Cullen corylifolium

Cullen corylifolium, also known as Australian tea tree or lemon ironwood, is a plant native to Australia. While it has been used in traditional medicine for various purposes, no specific traditional uses have been recorded. Scientific evidence suggests that the combined use of Cullen corylifolium with Reynoutria multiflora might exacerbate immune-mediated liver injury compared to using either herb alone. Additionally, four coumarins from P. corylifolia demonstrated varying cytotoxicity against certain cell lines in vitro. Compounds isolated from its seeds showed significant in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory effects and induced apoptosis and autophagy in HepG2 cells through multiple signaling pathways. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been reported, but further research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and risks.
