Angiopteris evecta

Angiopteris evecta, comúnmente conocida como la pteridofito gigante o la pteridofito rey, es una planta tradicional encontrada en regiones tropicales y subtropicales de Asia Oriental. Aunque su uso en medicina tradicional no ha sido documentado extensamente, estudios han mostrado resultados prometedores con compuestos aislados de esta planta. Se indican que los compuestos furanosos de Angiopteris evecta pueden suprimir significativamente la viabilidad celular NSCLC y inducir apoptosis mediante modulación del camino MAPK, sugiriendo posibles propiedades antitumorales. Además, angiopterosido, un compuesto aislado del rizoma, ha demostrado actividad antiinflamatoria y antileucémica potente. El análisis estructural revela que Angiopteris evecta comparte un patrón arquitectónico ordenado con su pariente fósil Weichselia reticulata, destacando su significancia evolutiva. Notablemente, no se han registrado problemas de seguridad importantes o interacciones medicamentosas para esta planta, aunque más investigación es necesaria para comprender completamente sus posibles aplicaciones y efectos.
