Abstract
Medicinal plants show great interest today because of its multiple physiological effects. They contain a diversity of chemical compounds, phytochemicals, with demonstrated important biological activities. Buddleja scordioides Kunth is a plant that shows a wealth of important phytochemicals, which could contribute towards the prevention of various health problems such as gastrointestinal disorders. The main causes of gastrointestinal pathology are mediated by inflammatory processes caused by several factors. B. scordioides HBK (KUNTH) is commonly used for the treatment of diarrhea and stomach pain (colic). Several studies shown presence of flavonoids such as rutin, quercetin and quercetrin and kaempferol (also found in Buddleja genus). Other isolated compounds include some hidroxicinnamic and hidroxibenzoic acids, verbascosides, siringin, some iridoids, sesquiterpenes and fenilpropanoids. All of them related with anti-inflammatory activity. The present review is an opinion of the state of art anti-inflammatory activity of B. scordioides and gastrointestinal disorders.
