Ambrosia arborescens
Ambrosia arborescens
Ambrosia arborescens is a plant traditionally not associated with any specific medicinal uses. Scientific studies have shown that its essential oil exhibits moderate anticholinesterase activity and limited antioxidant capacity, while microwave-assisted extraction using ethyl lactate yielded similar compound profiles but slightly higher antioxidant activity compared to traditional methanol maceration. The ethanolic extract demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease in tumor volume in rats with induced breast cancer. However, the aqueous extract at 2000 mg/kg caused mild congestion in kidneys and liver with increased biochemical parameters, though no significant toxicological changes were observed in other organs. To date, there are no major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions noted for Ambrosia arborescens.

Ce que dit la science
- L'extrait éthanolique d'Ambrosia arborescens a montré une diminution dose-dépendante du volume tumoral chez les rats présentant un cancer du sein induit.
- L'huile essentielle d'Ambrosia arborescens a montré une activité modérée anticholinestérase et une capacité antioxidant limitée.
- L'étude a montré que l'extraction assistée par micro-ondes utilisant le lactate d'éthyle a produit des profils de composés similaires et une activité antioxydante légèrement supérieure en comparaison avec la macération traditionnelle à l'alcool méthanol dans Ambrosia arborescens.
- L'extrait aquatique d'Ambrosia arborescens à la dose de 2000 mg/kg a provoqué une congestion légère aux reins et au foie avec des paramètres biochimiques augmentés, sans montrer de changements toxico-logiques significatifs dans les autres organes.
