Attenuation of quorum sensing regulated virulence functions and biofilm of pathogenic bacteria by medicinal plant Artemisia annua and its phytoconstituent 1, 8-cineole.
The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacterial pathogens is a serious public health concern. A significant therapeutic target for MDR infections is the quorum sensing-regulated bacterial pathogenicity. Determining the anti-quorum sensing abilities of certain medicinal plants against bacterial pathogens as well as the in-silico interactions of particular bioactive phytocompounds with QS and biofilm-associated proteins were the objectives of the present study. In this study, 6 medicinal plants were selected based on their ethnopharmacological usage, screened for Anti-QS activity and Ar
PubMed: 37728140An ethnobotanical survey on the medicinal and edible plants used by the Daur people in China.
BACKGROUND: The Daur people are one of the 55 minority ethnic groups in China and have lived in Northern China for 300 years. In traditional Daur medicine, medicinal and edible plants (MEPs) are utilised for health benefits and therapeutic purposes; however, related ethnobotanical knowledge is rarely reported, which is disadvantageous for the sustainable development of these MEPs. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews with 122 informants, six focus group discussions, and a resource survey were conducted in a Daur minority nationality area in Inner Mongolia from 2015 to 2020, and the data statist
PubMed: 38790060Neuroprotective and anti-epileptic potentials of genus Artemisia L.
The Genus Artemisia L. is one of the largest genera in the Asteraceae family growing wild over in Europe, North America, and Central Asia and has been widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of various ailments. Phytochemical and psychopharmacological studies indicated that the genus Artemisia extracts contain various antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds and possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antimalarial, and antitumor activity. Recently, increasing experimental studies demonstrated that many Artemisia extracts offer a great antiepileptic potential, which was
PubMed: 36339595Ethnobotanical survey of the traditional antiparasitic use of medicinal plants in humans and animals in Laghouat (Southern Algeria).
BACKGROUND AND AIM: An ethnobotanical survey was carried out among the inhabitants of the Aflou region of Laghouat (Southern Algeria). This study was considered as a first step toward the identification of new bioactive antiparasitic molecules. The preservation and documentation of this traditional knowledge will ensure its continuity and transmission from one generation to another, especially because of the emergence of resistant parasites and the lack of references caused by the lack of work in this area; therefore, we intended to inventory and collect the maximum amount of information on me
PubMed: 37041995Artemisia: a promising plant for the treatment of cancer.
Due to the promising features of the ancient herbal plant Artemisia, its biologic activity has been investigated for use in modern medicine. In this regard, Artemisia and its active phytochemicals have been introduced as having antimalarial, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antispasmodic, anthelmintic, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agents. In the case of cancer treatment, the plant species and its bioactive compounds target multiple pathways. Here we reviewed the scientific literature published up until 2018, which have explained the cytotoxic activity of the Artemisia species a
PubMed: 31784199Contexto Científico
Mientras que un estudio in vitro busca medir la inhibición de una bacteria en una placa de Petri, y un estudio in vivo busca medir la respuesta de un organismo completo, este estudio etnoveterinario busca mapear el conocimiento acumulado por generaciones. Los estudios sobre Artemisia atlantica y especies del género en el norte de África incluyen documentación de su uso etnoveterinario [PMID 38790060], análisis de la composición de aceites esenciales [PMID 34131369], evaluación de actividad antioxidante [PMID 37711006], y potencial antimicrobiano de extractos [PMID 36339595].
Seguridad y Precauciones
En lo que respecta al periodo de gestación y la etapa de lactancia, el uso de Artemisia atlantica debe evitarse estrictamente debido a la presencia de compuestos volátiles y terpenos que pueden poseer propiedades emenagogas, es decir, sustancias que pueden estimular el flujo sanguíneo en la región pélvica y potencialmente inducir contracciones uterinas. No existe evidencia clínica suficiente para garantizar la seguridad del feto, por lo que el riesgo de aborto espontáneo o malformaciones congénvieras no puede descartarse. En el caso de la lactancia, se desconoce si los metabolitos secundarios de la planta se excretan a través de la leche materna y su impacto en el desarrollo neurológico del lactante, por lo que la precaución es la norma. Para la población pediátrica, específicamente niños menores de 12 años, el uso no está indicado. El sistema metabólico de los niños, particularmente la madurez de las enzimas hepáticas encargadas de la detoxificación, es distinto al de los adultos, lo que aumenta el riesgo de toxicidad aguda. En cuanto a las interacciones farmacológicas, se debe tener extrema precaución si se consume simultáneamente con anticoagulantes como la warfarina; los compuestos de la familia Asteraceae pueden alterar la cascada de coagulación, incrementando el riesgo de hemorragias.
