Bean Trefoil

Anagyris foetida

Anagyris foetida is a plant native to the Mediterranean region where it is pollinated by birds, lizards, and insects. While traditionally used in some local practices for various purposes, specific traditional uses have not been extensively documented. Scientific studies indicate that Anagyris foetida can be nodulated by multiple rhizobia strains, suggesting its role in nitrogen fixation. Laboratory tests identified two alkaloids and other compounds from the plant's leaves that demonstrated variable cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines, though results are not conclusive. The extract showed mixed effects on amoxicillin's activity against E. coli strains, sometimes enhancing and at other times reducing its efficacy. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for Anagyris foetida.
