helleborus/항진균제

BACKGROUND Helleborus niger is used in the adjuvant treatment of different tumors in anthroposophical medicine. Indications include various types of brain tumors in children, as well as prostate cancer, leukemia and lymphoma. Our aim was to investigate the therapeutic effects of these extracts apart

Helleborus cyclophyllus Boiss is a rhizomatous plant species, with strong allelochemical properties, that has been used since ancient times for its therapeutic properties. In the present study we investigated the ability of an aqueous-soluble fraction of the methanol extract of H. cyclophyllus Boiss

There is a strong drive worldwide to discover and exploit the therapeutic potential of a large variety of plants. In this work, an alcoholic extract of Helleborus purpurascens (family Ranunculaceae) was investigated for the identification of amino acids and peptides with putative antiproliferative

Here we report for the first time that MCS-18, a novel natural product isolated from Helleborus purpurascens, is able to inhibit the expression of typical molecules of mature dendritic cells (DC) such as CD80, CD86, and especially of CD83 subsequently leading to a clear and dose-dependent inhibition

This article surveys the characteristics and therapeutic use of black and white hellebore, the beloved plants of the Greeks. It tries to assess the reasons for their possible correct or disastrous use, according to the Greek texts, focusing on some evidence of drug experiments on tolerance to
