| description | The medicinal plant guayacan is recommended for health problems derived from diabetes mellitus. The species most often associated in the literature with the common name guayacan is Guaiacum coulteri. For this study, anatomical and histochemical comparisons were made of wood samples from five markets in Mexico City and of Guaiacum coulteri wood deposited in the xylarium MEXUw, housed at the Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. The market samples were anatomically dissimilar, not only to Guaiacum coulteri but also to each other. The histochemical comparison showed higher lipid and glucoprotein contents in the parenchyma of the market samples than in G. coulteri, whose parenchyma is scarce. These results demonstrate the importance of anatomical characterization of species that are commercialized for medicinal use in order to assure an accurate identification. The histochemical reactions of samples enabled the structural differences among them to be observed with greater precision, and provided more information on their cellular composition; however, these results could be complemented with a subsequent phytochemical study that would provide more information on the compounds in each sample. |

El guayacán como planta medicinal se recomienda para problemas de salud derivados de la diabetes mellitus. En la literatura, la especie que cuenta con más reportes con el nombre común de guayacán esGuaiacum coulteri. Se caracterizaron anatómica e histoquímicamente muestras de la madera de guayacán procedentes de cinco mercados públicos de la Ciudad de México y una de G. coulteri obtenida de la xiloteca MEXUw, del Instituto de Biología de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Al contrastar la estructura anatómica de los especímenes comprados con los de la xiloteca, ninguna correspondió con G. coulteri y además entre ellos fueron diferentes. En la comparación histoquímica se encontró mayor contenido lipídico y glucoproteíco en las células de parénquima de las muestras de mercado que en el escaso tejido de G. coulteri. Con este trabajo se demostró la importancia de caracterizar las especies que se comercializan como medicinales mediante su análisis anatómico, para una plena identificación. La reacción histoquímica realizada permitió resaltar con mayor precisión sus diferencias estructurales y dar información acerca de su estructura celular; sin embargo, estos datos podrían complementarse con un estudio fitoquímico posterior que provea mayor información acerca de los compuestos de cada muestra.
