“…The compound was found to be a potent GST P1-1 inhibitor showing 75% and 84% inhibition at 33 µM and 100 µM, respectively. These findings serve as a scientific validation for the use of D. anomala against BC in Lesotho [37,38].…”

Dicoma anomala is used as herbal medicine to treat and manage fever, coughs, colds, sore throats, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dysentery, constipation, intestinal worms, and sexually transmitted infections in tropical Africa. The aim of this study was to summarize the research that has been done on the ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological properties of D. anomala in tropical Africa. The literature search for information on ethnomedicinal uses and pharmacological activities of D. anomala was undertaken using databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, BioMed Central, PubMed, and Springer link. Other relevant literature sources included books, book chapters, websites, theses, conference papers, and other scientific publications. This study showed that D. anomala is used as herbal medicine in 57.1% of the countries in tropical Africa where it is indigenous. The species is used to treat 66 and five human and animal diseases, respectively. Several classes of secondary metabolites including acetylenic compounds, diterpene, flavonoids, phenols, phytosterols, saponins, sesquiterpenes, tannins and triterpenes have been isolated from D. anomala. Different aqueous and organic extracts of D. anomala exhibited anthelmintic, anticancer, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiplasmodial, and hepatoprotective activities. The documented information on the botany, ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological properties of D. anomala provide baseline data required for further ethnopharmacological studies on the species.

“…For instance, Scabiosa atropurpurea L. is used in Catalonia to treat measles and furuncles [12] and it is also a recognized medicinal plant in France [13]. Another species with several references is Scabiosa columbaria L. which is used to treat diphtheria [14] and respiratory infections, high blood pressure and uterine disorders [15,16], among others. Three other species are also reported to have medicinal uses, Scabiosa stellata L. is used to treat heel cracks [17] and both Scabiosa tschilliensis Grüning and Scabiosa comosa Fisch.…”

Scabiosa Genus: A Rich Source of Bioactive Metabolites

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The genus Scabiosa (family Caprifoliaceae) is considered large (618 scientific plant names of species) although only 62 have accepted Latin binominal names. The majority of the Scabiosa species are widely distributed in the Mediterranean region and some Scabiosa species are used in traditional medicine systems. For instance, Scabiosa columbaria L. is used traditionally against diphtheria while S. comosa Fisch. Ex Roem. and Schult. is used in Mongolian and Tibetan traditional medical settings to treat liver diseases. The richness of Scabiosa species in secondary metabolites such as iridoids, flavonoids and pentacyclic triterpenoids may contribute to its use in folk medicine. Details on the most recent and relevant pharmacological in vivo studies on the bioactive secondary metabolites isolated from Scabiosa species will be summarized and thoroughly discussed.

“…Several Scabiosa species have been used in traditional medicine to treat measles and furuncles (Bonet et al, 2007), diphtheria (Rigat et al, 2007), respiratory infections including bronchitis, bronchial pneumonia, influenza and asthma, as well as high blood pressure, uterine disorders (Rigat et al, 2007;Kose et al, 2015;Moteetee et al, 2016), heel cracks (Bammi and Douira , 2002), dermatoses (herpes ringworm, scabies), ulcers (Girre, 1980) and liver diseases (Zhang et al, 2015).…”
