Abstract
CLAPE LAFFITA, Oneyda and ALFONSO CASTILLO, Alfredo. Pharmaceutical-toxicological characterization of medicinal plant Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (L). R. Bolli. Rev Cubana Farm [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.4, pp. 586-596. ISSN 0034-7515.
The objective of the monograph was the pharmacological and toxicological characterization of Sambucus nigra subspecies canadensis(L.) R. Bolli, a Cuban traditional plant with anti-inflammatory action, among others. Several pharmacological aspects such as phytochemical composition; scientifically tested properties attributed by the population; posology; adverse reactions; warnings; interactions; toxicity; precautions and counterindications were presented. It was concluded that the pharmaceutical and toxicological monograph of this plant provides full information as indispensable documentation to update national and international databases, with a view to developing new pharmaceuticals, particularly anti-inflammatory drugs with low adverse effect potential.
