Dioscorea floribunda
Dioscorea floribunda is a plant traditionally unrecorded in any specific medical or folk practices. Scientific studies have identified elemol as a significant component of its leaves, comprising 41% of the essential oil. In vitro and in vivo testing revealed that compound 10 derived from this plant exhibited notable antiproliferative and moderate anti-inflammatory properties. However, the plant did not show significant effects on methane production or protozoa population in similar tests among other medicinal plants evaluated. The regeneration of Dioscorea floribunda plants from cryopreserved shoot tips requires optimization of plant growth regulators during recovery culture. No major safety concerns have been recorded for this plant, and there are no reported drug interactions associated with its use.

ما يقوله العلم
- المركبات 10 أظهرت نشاطًا مضاد للانتشار المضاد للسرطان والنشاط الالتهابي الخفيف ضد خلايا سرطان الثدي والالتهاب.
- تحتوي أوراق Dioscorea floribunda على غlands متعددة الخلايا وأنتج زيتًا أساسيًا يحتوي على elemol كعنصر رئيسي.
- وجدت الدراسة أن بين أوراق 21 نباتًا طبيًا وعطرية تم اختبارها، لم تظهر Dioscorea floribunda أي تأثيرات ذات أهمية على إنتاج الميثان أو عدد البكتيريا البروتوزوائية في пробирة.
- وجدت الدراسة أن تحسين وسط التكاثر بعد التجميد باستخدام محفزات نمو معينة للنباتات سمح بالتح cultivar من طلقات الأوراق المحفوظة بطرق التبريد لديوسكوريا فوليباندا.
