Buckthorn
Frangula
Frangula is a plant traditionally not associated with any specific medicinal use. Studies have explored various plants for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, including Bryophyllum pinnatum and Kalanchoe gunniae, which showed significant effects in these areas; however, Frangula's specific efficacy has not been directly evaluated in such studies. A study on São Jorge Island documented 243 vascular plant taxa, with Frangula alnus among 46 species tested for anthelmintic activity, but the results did not conclusively determine its effectiveness against parasite larvae. Metabolomic profiles of several plants, including Frangula, were generated in another study, revealing species-specific metabolic patterns, though no specific findings related to Frangula's medicinal properties were reported. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Frangula.

Was die Wissenschaft sagt
- Die Studie zeigte, dass Extrakte aus Bryophyllum pinnatum und Kalanchoe gunniae signifikante entzündungshemmende und antioxidantische Aktivitäten aufwiesen, obwohl die Ergebnisse variierten.
- Die Studie dokumentierte 243 Vasenpflanzenarten auf der Insel São Jorge, Azoren.
- Frangula alnus war eine der 46 Pflanzenarten, die für ihre Wurmkampfaktivität geprüft wurden, aber sein Einfluss auf Parasitlarven wurde in diesem Studien nicht bestimmt.
- Die Studie erzeugte ein nicht-zielgerichtetes Metabol-Profil von Frangula, Cascara, Rhabarber und Senne, indem sie spezifische metabolische Muster der Arten aufzeigte.
