“…Epilobium hirsutum belongs to the Onagraceae family, commonly known as great willowherb, and great hairy willowherb or hairy willowherb. [1] It has been reported that E. hirsutum contains various phytochemical constituents such as bioflavonoids such as quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin, aromatic acids such as gallic acid, ellagic acid, p-coumaric acid, valoneic acid and protocatechuic acid, and tannins. [2][3][4][5] Other than polyphenolic compounds, the plant also contains fatty acids, triterpenoids, steroids, [6] amino acids, and tocopherol.…”

Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the protective role of different fractions of Epilobium hirsutum on the toxic effects of iron on hematological value in Sprague–Dawley rats. Material and Methods: Iron overload was induced by injecting six IP injections of iron dextran (12.5 mg/100 g) uniformly for 30 days. Different fractions of E. hirsutum were given orally and deferoxamine subcutaneously for 30 days. The hematological parameters were evaluated on 15–30 days of treatment. Results: The animal exposed to iron presented a significant (P < 0.01) reduction in red blood corpuscles, total and differential white blood cells, and platelet levels. This shows that the overabundance of iron in iron overloaded conditions can lead to bone marrow suppression. These influences of iron overload were prevented by concurrent daily administration of a methanolic fraction of methanolic extract and a methanolic fraction of aqueous extract of E. hirsutum. Conclusion: The results indicate that 300 mg/kg for 30 days shows better beneficial effects as compared to 150 mg/kg for 15 days of treatment. Our results endorsed that E. hirsutum has beneficial effects on hematological parameters in iron intoxicated Sprague–Dawley rats.

Habitats with variable watering are characterized by fairly stable illumination during the growing season, while moisture availability varies. Epilobium hirsutum L. also grows under such conditions. It is a polycarpic; clearly poly-centric juvenile of vegetative origin; geophyte; hygrophyte. The aboveground organs of this species are used for medicinal purposes, therefore the anatomical structure of the stem and leaf is described earlier. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the internal structure of underground organs in connection with the conditions of variable watering. The underground organs of vegetatively arisen individuals are formed by sympodially growing transitional formations from the stolon to the rhizome with adventitious roots. During the study, transverse sections of the internodes of the geophil-ic part of the shoot and adventitious roots were made, and the linear dimensions of the structures were measured. It was found that the air-bearing cavities and the storage parenchyma, which occupies most of the shoot axis, are developed in the geophilic site; conductive and mechanical tissues are poorly formed. The revealed features emphasize the adaptability of the geophilic site to the implementation mainly of the functions of the supply of substances and air, vegetative reproduction and proliferation. Adventitious roots of two types, which differ in location, structure, age and functional heterogeneity.
