Abstract

El género Erythroxylum contiene especies utilizadas por los pueblos indígenas de América del Sur desde antes de la domesticación de las plantas. Dos especies, la E. coca y E. novogranatense, han sido utilizadas durante miles de anos, en parte por su contenido de alcaloides de tropano. Si bien el abuso de la cocaína ha impactado a la sociedad en múltiples formas, estas especies y sus parientes silvestres contienen recursos aprovechables para el beneficio de la humanidad en forma de alimentos, productos farmacéuticos, productos fitoterapéuticos y otros metabolitos de alto valor. En esta resena, describimos el estado actual del conocimiento sobre los miembros del género y los avances recientes en el campo de la biología molecular y la bioquímica.
