Seasonal pharmacological properties and alkaloid content in Cyrtanthus contractus NE Br.
Original language description
Representatives of the genus Cyrtanthus including Cyrtanthus contractus of the Amaryllidaceae family are widely used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of a range of ailments, including mental illness and age-related dementia. The alkaloidconstituents distributed within the genus, which are chiefly responsible for the biological activity of the derived extracts, are thought to be influenced by changes in the growing environment. Natural growing populations of C. contractus were tagged and collected every 15th day of each month over a 12 month period. The ethanol bulb extracts from each of the collected samples were evaluated for total alkaloid content, cytotoxic effects, acetylcholinesterase and cyclooxygenase inhibition as well as antimicrobial activities. Some notable bioactivities were recorded for extracts collected during certain months of the year, particularly the cytotoxic effects against human cancer cell lines and enzyme inhibition (AChE and COX). The cytotoxi
