Chinese horse-chestnut
Aesculus chinensis
Aesculus chinensis, commonly known as Chinese horse chestnut, is a traditional medicine plant native to East Asia. Its use in traditional practices has not been extensively documented; however, it is known for its seeds and leaves which have shown comparable anti-inflammatory and hypolipidemic effects. Scientific studies indicate that optimized ultrasound-assisted extraction using deep eutectic solvents can yield higher amounts of aescin from the seeds than conventional methods. Over 300 chemical constituents have been identified in Aesculi Semen, with saponins being the primary bioactive components. The severity of Cameraria ohridella damage to horse chestnut species varies depending on crown illumination, reflecting differences in chlorophyll content and defense mechanisms among varieties. Safety profiles for Aesculus chinensis are currently favorable with no major issues or drug interactions recorded.
