Angostura trifoliata

Angostura trifoliata

Angostura trifoliata is a plant native to certain regions of South America. While it has been included in traditional medicine, specific uses within these traditions are not well-documented. Scientific studies have shown that approximately half of 90 plants examined exhibited similar names, ethnobotanical data, and pharmacological properties related to medicinal and toxic effects. Research also identified several compounds as potential Factor Xa inhibitors with varying inhibitory activities without significant cytotoxicity, contributing to a high-level molecular phylogeny for Australasian Rutoideae. Notably, no major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
