Star Apple
Chrysophyllum cainito
Chrysophyllum cainito，又称星苹果或卡米托，是一种原产于中美洲的热带树木，并广泛种植在加勒比海、南美洲和亚洲部分地区。传统上，在各种文化中，它并没有被广泛用于医疗用途。然而，最近的研究表明，从 Chrysophyllum cainito 中提取的 Lactiplantibacillus plantarum UTNGt28L 具有潜在的益生菌特性，如安全性及抗菌活性。此外，其叶和种子中提取的精油显示出抗菌性质，其中叶片油更为强大。研究还表明，Chrysophyllum oliviforme（一种密切相关物种）含有更高浓度的生物活性代谢物，并合成更稳定的锌氧化纳米颗粒，其抗病毒活性优于 C. cainito。此外，功能化于 Chrysophyllum cainito 果皮的金纳米粒子在 HCT-116 结肠癌细胞中表现出显著的细胞毒性作用。与该植物相关的重大安全问题或记录药物相互作用均未发现。
