Phytoremediation of copper-contaminated soil by Artemisia absinthium: comparative effect of chelating agents
AbstractPhytoremediation is a promising method for the removal of toxic trace elements, specifically of copper, from the contaminated soil in the mining regions of Armenia. Thereby, the objectives of our study were the assessment of copper accumulation capacity and phytoremediation suitability of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.), a potential metal hyperaccumulator, as well as the identification of the influence of some chelating agents and their combinations on copper phytoremediation effectiveness. The results of studies have shown thatA. absinthium is a relatively well-adapted plant species with the ability to grow in ...

The effects of < em > Artemisia < /em > methanol extracts and ferulic acid, rutin, rosmarinic acid, and quercetin on micronucleus distribution on human lymphocytes
Nat Prod Res. 2021 Oct 16:1-4. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2021.1990918. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMethanol extracts of A. absinthium, A. annua, A vulgaris, A. scoparia, and A. alba from Serbia at concentrations of 1.00; 2.00 and 4.00 μg/ml, and as pure compounds identified in examined extracts (ferulic acid, rutin, rosmarinic acid, and quercetin) were examined for their effects on micronucleus distribution in human lymphocytes in vitro. All extracts greatly reduced the number of micronuclei in the concentration of 2.00 μg/ml comparing to the control, whereby A. alba extract exhibited the most prominent effect on decreasin...

The Role of Traditional Plant Knowledge in the Fight Against Infectious Diseases: A Meta-Analytic Study in the Catalan Linguistic Area
Infectious diseases represent, as a group, the main cause of mortality in the world. The most important reasons are multidrug-resistant pathogens, the rapid spread of emerging diseases aggravated by globalization, and the extended reach of tropical and vector-borne diseases resulting from continued climate change. Given the increase in these diseases and the limited effectiveness of antibiotics, traditional knowledge can constitute a useful tool to address these new health challenges. The aim of this work is to analyze extensively the available ethnobotanical data linked to infections and infestations in the Catalan lingui...

Evaluation of the phytotoxic effect of the essential oil from Artemisia absinthium
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2021 Oct 4;226:112856. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112856. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe chemical profile and the phytotoxicity of Artemisia absinthium essential oil (EO) were investigated to evaluate its potential value as a biopesticide for food safety purposes. A total of 54 compounds were identified in A. absinthium EO, with the most abundant constituents being eucalyptol (25.59%), linalool (11.99%), and β-myrcene (10.05%). The EO, linalool, and a mixture of three major components exhibited potent suppressive activity against four receiver species; however, eucalyptol and β-myrcene showed a...

Progress on the study of the anticancer effects of artesunate
Oncol Lett. 2021 Nov;22(5):750. doi: 10.3892/ol.2021.13011. Epub 2021 Aug 27.ABSTRACTArtesunate (ART) is a derivative of artemisinin that is extracted from the wormwood plant Artemisia annua. ART is an antimalarial drug that has been shown to be safe and effective for clinical use. In addition to its antimalarial properties, ART has been attracting attention over recent years due to its reported inhibitory effects on cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Therefore, ART has a wider range of potential clinical applications than first hypothesized. The aim of the present review was to summarize the latest researc...
