Cat's Claw
Uncaria tomentosa
猫爪藤（Uncaria tomentosa）是一种原产于中美洲和南美洲热带雨林的木质藤本植物。目前，历史文献中没有记载该植物的传统用途。科学证据表明，它可能具有免疫调节作用，例如短暂性地提高某些细胞因子的水平，并且可能通过减少动物模型中主动脉斑块的进展来影响血管健康。一些研究表明，它对某些癌细胞系具有选择性细胞毒性，特别是富含五环氧吲哚生物碱的提取物。目前尚未记录到任何主要的安全性问题或显著的药物相互作用。本信息仅供教育目的。

科学怎么说
- Imoviral® 补充剂导致早期短暂的TNF-α和IL-1β上调，与其他免疫基因相比，其他组别中的变化有限。
- Rhy 减少了主动脉斑块的进展，并通过抑制氧化低密度脂蛋白（ox-LDL）摄取和减少炎症反应改善了高脂饮食喂养兔的血管组织学。
- 从 Uncaria tomentosa 提取物显示出对某些癌细胞系的选择性细胞毒性，其中粗水提取物和富含五环氧化吲哚生物碱的提取物最具前景。
- 奎尼酸增强了KHYG-1细胞的细胞毒性，通过调节Ras/MAPK信号传导途径并增加干扰素-γ的表达。
