Large-flower motherwort
Leonurus macranthus
Leonurus macranthus is a plant traditionally used in East Asian medicine but lacks specific recorded traditional uses. Scientific evidence suggests that it contains polyoxygenated labdane diterpenoids, some of which show potential for inhibiting nitric oxide production in microglial cells. Additionally, HGK nanosuspensions derived from Leonurus macranthus have demonstrated enhanced antitumor efficacy against breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, though the broader applicability of this finding remains to be fully explored. The plant is found in areas rich in forest biodiversity, particularly on algific talus slopes in South Korea. Safety concerns are currently minimal, with no major issues recorded; similarly, there are no reported drug interactions at present.
