Hierba sapo
El género Eryngium comprende más de 250 especies, algunas de las cuales se emplean como especias y plantas medicinales en distintas partes del mundo (Seidemann, 2005). Dos especies de hierbas anuales, E. heterophyllum y E. carlinae, se encuentran en todo México y en algunas partes de Estados Unidos (Estrada y Morales, 2002).
Un estudio realizado por Klein-Junior et al. (2016) concluyó que varias especies de Eryngium, debido a su acción inhibidora de la monoaminooxidasa (MAO), tienen una aplicación potencial como fuente de prometedores metabolitos secundarios bioactivos del sistema nervioso central, especialmente relacionados con el tratamiento de diversos trastornos neurodegenerativos.
Los estudios han demostrado que los extractos metanólicos de E. heterophyllum poseen principios activos que tienen una acción prometedora para el tratamiento de enfermedades protozoarias infecciosas, como la tripanosomiasis, por ejemplo (Molina-Garza, et al, 2014).
