The medicinal uses of local flora from the Callejón de Huaylas, Department of Ancash, northeastern Perú, are reported. This geographical area has an old tradition of herbal healing. A total of 33 species have been documented through interactions with village elders, traditional doctors and herbalists. Of the 33 medicinal plant species surveyed in the Callejón de Huaylas, six have not been previously reported, seven have received only minor phytochemical coverage in the literature, and the medicinal uses of seven other plants have not been corroborated with traditional medicinal reports from around the world. The traditional medicinal uses of six medicinal plants have been corroborated with previously published reports but their biological activities have yet to be confirmed in the laboratory. The medicinal uses of four other plants have been corroborated with previously published reports and their biological activities have been confirmed in the laboratory. The purported medicinal use of three plant species could not be confirmed in the laboratory.
报告了秘鲁东北部安卡什省瓦伊拉斯峡谷当地植物群的药用价值。该地理区域有着悠久的草药治疗传统。通过与村里的长辈、传统医生和草药师交流，共记录了33种植物。在瓦伊拉斯峡谷调查的33种药用植物中，有6种此前未被报道，7种在文献中仅有少量植物化学研究报道，另外7种植物的药用价值尚未得到来自世界各地传统医学报告的证实。6种药用植物的传统药用价值已得到先前发表报告的证实，但它们的生物活性尚未在实验室中得到确认。另外4种植物的药用价值已得到先前发表报告的证实，且它们的生物活性已在实验室中得到确认。3种植物所谓的药用价值在实验室中无法得到证实。
