Artemisia (plant)
Artemisia
Artemisia, a plant traditionally used in various herbal practices but with no specific traditional uses recorded for this particular species, has been studied for its potential health benefits. Scientific research suggests that components of Artemisia annua, such as quercetin, may have anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects, potentially alleviating psoriasis by regulating ferroptosis and inhibiting the P53/SAT1/ALOX15 pathway. Additionally, studies indicate that Artemisia extracts might inhibit non-small cell lung cancer metastasis through the suppression of Netrin-1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Microbiome analysis shows shifts in microbial communities under probiotic and Chinese herb applications, with Paenisporosarcina correlating positively with nitrite accumulation. Safety data for Artemisia are currently inconclusive but do not indicate any major issues; similarly, there is no recorded information on drug interactions at this time.

What the science says
- The study reviews YCHD's adjuvant therapeutic effects and mechanisms in obstructive jaundice without definitive health claims.
- This study suggests that quercetin, an active component of Artemisia annua, alleviates psoriasis by regulating ferroptosis and potentially inhibiting the P53/SAT1/ALOX15 pathway.
- The study found that microbial communities shifted from Proteobacteria-dominated to Firmicutes-dominated under probiotic and Chinese herb applications, with Paenisporosarcina correlating positively with nitrite accumulation.
- Eupatilin from Artemisia inhibited non-small cell lung cancer metastasis by suppressing Netrin-1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
- Artemisinin content varied between geographical locations and commercial supplements showed inconsistent artemisinin levels.
- Ethanol extracts from sage and blueberry leaf exhibited high α-amylase inhibitory activity among tested medicinal plants.
- The ethyl acetate fraction of Artemisia ordosica Krasch. showed significant inhibitory activity against mast cell degranulation without notable cytotoxicity.
- DH suppressed liver tumor growth in mice, potentially through altering gut bacterial composition.
- Artemisia judaica, along with other plants tested, showed varying degrees of antioxidant, antimicrobial, and AMPA receptor modulatory activities.
- The n-butanol fraction of Artemisia fukudo inhibited MRSA biofilm formation and reduced bacterial attachment to host cells, suggesting potential anti-virulence activity.
- Artemisia argyi shows efficacy against various pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, with broad applications.
