Amur Adonis
Adonis amurensis
Adonis amurensis, a traditional medicine plant native to East Asia, has not been extensively documented in historical or cultural medical traditions. Scientific research indicates that optimized ultrasonic extraction from its roots can enhance cardiac glycoside content by 51.30%, suggesting potential cardiovascular benefits. Additionally, studies have shown that compounds from Adonis amurensis may inhibit the migration and invasion of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA FLS) while reducing proinflammatory cytokine expression without affecting cell proliferation or apoptosis. Furthermore, cardiac glycosides extracted from this plant demonstrated potent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. A novel Streptomyces species, named Streptomyces adonidis sp. nov., was isolated from Adonis amurensis and exhibits antifungal properties against Fusarium moniliforme. To date, no major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
