Clavel de pozo
Eclipta prostrata
Eclipta prostrata is a traditional herb that has not been extensively used in any specific medical traditions. Scientific studies have shown promising results, particularly with its leaf extract-derived carbon dots exhibiting enhanced catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol and showing antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Additionally, luteolin from Eclipta prostrata has demonstrated significant anti-gastric cancer effects by inhibiting the AKT1/HIF-1A signaling pathway. The ethanol extract reduced gastric mucosal bleeding and improved coagulation parameters in heat-induced gastric hemorrhage models. While no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded, further research is needed to confirm these findings comprehensively.
