Neuroprotective 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: 31784199Traditionally used polyherbals in a southern African therapeutic context.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: In African traditional medicine, there are several plant species that are used in combination with either other plant species or non-plant derived combinations such as sugar and honey, salt and vinegar, milk, fat etc. This review examines the role of these combinations and postulates the scientific and therapeutic validation of such combinations. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study reviewed the ethnopharmacological literature and documented the use of southern African plant combinations to find a scientific rationale for such combinations, and provide recommendations f
PubMed: 35017037An updated inventory of medicinal and ritual plants of southern Africa.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: For the first time in two decades, a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the medicinal and ritual plants of southern Africa is presented. This data is analysed and compared with a previous survey done in 2002. STUDY AIM: The main aim is to update the checklist of medicinal and ritual plants of southern Africa and to determine the number of new records since 2002. We also provide a high-level perspective on the selection of medicinal and ritual plant species in southern Africa, a taxonomic analysis of the new checklist as well as a chronological perspective on
PubMed: 38763369Contexto Científico
**Revisión sobre la actividad citotóxica y anticancerígena (PMID 31784199):** La pregunta de investigación fue determinar si los componentes de Artemisia podrían combatir células cancerosas. Esto significa que, aunque la planta tiene beneficios, el exceso o el uso incorrecto puede ser peligroso para la salud, subrayando la importancia de la dosificación. La transición de un efecto observado en un laboratorio a un tratamiento seguro y efectivo en personas es un proceso complejo que requiere ensayos clínicos rigurosos.
Seguridad y Precauciones
La seguridad en el uso de Artemisia ferganensis debe abordarse con extrema cautela debido a la presencia de compuestos bioactivos que pueden alterar procesos fisiológicos complejos. En lo que respecta al embarazo y la lactancia, el uso de esta planta está estrictamente contraindicado. La evidencia toxicológica sugiere que dosis elevadas de especies de Artemisia pueden provocar toxicidad reproductiva, lo cual implica un riesgo de interferencia con el desarrollo embrionario o fetal. No existen estudios clínicos que garanticen la ausencia de efectos teratogénicos (malformaciones congénitas) en humanos, por lo que se debe evitar su consumo durante la gestación. En la lactancia, aunque la transferencia de metabolitos a la leche materna no está totalmente cuantificada, el riesgo de neurotoxicidad en el lactante es una preocupación clínica válida, dado que los sistemas biológicos de los bebés son altamente sensibles a los terpenoides y otros compuestos volátiles. Para niños menores de 12 años, el uso no es recomendable.
