Abstract

Cissampelos pareira L. (Menispermaceae) is a widely used medicinal plant, also used to treat bites of venomous animals, particularly snakes. Ophidian accidents are a serious public health problem in Argentina where the Bothrops genus of snakes is responsible for 97% of these accidents, peculiarly B. diporus (“yarará chica”) responsible for 80% of them. In the northeast of the country (Corrientes Province), C. pareira is commonly used against the venom of B. diporus; its use is described in almost all-ethnobotanical literature of the countries where the plant grows. In vitro and in vivo antivenom activities of C. pareira extracts from plants collected at two different phytogeographic regions of Corrientes (Argentina) were evaluated against B. diporus venom. The seasonal influence on the chemical composition of extracts was also studied to determine the associated range of variability and its influence on the antivenom activity. Besides, an evaluation of the chemical composition of the volatile extract was performed to assess its chemical stability. These results support the ethnopharmacological use of this species. Moreover, the presented data demonstrate that certain flavonoids may mitigate some of the venom-induced local tissue damages.
