Thermopsis
Thermopsis
Thermopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. Traditionally, there are no known uses for Thermopsis in any specific medical traditions. Scientific evidence has identified eight new compounds from Thermopsis lanceolata seeds, with one showing significant antifungal activity against B. cinerea. Additionally, extracts from Thermopsis turcica flowers have demonstrated notable antioxidant, antimicrobial, and wound healing properties. Two compounds (25 and 39) were found to significantly promote Triticum aestivum seedling growth by enhancing various physiological activities. Labile carbon addition was observed to mitigate the negative effects of nitrogen addition on arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, particularly for S. baicalensis. To date, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Thermopsis.
