Cayaponia tayuya (tayuya or taiuiá) is a vine that grows in the Amazon region of South America, in the nations of Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. Its roots are used in herbal medicine.^[2]

Studies in rodent models have shown that several cucurbitacins isolated from tayuya may have anti-inflammatory properties^[3]^[4] and reduce damage from arthritis.^[5] Some cucurbitacins can be made anti-rheumatic agent.^[6]
