Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC extracts acting as enzyme modulators: digestion, inflammation, and hemostasis

Achyrocline satureioides is popularly known for its richness in phenolic compounds and medicinal properties (anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hepatoprotective). The present study aimed at broadening the knowledge about pharmacological potential exerted by aqueous ethanolic extracts of A. satureioides. These were characterized HPLC tested their modulatory action on phospholipases A2 proteases snake venoms. In addition, they activities digestive enzymes. Snake venoms used as tools since have enzymes with high functional structural homology to human results demonstrate that act enzymatic inhibitors or potentiators, interfering processes related hemostasis, such coagulation thrombus dissolution. anti-genotoxic activity inhibitions suggests use prevention and/or treatment several pathologies. New studies could provide information how different interact.
