Plectranthus hadiensis

Plectranthus hadiensis

Plectranthus hadiensis, also known as Royalty or Kafir Royal, is a plant native to Madagascar. While traditional uses for this plant are not well-documented, studies have shown promising results in its biological activity. A study identified 26 terpene synthase genes in Plectranthus hadiensis and confirmed the functional expression of one gene (PhTPS1) involved in limonene synthesis. Additionally, research has found that a compound from this plant, Roy, demonstrated significant antitumor activity against glioblastoma cell lines through mechanisms such as G2/M arrest and apoptosis induction. However, scientific evidence for its traditional medicinal uses is currently limited. Safety profiles indicate no major issues have been recorded, and there are no known drug interactions reported at present.
