muguet du Japon
Ophiopogon japonicus · Dwarf Lily-turf
Ophiopogon japonicus, commonly known as麦门冬 (mài mén dōng) in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a traditional plant used in East Asian medicine. Traditionally, it has been employed for various purposes such as nourishing yin and clearing heat, though specific uses vary among different traditions. Scientific evidence suggests that Ophiopogon japonicus may have several beneficial effects. Studies indicate that its compounds, particularly ophiopoginin D, show potential anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) properties by targeting the UCK2-SLC7A11 axis. Additionally, an aqueous decoction of the plant has been observed to alleviate pulmonary fibrosis through modulation of the HIF1A/TUBB3 axis-associated M2 macrophage polarization and arginine metabolic alterations. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings. Safety profiles for Ophiopogon japonicus appear favorable with no major issues recorded. There are currently no reported drug interactions associated with this plant, but further investigation is recommended to fully understand its safety profile in various contexts.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a montré que les microplastiques interrompent le plus significativement la dégradation du NH4+-N, principalement influencée par la taille des particules, la concentration et le type de polymère dans les infrastructures d'assainissement pluvial basées sur la nature.
- L'ophiopogine D a montré des effets antitumoraux en ciblant l'axe UCK2-SLC7A11 in vitro et in vivo.
- La décoction aqueuse d'Ophiopogon japonicus a significativement atténué la fibrose pulmonaire en modulant la polarisation des macrophages M2 et les altérations métaboliques de l'arginine associées à l'axe HIF1A/TUBB3.
- On a identifié un total de 14 métabolites chez MON-A, avec les conjugués glucuroniques étant les plus abondants parmi les espèces.
- Les sous-produits d'O. japonicus ont varié sur l'effet sur la performance de croissance des lapins carnivores au fil du temps, mais ont amélioré l'immunité intestinale sans modifier la communauté microbienne ou les niveaux d'acides gras volatils.
- L'étude a montré que diverses extraits végétaux ont le potentiel d'améliorer les symptômes de l'échec cardiaque, avec des extraits offrant différents avantages, bien que la preuve soit limitée pour certaines interventions.
- Les parcelles culturales dominées par l'ophiopegon japonais ont montré une diversité réduite par rapport à d'autres types de végétation dans les espaces verts résidentiels.
