Winter Jasmine
Jasminum nudiflorum
Jasminum nudiflorum, a flowering plant native to China, has not been traditionally used for medicinal purposes. Scientific studies have identified various metabolites from its petals and noted that it contains a novel branched galacturonan degraded by polygalacturonases in Bacteroides spp. Additionally, 46 metabolites were found in Jasminum nudiflorum and Forsythia viridissima petals combined. The plant was classified as one of the semihazardous tree species in a study site. Silver nanoparticles synthesized from its flower extract demonstrated antifungal activity against Alternaria longipes and showed antioxidant properties, though these findings are preliminary. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Jasminum nudiflorum.
