Euphorbe
Euphorbia
Euphorbia is a genus of plants widely distributed across various regions. Traditionally, there are no specific recorded uses for Euphorbia in any known medical traditions. Scientific evidence suggests that 3,3'-Di-O-methylellagic acid from Euphorbia humifusa Willd may have potential anti-prostate cancer properties by inhibiting cell viability and inducing apoptosis through VDAC1 up-regulation. Additionally, extracts from several Euphorbia species, such as Euphorbia esula and Eupatorium altissimum, exhibit significant larvicidal activity against sheep gastrointestinal nematode larvae, indicating possible applications in parasitic control. Citronella essential oils derived from Euphorbia showed strong inhibition of weed germination and growth, while orange essential oils had moderate effects, suggesting potential for bioherbicide use. Three novel Xenodidymella species were identified from Euphorbia kopetdaghi and Thymus transcaspicus, expanding the genus' known host range. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been noted for Euphorbia in current scientific literature.

Ce que dit la science
- L'acide 3,3'-diméthylellagique dérivé d'Euphorbia humifusa Willd inhibe de manière dose-dépendante la viabilité des cellules du cancer de la prostate et induit l'apoptose en augmentant l'expression de VDAC1.
- Cinq extraits, dont Euphorbia esula et Eupatorium altissimum, ont montré une activité larvicide significative contre les larves de nématodes gastriques du mouton.
- Les huiles essentielles de citronnelle ont montré une forte inhibition du germination et du développement des mauvaises herbes, tandis que les huiles essentielles d’orange ont eu des effets modérés, suggérant qu'elles pourraient être utilisées dans des stratégies de bioherbicides.
- Trois nouvelles espèces de Xenodidymella ont été identifiées chez Euphorbia kopetdaghi et Thymus transcaspicus, en élargissant le spectre d'hôte connu du genre.
- La formulation SNEDDS d'EK-16A a considérablement augmenté sa stabilité et son bio-disponibilité chez les rats, et a régulé le chemin de signalisation PI3K-AKT chez les macaques rhesus infectés par SHIV.
- Quatre composés ont été identifiés comme potentiellement actifs contre le NSCLC, avec la fraxétine montrant l'effet inhibiteur le plus puissant.
- Trente et une familles de plantes, dont Euphorbia balsamifera, ont montré des propriétés antifongiques et insecticides contre les ravageurs et maladies du maïs dans des conditions de laboratoire.
