AbstractThis study was designed to isolate, chemically characterize, and pharmacologically evaluate the active principles present in a crude extract from the bark of Hymenaea martiana. β-Sitosterol-3-O-glycoside and three rhamnosides (eucryphin, engelitin and astilbin) were identified. As demonstrated previously with an alcohol extract from H. martiana, the glycoside eucryphin (29.5-236 μM) caused a concentration-dependent rightward displacement of the bradykinin (BK) concentration response curve in the isolated rat uterus. In contrast, astilbin (22-176 μM) and engeletin (21-92 μM) caused only a discrete displacement to the right of BK-induced contractions. Acetylated astilbin (18-72 μM) and eucryphin (13-53 μM) caused a parallel and concentration-dependent displacement to the right of BK concentration-response curves associated with slight depression of the maximal contraction. However, the antagonistic actions of these glycosides were found to be non-selective against BK, since at the same concentration...
