Clerodendrum glandulosum
Clerodendrum glandulosum
Clerodendrum glandulosum is a plant traditionally used in various folk medicine practices for treating coughs, rheumatism, and diabetes. In traditional medicine, it is utilized across different regions to address these conditions. Scientific evidence suggests that the ethyl acetate fraction from its leaves exhibits significant anti-oxidative and mitochondrial protective effects, potentially upregulating PGC1α and TFAM. Additionally, a study indicated that an extract impregnated with silver nanoparticle-loaded chitosan-PEG hydrogel showed promise in diabetic wound healing, improving closure and matrix formation. The polyphenol-rich fraction of the leaf extract demonstrated anti-hyperglycemic and antioxidative effects in diabetic rats, comparable to standard treatments, though specific dosing information is not provided for these studies. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded, indicating a generally safe profile for this plant when used as traditionally practiced.
