African milkbush
Euphorbia tirucalli
Euphorbia tirucalli，又称铅笔仙人掌或奶汁灌木，是一种原产于非洲、亚洲、澳大利亚和南美洲热带及亚热带地区的植物。其传统用途在任何特定的医疗实践中都没有广泛记录。科学研究表明，Euphorbia tirucalli 的茎提取物对乳腺癌细胞具有细胞毒性作用，其中卢佩洛和β-阿米林显示出与相关目标的强大结合亲和力。然而，证据尚不充分，需要进一步研究来确认这些发现。在一项涉及大鼠的研究中，观察到乳汁摄入会改变心脏血流动力学并增加氧化应激，但不会影响血压。该植物还被发现含有对不同株系的肺炎克雷伯菌具有不同抗菌活性的化合物。尚未记录Euphorbia tirucalli 的主要安全问题或药物相互作用；然而，进一步的研究是必要的以全面了解其潜在效果和应用。
