Rhubarbe
Rheum palmatum · Chinese rhubarb
Rheum palmatum, commonly known as Chinese rhubarb, is a traditional plant used in East Asian medicine. It has been employed for its laxative properties and to treat conditions such as jaundice in various Chinese herbal practices. Scientific evidence suggests that emodin, one of its active compounds, may activate the CFTR chloride channel through a cAMP/PKA pathway-dependent mechanism, potentially explaining its laxative effects. Additionally, there is some indication from a meta-analysis that combining Chinese herbal medicine with Western medicine can improve clinical outcomes in severe acute pancreatitis-related acute lung injury/ARDS; however, more research is needed to confirm these findings. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been reported for Rheum palmatum.

Ce que dit la science
- L'emodine active le canal de chlorure CFTR selon une voie dépendante du chemin cAMP/PKA, suggérant un mécanisme pour ses effets laxatifs.
- L'étude examine les effets thérapeutiques adjuvants et mécanismes de l'Infusion d'Yinchenhao dans le jaunissement obstructif sans revendications médicales définitives.
- L'analyse de méta-données a montré que la combinaison de la médecine chinoise avec celle occidentale a considérablement amélioré l'efficacité clinique chez les patients atteints de SAP-ALI/ARDS, bien qu'il y ait des limites.
- Les fruits de tomates transgéniques ont exprimé des enzymes de Rheum palmatum et Rubus idaeus pour produire de petites quantités de glycosides de kétone de framboise pendant la maturité.
