ResumoPharmacological screening for cardiotonic, hypotensive or bronchodilator activities was performed on 50 plant species depending on their traditional medical use by the Cuban population. Eleven of these species may have promise as therapeutic agents, but additional preclinical pharmacological and toxicological studies are needed to establish their therapeutic effectiveness and safety in human disease.
