Tithonia diversifolia

Tithonia diversifolia 是一种原产于墨西哥和中美洲的植物，在传统医学中的使用并不广泛。科学研究已鉴定出多种具有生物活性的化合物，提示其通过互补的药效学与药动学作用具备潜在抗糖尿病机制。Tithonia diversifolia 富含 tagitinin C 的提取物对 S. aureus 展示了强大的抗菌活性，并显著破坏生物膜。此外，该植物的饲料粉末富含粗蛋白，但在猪饲料中以更高比例添加时，其体外消化率降低。安全问题极小；未记录到重大不良反应。同时也没有证据表明 Tithonia diversifolia 与药物存在显著相互作用。
