Erigeron breviscapus Hand.-Mazz.
Erigeron (syn. Stenactis Cass.) is a genus of about 390 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.Erigeron species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bucculatrix angustata, Coleophora squamosella (which feeds exclusively on E. acris), Schinia intermontana, Schinia obscurata (both of which also feed exclusively on Erigeron), Schinia sexata (which feeds exclusively on E. glabellus) and Schinia villosa. The most widely used common name, fleabane, is shared with related plants in several other genera; another common name is summer starwort.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter, is metabolized by the successive action of GABA transaminase (GABA-T) and succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH). Inhibition of both enzymes in brain tissues increases the GABA level and may have therapeutic applications in neurological diseases. Erigeron breviscapus ethanol extract was evaluated for their effect on both enzymes.
