Laggera crispata
Laggera crispata
Laggera crispata is a plant that has not been extensively utilized in traditional medicine. Scientific studies have shown that its presence can influence local weed communities, with Acmella radicans negatively impacting both wasteland and cultivated land habitats. Additionally, research has isolated new lignans and known compounds from Laggera crispata, some of which exhibit inhibitory effects on bacteria and liver cancer cells. The complete chloroplast genome of the plant has been sequenced, revealing a length of 155,522 bp and indicating close relationships with Pluchea pteropoda and P. indica. Different origins of Laggera crispata can be distinguished by varying levels of chrysosplenetin and artemisinin content. No significant safety concerns or known drug interactions have been reported for this plant.
