Polyscias ligneux
Polyscias fruticosa · Ming Aralia
Polyscias fruticosa, commonly known as false boehmeria or niu huang in Chinese medicine, is a plant traditionally used in some Asian cultures for various purposes but lacks specific documented traditional uses. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits from Polyscias fruticosa leaf extract, which has shown improvements in lifespan, memory, motor behavior, and oxidative stress markers in fly models exposed to aluminum chloride. Additionally, bioreactor cultivation of the plant demonstrated higher triterpene glycoside accumulation compared to flask cultures, indicating its potential for sustainable biomass production. Over 120 metabolites were identified in Polyscias fruticosa, including compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticancer, and neuroprotective activities, though the strength of these findings varies widely. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been noted for this plant.

Ce que dit la science
- Over 120 metabolites were identified in Polyscias fruticosa, including compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticancer, and neuroprotective activities.
- L'extrait de feuille de Polyscias fruticosa a montré des améliorations concernant la longévité, la mémoire, le comportement moteur et les marqueurs du stress oxydatif chez les mouches exposées au chlorure d'aluminium.
- Le Polyscias fruticosa cultivé dans un bioreacteur a montré une croissance satisfaisante et une accumulation plus élevée de glycosides triterpéniques par rapport aux cultures en flacons, ce qui montre le potentiel pour la production durable de biomasse.
- L'extrait de levure et le méthyl jasmonate ont augmenté le contenu d'acide oleanolique et les activités biologiques des cellules de Polyscias fruticosa, bien que cela se fasse au détriment du croissance.
