Abstract

Ipomoea stans, commonly known as "tumbavaqueros", is a plant from the Convolvulaceae family, used in Mexican traditional medicine to treat nervous system disorders such as epilepsy, insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness, as well as digestive and muscular issues. This narrative review compiles detailed database information on its anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, antispasmodic, and antioxidant pharmacological activity based on previous studies. Additionally, it highlights its potential as a source of bioactive compounds, although further studies are needed to validate its safety, efficacy, and traditional use. The aim of this work is to provide an updated review of the literature on the phytochemical compounds and pharmacological activity of Ipomoea stans.
