Abstract
AbstractWhile carrying out a phytochemical screening of alkaloids in Panamanian plants (1), the extract of Antigonum leptopus Hook. & Am. showed for the first time the presence of alkaloids. Since nothing was found in the literature reviewed on this plant, we undertook this preliminary study.Antigonum leptopus Hook. & Arn. is commonly known in Panama as “coral-vine”, coralito, enredadera, bellisima and cadena de amor. In Mexico, where it is supposed to have originated, it is called coronilla and chaclomacel. Other Central American names for this plant are confite, flor de San Miguel, San Diego, bellisima, colacion and confite rojo. It is interesting to note that it is cultivated in Florida, where it is called “confederate vine”. (2)
