In the present study, the pro-sexual effect of the cihuapatli (Montanoa tomentosa) and its possible pro-ejaculatory properties in spinal male rats were examined. Systemic administration of the aqueous crude extracts of Montanoa tomentosa exerted a pro-ejaculatory effect and produced an increase in the number of discharges in the ejaculatory motor patterns in the spinal rats. The Montanoa tomentosa induced ejaculatory responses included the expression of penile erections and penile movements and the potent expulsion of urethral contents and in some cases the expulsion of seminal plugs. The Montanoa tomentosa induced ejaculatory motor patterns were similar to that obtained after systemic oxytocin. Montanoa tomentosa and oxytocin-induced ejaculatory motor responses and the penile erections and movements were abolished by the pre-treatment with hexamethonium, a selective oxytocin antagonist. Present data show that the Montanoa tomentosa extract acts directly at the spinal system in charge of the expression of the ejaculatory motor patterns and suggest that the aqueous crude extract exerts its aphrodisiacs properties by increasing sexual potency acting as an oxytocic agent.

Cihuapatli, the Mexican zoapatle (Montanoa tomentosa) has an extensive ethnomedical history of use as a traditional remedy as an aphrodisiac and for reproductive impairments. During the study of the ejaculatory function in rats and by testing a set of Mexican plants with medicinal properties, we observed that crude extracts of Montanoa tomentosa facilitated ejaculation. Thus, we decided to analyze the possibility that this plant possessed sexual stimulant properties. Results: Altogether, these data reveal a facilitatory action of this extract on sexual activity and particularly on sexual arousal. Present findings provide experimental evidence that the crude extract preparation of M. tomentosa, used as a traditional remedy, possesses aphrodisiac properties.
