Stachytarpheta cayennensis
Stachytarpheta cayennensis
Stachytarpheta cayennensis is a plant native to Brazil. Traditionally, its use has not been documented in any specific medical practices or traditions. Scientific studies have shown potential for Stachytarpheta cayennensis as an anthelmintic and anti-inflammatory agent; however, further research is needed to confirm these findings. The aqueous extract demonstrated bronchoprotective effects and showed promise against SARS-CoV-2 entry with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 91.65 µg/mL. However, the leaf extract also exhibited varying degrees of biochemical and hematological changes and liver and kidney toxicities in rats, some of which were irreversible, indicating potential risks. Notably, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant to date.
