The Boophone disticha bulb is used in the treatment of wounds, burns, rashes, ulcers and relief of various pains among other uses. The plant has been subjected to anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and toxicological screening together with other pharmacologically related studies. The preliminary phytochemical study was done using successive solvent extraction, fractionation and re-extraction methods. This procedure helped to design future processes of isolation while it provides an in-depth knowledge for next scientific research. This research includes an infrared spectroscopy analysis showing that there are many similarities between bulb and root alkaloid extracts, as well as bulb and root powders.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN El extenso y amplio uso terapéutico reportado para la especie Boophone disticha ha derivado en un incremento de los estudios fitoquímicos de la misma. El bulbo de la planta es usado en el tratamiento de lesiones, quemadas, picores, úlceras y remedio de varios dolores, además de otros usos. La planta ha sido objeto de tamizajes toxicologicos, mostrando actividad anti-inflamatoria, antibacterial, junto a otros estudios farmacológicos relacionados. En esta investigación se realizó un estudio fitoquímico preliminar usando métodos sucesivos de extracción, fraccionamiento y re-extracción. Este procedimiento ayudó a diseñar procesos futuros de aislamiento mientras provee de conocimentos avanzados para próximas investigaciones. Esta pesquisa incluye un análisis por espectroscopía infrarroja que muestra la existencia de muchas simitudes entre los extractos de alcaloides de las raices y el bulbo, así como de los polvos de ambas partes.]]></p></abstract>
