Pharmacology

Piper marginatum (Cake bush) tincture In Brazilian folk medicine, this plant is reputed for its analgesic/anti- inflammatory properties.
The roots are used as diuretic; extract of the leaves prepared in hot water is used to treat toothache, rheumatism, tumor and bleeding skin wounds (when applied topically).
From the roots of Piper marginatum, cioweacin, apiole, isoasarone, pipern~argine, marginatine and N-isobutyl-2-trans-4-trans-octadienaniide were isolated (the only amide detected in this plant).
Since 2,4,5-trioxiphenylpropanoids as y-asarone, a-asarone and asaricin has been reported to have antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis 11, 2-methoxy- 4,5-metylenedioxypropiophenonem, may be an explanation for some activities showed by Piper marginatum.
The predominant vasoconstrictor component of P. marginatum detected is noradrenaline, whose activity is apparently preserved in the crude extract and produces vasoconstriction after oral administration. Due to the forgoing Cake bush works against edema (excessive build up of fluid in body tissues or an increase in tissue mass).
