The Meaning of Plants' Names: A New Discovering Approach to Its Medicinal and/or Toxic Properties

According to this study, half of the plants investigated demonstrate equivalence in the three dimensions analyzed (lexicons, "ethno," and pharmacological data from the scientific literature). Gastrointestinal and nervous system categories are among the most common in all three dimensions. Plant lexicons may be closely linked to the possible medicinal and/or toxic properties and the study of plant lexicons may represent one more approach for the search for new drugs, mainly considering the gastrointestinal, nervous, and parasites categories.PMID:38410808 | PMC:PMC10896657 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6678557
