Rhinacanthus nasutus
Rhinacanthus nasutus
Rhinacanthus nasutus is a plant traditionally not extensively used in any known medical practices. Scientific evidence suggests that its aqueous extract may offer protection against diabetic nephropathy-induced oxidative stress, both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the root extract of Rhinacanthus nasutus has shown strong antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans by reducing melanin production and altering cell structure. Certain flavonoids isolated from its aerial parts indicate potential antihyperlipidemic effects, and acteoside, a compound found in the plant, may possess anti-inflammatory properties. To date, no significant safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been noted for Rhinacanthus nasutus.

Ce que dit la science
- L'extrait aquatique de Rhinacanthus nasutus a montré des effets protecteurs contre la néphropathie diabétique en modulant le chemin de signalisation PI3K/AKT et réduisant l'stress oxydatif.
- Certain flavonoids isolated from the aerial part of Rhinacanthus nasutus showed potential antihyperlipidemic activity.
- L'extrait racinaire de Rhinacanthus nasutus a montré l'activité antifongique la plus forte contre Cryptococcus neoformans, réduisant la production de mélanine et modifiant la structure cellulaire.
- Rhinacanthus nasutus contient l'acteoside (AC), un glycoside phénylethanoid avec de multiples activités biologiques, notamment des effets antirétroviraux, mais l'étude ne confirme pas les bénéfices pour la santé.
