Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 2008: Plants Used in Mexican Traditional Medicine for the Management of Urolithiasis: A Review of Preclinical Evidence, Bioactive Compounds, and Molecular Mechanisms
a Avila-Nava
Urolithiasis (UL) involves the formation of stones in different parts of the urinary tract. UL is a health problem, and its prevalence has increased considerably in developing countries. Several regions use plants in traditional medicine as an alternative in the treatment or prevention of UL. Mexico has known about the role of traditional medicine in the management of urinary stones. Mexican traditional medicine uses plants such as Argemone mexicana L., Berberis trifoliata Hartw. ex Lindl., Costus mexicanus Liebm, Chenopodium album L., Ammi visnaga (L.) Lam., Eysenhardtia polystachya (Ortega) Sarg., Selagi...

The in vitro anti-platelet activities of plant extracts from the Asteraceae family
Biomed Pharmacother. 2022 Mar 10;149:112809. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.112809. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFoods prepared from the Asteraceae family are known to exert in vitro antioxidant activity. For example, roots and fruit extracts from dandelion were found to possess antioxidant and anti-platelet potential in two in vitro models (washed blood platelets and whole blood). However, little is known of other extracts from the Asteraceae, such as chicory leaves, green lettuce leaves, red lettuce leaves, and Jerusalem artichoke roots, on the hemostatic system. Of all the tested extracts from the Asteraceae, dandelion roo...

Anticancer Effects of < em > Taraxacum < /em > via Cell Cycle Arrest, Necrosis, Apoptosis, and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Am J Chin Med. 2022 Feb 3:1-19. doi: 10.1142/S0192415X22500227. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDandelion (Taraxacum species) is a wild plant with over 2500 species. Flavonoids, phenolic compounds, saponins, sesquiterpenes, and sugars have been detected in the organs of Taraxacum, and for centuries it has been used in traditional medicine for the relief and treatment of various diseases. However, details of its working mechanism remain unclear. Bioactive compounds in herbal extracts generally have low yields, which makes their isolation and purification intensive in terms of time and cost. Here, to assess their versatility a...
