- Larch oleoresin has shown various medicinal benefits like wound healing, but its chemical makeup is not well-understood.
- The study examined eight oleoresins, assessing their essential oil content and variations based on collection methods and time.
- Results indicated significant differences in essential oil yield, particularly higher yields from mid-summer collections, and the presence of key compounds such as α-pinene, with distinct chemical clusters identified through multivariate analysis.
Article Synopsis
- * A scoping review was conducted to analyze 124 publications on the biological activities and chemical compositions of alcoholic extracts from different Mistletoe species, focusing on their effects as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial agents, among others.
- * Key compounds identified in these extracts include flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenoids, indicating a significant potential for therapeutic applications, although there is a noted lack of clinical studies in this area.
is a semi-parasitic plant used for over one hundred years in complementary cancer therapy. The main commercial drugs used in cancer patients' treatment are derived from the aqueous extracts, whose cytotoxic potential is mostly attributed to the aqueous soluble antitumoral metabolites. On the counterpart, ethanol solvents must be used to obtain mother tinctures.
