摘要
植物是大自然蕴藏的生命力和健康促进剂。尽管人们对植物药用化学的兴趣与日俱增,研究也在不断深入,但仍有许多问题尚未解决。此外,还有许多传统药用植物尚未被发现或在功能上尚未定性。本研究对非洲土生土长的丹参属植物--Salvia africana-lutea L.(与 Salvia aurea L.同义)进行了最新综述,详细介绍了其地理分布、民族植物学和药理应用。我们查阅了截至 2023 年 1 月所有关于非洲鼠尾草的文献,主要数据库为 PubMed、Scopus 和 ScienceDirect,次要来源为 google scholar。在文献检索中,我们发现了 38 篇关于 S. africana-lutea 的文献,尽管丹参属植物作为药用植物很受欢迎(迄今已发表超过 15,000 篇文章)。在检索到的文献中,只有少数研究侧重于利用植物的民族植物学特征,如形态、花期、存在时间及其毛状体的性质。一些研究报告称,S. africana-lutea 是一种极好的精油来源,其叶片毛状体中含有大量植物化学物质和生物活性物质。其他研究报告了植物提取物和分离的植物化学物质的一些有趣的药理活性,如抗菌、抗氧化、镇痛、解热、抗癌、细胞毒性和其他生物活性。我们指出了已发表的少数研究的一些局限性,并强调了未来的研究需求,这些需求应引起更多科学界的兴趣,以促进对丹参这一开发不足的珍贵植物物种的更多研究,从而充分利用其药用和工业潜力。
Salvia africana-lutea L.: a review of ethnobotany, phytochemistry, pharmacology applications and future prospects
Plants are nature’s reserve for vitality and health-boosting agents. Despite ever-rising interest and research on plant medicinal chemistry, many stones are still being left unturned. Moreover, many traditional medicinal plants are yet to be discovered or functionally characterized. This study presented an up-to-date review of a poorly explored member of the Salvia genus indigenous to Africa—Salvia africana-lutea L. (synonymous with Salvia aurea L.) with details on its geographical distribution, ethnobotany, and pharmacological applications. We reviewed all literature published on Salvia africana-lutea up to January 2023, retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect as primary databases and google scholar as the secondary source. From our literature search, we found 38 documents published on S. africana-lutea, despite the popularity of the Salvia genus as a medicinal plant (having over 15,000 articles published to date). From the retrieved literature, only a few studies focused on exploiting the ethnobotanical features of the plants, such as the morphology, flowering and existence, and nature of its trichomes. Some studies have reported S. africana-lutea as an excellent source of essential oils trapped within their leaf trichomes with numerous phytochemicals and bioactivities. Other studies have reported some interesting pharmacological activities of plant extracts and isolated phytochemicals, such as their antimicrobial, anti-oxidative, analgesic, antipyretic, anticancer, cytotoxic, and other bioactivities. We identified some limitations of the few published studies, highlighting future research needs that should draw more scientific interest to foster more study on this under-explored and valuable plant species of Salvia, to harness its medicinal and industrial potential fully.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Traditional Medicine (ADTM) is an international and peer-reviewed journal and publishes a variety of articles including original researches, reviews, short communications, and case-reports. ADTM aims to bridging the gap between Traditional knowledge and medical advances. The journal focuses on publishing valid, relevant, and rigorous experimental research and clinical applications of Traditidnal Medicine as well as medical classics. At the same time, the journal is devoted to communication among basic researcher and medical clinician interested in the advancement of Traditional Medicine. Topics covered by the journal are: Medical Classics & History; Biomedical Research; Pharmacology & Toxicology of Natural Products; Acupuncture & Moxibustion; Sasang Constitutional Medicine; Diagnostics and Instrumental Development; Clinical Research. ADTM is published four times yearly. The publication date of this journal is 30th March, June, September, and December.
