Rosa cymosa
Rosa cymosa
Rosa cymosa, commonly known as prairie rose, is a shrub native to North America. While traditional uses for Rosa cymosa are not well-documented, it shares similar properties with other Rosa species that have been used in various traditions. Scientific studies on Rosa chinensis, Rosa cymosa, and Rosa indica have shown varying levels of antioxidant activity in vitro. A polysaccharide from the fruit of Rosa cymosa, PRCP, has demonstrated immune-modulating effects by influencing P38 and JNK protein phosphorylation in macrophages. Additionally, the complete chloroplast genome of Rosa 'Limoncello' was sequenced and found to be similar to that of Rosa cymosa, highlighting genetic similarities within the Rosa genus. The polyphenolic extract from Rosa cymosa fruit has shown strong antioxidant activity and suppressed inflammatory responses by regulating the NF-κB pathway and autophagy. To date, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Rosa cymosa.
