Big Blue Lilyturf
Liriope muscari
Liriope muscari is a perennial plant often utilized in various traditional medicinal practices. The roots are traditionally employed for various therapeutic purposes, though specific cultural traditions are not detailed here. Scientific studies suggest that Saponin C may exhibit inhibitory activity against influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 in both in vitro and in vivo models. Additionally, the compound Rus-GXF has shown potential in suppressing inflammatory responses and improving barrier function in acute lung injury models, while DT-13 has demonstrated the ability to inhibit certain cancer cell proliferation in laboratory settings. No major safety issues or notable drug interactions have been recorded in the available data.

What the science says
- Saponin C from Liriope muscari showed inhibitory activity against both influenza A virus and SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and in vivo.
- Rus-GXF, from Liriope muscari, suppresses inflammatory responses and improves barrier function in acute lung injury by inhibiting JAK1.
- Nitrogen application up to 625 kg/ha optimally promotes growth, tuber yield, and nitrogen efficiency in Liriope muscari, while higher rates inhibit photosynthesis and reduce secondary metabolite accumulation.
- DT-13, from Liriope muscari, inhibited HCC cell proliferation and induced apoptosis by modulating aerobic glycolysis.
