Catharanthus trichophyllus
Catharanthus trichophyllus
Catharanthus trichophyllus is a plant traditionally used in certain herbal practices but lacks specific documented traditional uses. Scientific research has identified several bioactive compounds, including nine alkaloids from its roots and 39 compounds from its leaves, some of which show potential analgesic, thrombolytic, and membrane-stabilizing activities. Studies have shown that UA-NPs (unspecified active substances nanoparticles) more effectively inhibited liver cancer cell growth and tumor development compared to free UA, while transformed Catharanthus trichophyllus roots are 100 to 1000 times more sensitive to auxin than normal roots. The isolation of cathaphylline from the roots and the identification of various compounds in the leaves suggest potential therapeutic applications, though current scientific evidence is limited. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

Ce que dit la science
- Les UA-NPs ont inhibé plus efficacement le croissance des cellules du cancer hépatoïde et le développement du tumour par rapport à l'UA libre.
- Les racines de Catharanthus trichophyllus transformées par un certain ADN d'Agrobacterium sont 100 à 1000 fois plus sensibles à l'aуксин, que les racines normales.
- The study isolated nine alkaloids from Catharanthus trichophyllus roots and described the structure of a new one called cathaphylline.
- Un total de 39 composés ont été identifiés chez les feuilles de Catharanthus ovalis, certains montrant des propriétés potentiellement analgésiques, thrombolytiques et stabilisatrices des membranes.
