Chemical structure of scammonin I, one of the primary chemical
constituents of jalap
Jalap is a cathartic drug,
its use largely archaic in the West, consisting of the tuberous roots of Ipomoea purga, a convolvulaceous plant growing on the
eastern declivities of the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico at an elevation of 5000 to 8000
ft. above sea level, more especially about the neighbourhood of Chiconquiaco on the eastern slope of the Cofre de Perote in the state of Veracruz.
Jalap
has been known in Europe since the beginning of the 17th century, and derives
its name from the city of Xalapa in Mexico, near which it grows, but its botanical
source was not accurately determined until 1829, when Dr. J. R. Coxe of
Philadelphia published a description.
The
ordinary drug is distinguished in commerce as Vera Cruz jalap, from the name of
the port whence it is shipped. Jalap has been cultivated for many years in India,
chiefly at Ootacamund, and grows
there as easily as a yam, often producing clusters of tubers weighing over 9
lb; but these, as they differ in appearance from the commercial article, have
not as yet obtained a place in the English market. They are found, however, to
be rich in resin, containing 18%. The plant also has been grown in Jamaica, at first amongst the cinchona trees, but more recently in new
ground, as it was found to exhaust the soil. Besides Mexican or Vera Cruz
jalap, a drug called Tampico jalap has been imported for some years in
considerable quantity. It has a much more shrivelled appearance and paler
colour than ordinary jalap, and lacks the small, transverse scars present in
the true drug. This kind of jalap, the purga de Sierra Gorda of
the Mexicans, was traced byDaniel Hanbury to Ipomoea
simulans.
Ipomoea
jalapa is yet another morning glory species from which jalap is obtained; it
was first scientifically described (asConvolvulus jalapa) by Linnaeus. However, it is not of great
commercial importance. As it also occurs in Veracruz, it was long confused with I.
purga, even by such eminent botanists as David Don, Thomas Nuttall or C.J.W.
Schiede. Consequently, the name I. jalapa is often
seen as an invalid junior homonym referring
to I. purga, in particular in sources older than 1989 (when the
confusion was finally resolved). Throughout much of the 20th century, the I.
jalapa of Linnaeus was called I. carrizalia.
