Terminalia citrina
Terminalia citrina is a plant traditionally used in Thai medicine but lacks documented historical uses. Scientific evidence indicates that its aqueous extract has potent antimicrobial activity against A. baumannii AB0014 by targeting OmpA, and both aqueous and methanol extracts show varying degrees of antibacterial activity against tested pathogens. Additionally, the Thai herbal formulation demonstrated a significant decrease in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels in patients with borderline hyperlipidemia over 12 weeks. Both water and alcohol extracts showed strong antioxidant capacity and inhibited cholinesterases, suggesting potential for treating Alzheimer's disease. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been identified to date.
