P001- Murraya paniculata, AN ALTERNATIVE OF THE NATURAL AND TRADITIONAL MEDICINE TO THE DOORS OF THE PHYTOTHERAPY

The analgesic frictions of Muraya (Murraya paniculata), reported in the Natural Products Dispensary Guide (1992), of the MINSAP, constitute a therapeutic alternative for the relief of arthritic, arthrosic and rheumatic pains in people, fundamentally of the third age. Presently work was developed a multidisciplinary study that allowed to identify, among other elements, the economic contribution that has represented during the last two years, for our institution, the dispensation of the analgesic frictions of Murraya Paniculata; additionally by means of the application of an interview, were investigated the levels of acceptance, toward the natural product, and of trust toward the therapeutic activity that is attributed. It was evaluated, from the experimental point of view, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of the tincture obtained directly of the vegetable drug, were used for it, the experimental models of edema, induced by croto oil, in mice’s ear, as well as the test of the acetic acid and that of the hot plate. Preliminary studies were developed from the pharmacognostic and phytochemical point of view for the drug, and also for the tincture obtained starting from the same one. Approximately 30% of the net earnings obtained in our unit were due to the sell of this natural product. They were met superior values to 80% of effectiveness of the treatment with the same one. The pharmacological results for the analgesic properties were satisfactory. They were established some parameters of quality for the tincture obtained starting from the plant. The results of the whole study, in their majority, satisfactory, impose us the necessity of so much deepen pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluations, like in the pharmacological and toxicological area that allow us to not base alone the effectiveness, but also, the security of the natural product object of our study.
