Annonacées

Annonaceae · Custard Apple

Xylopia aethiopica is part of the Annonaceae family, traditionally with no recorded uses. Scientific evidence suggests that it may induce slight decreases in bilirubin levels and platelet counts at higher doses, potentially leading to thrombocytopenia and anemia. The methanolic extract and ethyl acetate fraction of Desmos chinensis leaves have shown significant analgesic, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arthritic activities. Regarding the Annonaceae family, a study noted that Caribbean Parkinson's disease patients, more exposed to Annonaceae fruits, exhibited slightly more severe motor and cognitive symptoms compared to mainland France patients, though this finding is not widely supported by other studies. Safety for Xylopia aethiopica has shown no major issues recorded. There are currently no reported drug interactions associated with the use of Desmos chinensis leaves or any members of the Annonaceae family.

Ce que dit la science

  • Xylopia aethiopica a induit des baisses faibles des niveaux de bilirubine et des taux de plaquettes à des doses plus élevées, suggérant potentiellement une thrombocytopenie et une anémie. D PMID
