposes relating to human reproduction in that country. Preliminary screening was carried out to identify possible oestrogenic activity in these species as well as their effects on isolated rat uteri. Dysoxylum gaudichaudianum presented the most interest due to its spasmolytic activity (musculotropic type). Its mode of action has yet to be determined.

摘要

对瓦努阿图生殖行为的民族植物学调查以及广泛的文献检索，选定了该国用于与人类生殖相关目的的五种植物物种（鸟巢蕨、匍匐半枝莲、杨叶肖槿、高迪考氏樫木、酸脚杆）。进行了初步筛选，以确定这些物种中可能存在的雌激素活性及其对离体大鼠子宫的影响。高迪考氏樫木因其解痉活性（向肌型）而最受关注。其作用方式尚待确定。
