The genus Heliopsis (Heliantheae; Asteraceae) in Mexico and the alkamides stored in its roots
The genus Heliopsis belongs to the tribe Heliantheae in the Asteraceae family. It includes 14 species, most of them endemic to Mexico. One of the species, Heliopsis longipes, is utilized in traditional medicine. The high level of alkamides in its roots has already been chemically characterized. The...

description | The genus Heliopsis belongs to the tribe Heliantheae in the Asteraceae family. It includes 14 species, most of them endemic to Mexico. One of the species, Heliopsis longipes, is utilized in traditional medicine. The high level of alkamides in its roots has already been chemically characterized. The study of these metabolites is displayed in a comparative analysis on the presence of alkamides in six Mexican species of Heliopsis. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the alkamides stored in roots of each species is presented. Chemotaxonomic importance of alkamides in this genus is also discussed. In this work we review and update the bibliography referring to the taxonomy of the genus. |

Incluye 14 especies, la mayoría endémicas a México y aún no todas totalmente definidas. Una de ellas, Heliopsis longipes, utilizada en la medicina tradicional, se ha caracterizado por el alto contenido de alcamidas en sus raíces. El estudio de tales metabolitos ha derivado en una serie de investigaciones sobre su presencia en otros representantes del género Heliopsis de México. El escrito sintetiza y actualiza la información bibliográfica referente a la taxonomía del género y se presentan los resultados obtenidos del análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de las alcamidas detectadas en raíces de seis especies. Se discute la importancia quimiotaxonómica de estos metabolitos en el mismo género.
