SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING OF Mikania glomerata Sprengel
Abstract
The Mikania glomerata is a plant belonging to the family Asteraceae which is widely used in
popular medicine due to their actions bronchodilator, antiasthmatic, expectorant and antitussive.
The aim of this study was to conduct a scientific exploration and technological plant Mikania
glomerata. The scientific exploration was performed by searching the articles published from 2002
to the present in the databases PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science using the scientific
name of the plant, observing the database in which it was found and the year of publication. And
the technological prospecting was conducted in the databases European Patent Office, World
Intellectual Property Organization, United States Patent and Trademark Office and the National
Institute of Intellectual Property selecting patents that had the scientific name or popular name of
the plant in the title or abstract, observing year and country of filing. We found 52 articles and 21
patents, most therapeutic or aesthetic covering and chemical composition of the plant. This study
showed that there is interest in the plant studied, but there is still scope for further research as the
area of operation of our laboratory (neurochemistry).
