Alchemica Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I have quite a bit of free Heteropterys angustifolia (Mariposa; Red Wing), if you get interested. Can do a few people. I planted a rooted plant today. If anyone has more info on uses and chemistry etc, keen to hear While this plant is poorly characterised from what I can work out, CNS (anxiolytic, antidepressant, improving learning and memory) and antioxidant effects and the protective activities of reproductive male organs are the most important biological activities reported for species of Heteropterys. Flavonoids are the chemicals most conspicuous, following by potentially toxic aliphatic nitro compounds (also potentially antibacterial and anti-viral etc) and hydroxycinnamic acids identified in Heteropterys [1] . H. angustifolia was found to contain hiptagin (1, 2, 4, 6-tetra-3-nitropropanoyl-β-D-glucopyranoside). The fresh roots gave a very strong positive test for nitro compounds while the fresh aerial parts showed a weakly positive. In contrast, the heat-dried samples exhibited a weak or negative test to these potentially toxic constituents They may have potential as a source of new adaptogenic substances. Another similar plant, Heteropterys aphrodisiaca, endemic to the Brazilian scrubland regions, is traditionally used in folk medicine as an aphrodisiac, a stimulant and in the treatment of nervous weakness.
