Dictamnus angustifolius
Dictamnus angustifolius
Dictamnus angustifolius, commonly known as Fraxini Cortex in traditional Chinese medicine, is a plant traditionally used for its purported antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. While there are no specific recorded traditional uses for this particular species, it shares similar applications with other Dictamnus plants. Scientific evidence indicates that the plant contains quinoline alkaloids and limonoids, which exhibit various biological activities including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic effects. Three novel limonoids isolated from its root bark showed varying degrees of cytotoxicity in different cell lines. Additionally, certain ester compounds derived from obacunone demonstrated enhanced insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata larvae. Safety records for Dictamnus angustifolius show no major issues reported, and there are currently no recorded drug interactions associated with its use.
