Aleppine Oak
Quercus infectoria
Quercus infectoria, commonly known as the Turkish oak or gall oak, is a traditional medicinal plant used in various folk remedies. However, its specific traditional uses are not well-documented. Scientific studies have shown that Quercus infectoria exhibits robust multi-target activity in wound healing processes, particularly in diabetic ulcers, by modulating inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling phases. Additionally, it has been found to influence adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism, potentially inhibiting fat formation while promoting lipolysis. The plant also demonstrates efficacy in reducing the cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity of cadmium sulfide quantum dots when used as a coating material. Furthermore, alginate-Quercus infectoria gall hydrogel films have been noted for their good wound-fluid uptake, balanced moisture control, potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions are associated with Quercus infectoria based on current evidence.
