Aerial parts.
The
ground
ivy
is
a
small plant, very
common
, with trailing stems, branches floriferous erquidas, small leaves cordate. The flowers have
a
Goblet tubule with 15 nerviaciones bilabiada Corolla and
a

Chemical composition.
This species
has
not been studied from
a
phytochemical. Contains triterpenes, beta - sitosterol, flavonoids (Cimarosa, cosmiósido, hyper, isoquercitrósido) and
a
small amount of
essential
oil with ketones terpénicos (pinocanfona) It
has
been possible to prove the existence of chemotype based on the
nature
of the Sesquiterpenes: glecomufurano or glecomanólido. It seems that it
has
not confirmed the presence of marrubiína.
Pharmacological data.
Preliminary tests have shown that the
ivy
ground
stimulates the
activity
of the adenilato cyclase plaqetaria. His division leads to the isolation of the principle responsible for its
activity
. This is
a
fatty acid, octadecadienoic hydroxylated in 9, 9 - hydroxy acid - 10 - trans - 12 - cis - octadecadienoic. Biological tests show that this is
a
partial agonist at the level of prostaglandin E1 receptor and D2. The
ground
ivy
possesses anti - inflammatory properties in tropism Bronchopulmonary substantially identical to those of
marrubio
.
Employment.
The drug, little known, is used in the treatment of acute
benign
bronchial and in the symptomatic treatment of cough. The drug criomolida no acute and subacute (3 g / kg and 300 mg / kg / day, rat, per os)
