betulina essential oil and 31.6–73.2% of A. crenulata essential oil) (Collins and Graven 1996; Kaiser et al. 1975). Pulegone is considered to be the primary compound in European pen- nyroyal (Mentha pulegium) responsible for the abortifacient activity of this plant (Anderson et al. 1996). Although no reports of abortifacient activity of buchu were identified, use of buchu during pregnancy is not recommended.
No information on the safety of buchu during lactation was identified. While this review did not identify any con- cerns for use while nursing, safety has not been conclusively established.

in Vitro pharmacological studies
The compound julibrin II (4’-O-methylpyridoxine) was found to induce arrhythmias in isolated frog hearts. Other related compounds also isolated from silk tree did not induce arrhythmias (Higuchi et al. 1992). The compound 4’-O-methylpyridoxine is also found in ginkgo seed and is believed to be the compound associated with seizures reported after excessive consumption of ginkgo seed. The seizures are thought to be due to vitamin B6 deficiency, which
can be caused by 4’-O-methylpyridoxine (van Beek and Montoro 2009; Wada et al. 1985). No cases of seizures have been reported in association with traditional use of silk tree.

tudiesSilk tree bark contains the compound 4’-O-methylpyridoxine, a compound that can cause vitamin B6 deficiency symptoms
and is believed to be responsible for the toxic effects (sei- zures and gastrointestinal symptoms) of ginkgo seed con- sumption (see Ginkgo biloba seed entry) (Mooney et al. 2009; Wada et al. 1985). No toxic effects of silk tree bark have been reported in association with use in traditional Chinese med- icine (Bensky et al. 2004; Chen and Chen 2004).
Cytotoxicity
Saponin fractions of silk tree exhibited cytotoxic activity in vitro (Ikeda et al. 1997).

In the Ames test for mutagenicity with Salmonella
typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100, some mutagenic activ- ity of an ethanol extract of lady’s mantle was observed in TA98 but not in TA100. Mutagenic activity in this and other plant extracts tested in the study was consistent with quer- cetin levels in the plants and the mutagenic activity was attributed to the quercetin (Schimmer et al. 1988). Reviews of quercetin have indicated that although mutagenic effects have been observed in vitro, such effects are not seen in vivo (Harwood et al. 2007).
