Cast iron plant

Aspidistra elatior

Aspidistra elatior 是原产于东亚的一种植物,并广泛用作室内观赏植物。尽管在某些亚洲文化中传统上用于各种目的,但其具体的传统药用用途尚未被广泛记录。科学研究表明,该植物的凝集素AEL表现出一定的体外抗病毒和抗癌活性,但不同病毒和细胞系的结果不一致。此外,对土壤施加脉冲电场刺激已被证明可以增加多种植物(包括Aspidistra elatior)产生的负离子数量,但效果在不同物种之间有所不同。目前关于AEL的安全数据有限,尚未记录重大问题;然而,需要进一步研究以全面了解其潜在益处和风险。没有报告这种植物与药物之间的相互作用。
