Chinese fleece flower
Reynoutria multiflora
Reynoutria multiflora, also known as Japanese knotweed, is a traditional medicine with roots in East Asian practices. It has been traditionally used for various purposes such as treating rheumatism and inflammation, though specific uses vary among different traditions. Scientific evidence indicates that while Reynoutria multiflora alone may not have significant adverse effects or interactions, it can potentially exacerbate immune-mediated liver injury when combined with Cullen corylifolium. Additionally, studies suggest that PM and polygalacic acid from the plant suppress prostate cancer growth by targeting CDC25B and inducing cell-cycle arrest. Metabolomic analysis has identified numerous gallic acid and catechin-based metabolites in processed Reynoutria multiflora, highlighting potential health benefits. Notably, no major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this herb to date.

Lo que dice la ciencia
- El tratamiento combinado con Reynoutria multiflora y Cullen corylifolium puede agravar el daño hepático mediado por el sistema inmunológico en comparación con el tratamiento con cualquiera de los hierbas por separado.
- "PM y la ácido xantogalálico de este lo suprimen el crecimiento del cáncer de próstata al actuar sobre CDC25B, induciendo una detención en la fase G2/M del ciclo celular."
- El sulfato de colesterol se identificó como un biomarcador potencial para el daño hepático inducido por Polygonum multiflorum basado en el análisis omómico.
- El estudio identificó 259 metabolitos basados en ácido gálico y 112 metabolitos basados en catequina en Reynoutria multiflora procesada, mostrando cambios en sus niveles.
