Dasymaschalon lomentaceum
Dasymaschalon lomentaceum
Dasymaschalon lomentaceum is a plant from the Annonaceae family. No traditional uses have been documented for this species, though it shares its genus with other plants that are used in various traditional medicine practices. Scientific evidence suggests high hepatoprotective activity of Dasymaschalon lomentaceum against t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells; however, the specific application and efficacy need further investigation. Methanolic leaf extracts from four Annonaceae plants, including potential Dasymaschalon lomentaceum, showed apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest in certain cancer cells, but these effects varied among different cell types. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified for this plant, though further research is warranted to confirm its safety profile and specific applications.
