Pandanus tectorius
Pandanus tectorius
Pandanus tectorius, commonly known as thatched screwpine or pandan, is a plant native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented in any specific medical traditions. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits, including significant inhibition of virulence factor production and biofilm formation in Chromobacterium violaceum by leaf extracts at sub-MIC concentrations. Additionally, flupyradifurone and buprofezin derived from Pandanus tectorius have shown effectiveness in reducing hala scale infestations and improving plant health. In cell culture studies, PTF (presumably a derivative or extract) improved cell viability and reduced oxidative stress in high glucose-induced Schwann cells by activating the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway. Phenolic- and saponin-rich fractions from fruit extracts also exhibited varying bioactivities upon optimization. Safety concerns are minimal with no major issues recorded, and there have been no reported drug interactions as of current research findings.
