American prickly-ash
Zanthoxylum americanum
Zanthoxylum americanum，又称美洲刺辛夷，是一种原产于北美的传统草药植物。尽管其在传统医学中的具体用途尚未得到充分记录，但已对其生物活性进行了研究。科学研究表明，来自红色和黄色泽泻属物种的提取物在秋季衰退过程中采用不同的策略，红色物种更多地依赖花青素。研究表明，Zanthoxylum americanum 中的呋喃香豆素含量对多种真菌菌株表现出广泛的抗真菌活性。此外，研究发现这些呋喃香豆素抑制 DNA 聚合酶，但这种抑制的具体性取决于碱基组成。其他植物如Arctostaphylos uva-ursi、Hydrastis canadensis 和 Prunus serotina 也对 Neisseria gonorrhoeae 孤立株显示出不同程度的活性，但在这一背景下没有特定证据表明 Zanthoxylum americanum 的安全性或药物相互作用问题。
