Review of the botany, traditional uses, pharmacology, threats and conservation of Zanthoxylum armatum (Rutaceae)

Chemical Composition Variation in Essential Oil and Their Correlation with Climate Factors in Chinese Prickly Ash Peels (Zanthoxylum armatum DC.) from Different Habitats

“…There are more than 250 species of the genus Zanthoxylum L. in the world, including 45 species and 13 varieties in China [ 1 ]. Worldwide, the genus is found mainly in Asia, including Central, South, Southeast, and East Asia, but also in Himalayas, Americas, and Africa [ 2 ]. In China, Z. armatum are mainly distributed in the southwestern region, such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, and Guangxi [ 3 ].…”

“…Z. armatum peels, as an herbal medicine, can relieve fever, appetite, toothache, rheumatism, diabetes, etc. [ 2 , 5 ]. It is commonly used as an edible spice for making kimchi, hot pot seasoning, and cooking traditional Chinese dishes and is one of the “Eight Major Seasonings” in China.…”

Protective effects of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus STAPF) extract mediated mitochondrial fission and glucose uptake inhibition in SW1417

“…citral, b-myrcene and geraniol) in different in vitro and in vivo systems (Aboagye et al, 2021;Cheel et al, 2005;Faheem et al, 2022;Mitić-Ćulafić et al, 2009;Pereira et al, 2009;Rabbani et al, 2006;Tapia et al, 2007). Moreover, geraniol has been found to reduce the proliferative activity of Caco-2 human colon and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells lines (Agnihotri et al, 2022;Zhi et al, 2021). In addition, lemongrass ethanolic extract given orally to male Fischer 344 rats inhibited both colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and hepatic glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci development induced by carcinogens azoxymethane and diethylnitrosamine, respectively (Nomier et al, 2021;Okada et al, 2021;Zhi et al, 2021).…”

Chemical Composition, Antimicrobial, Nitric Oxide Inhibition and Cytotoxic Activity of Essential Oils from Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC. Leaves and Stems from Vietnam

“…[33] However, the biological activities of the essential oils from the leaves and stems of this plant have been poorly studied, while the essential oils from the leaves and other parts of the species Z. armatum of the same genus have been extensively studied with many remarkable activity. [34][35][36][37] Considering that this plant is widely distributed in Vietnam, we conducted this study with the aim to elucidate and compare the composition of essential oils in leaves and stems of Z. acanthopodium collected in Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam. Their antibacterial (on six bacterial strains), antifungal (on Candida albican), NO production inhibition in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, and cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines (SK-LU-1, MCF-7, and HepG2) were evaluated.…”

“…Terpenoids are known to be the main constituent of the essential oil from its leaves collected in India [32] and from the aerial parts of the plant in China [33] . However, the biological activities of the essential oils from the leaves and stems of this plant have been poorly studied, while the essential oils from the leaves and other parts of the species Z. armatum of the same genus have been extensively studied with many remarkable activity [34–37] . Considering that this plant is widely distributed in Vietnam, we conducted this study with the aim to elucidate and compare the composition of essential oils in leaves and stems of Z. acanthopodium collected in Bidoup‐Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam.…”
