Evaluation of the nutritional composition ofMyrothamnus flabellifolius(Welw.) herbal tea and its protective effect against oxidative hepatic cell injury [PDF]

Journal of Food Biochemistry, 2019
The nutrient composition of Myrothamnus flabellifolius leaf tea extract (MLTE) and its protective effect against oxidative hepatic cell injury were evaluated. Gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, methyl gallate, and epicatechin were identified in MLTE by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

The occurrence of trehalose in the leaves of the desiccation-tolerant angiosperm Myrothamnus flabellifolius welw.

Journal of Plant Physiology, 1993
Summary Although the disaccharide trehalose predominates in a wide variety of desiccation-tolerant lower organisms, including some lower vascular plants, it is rare in higher vascular plants. Sucrose is suggested to have an analogous role to trehalose in stabilizing the membranes of desiccation-tolerant seeds and pollen of angiosperms. In the present

Kinetics of inhibitory action of Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw. on the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase

Comparative Clinical Pathology, 2017
Recently, efforts have been geared towards the development of alternative medicines to manage diabetes mellitus by searching for pharmacological agents with the ability to retard glucose absorption through inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase.

Marginal and laminar hydathode-like structures in the leaves of the desiccation-tolerant angiosperm Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw.

Flora - Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2009
Abstract The fan-shaped leaves of the resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolius Welw. fold during episodes of drought and consequent desiccation of the tissue. The leaf teeth of M. flabellifolius have several features characteristic of hydathodes.

Abstract 3802: Selective cytotoxicty and mechanism of Myrothamnus flabellifolius, an edible medicinal plant, on acute myeloid leukemia cells

Cancer Research, 2015
Abstract Current therapies for acute myeloid leukemia involve chemotherapy and radiation, which cause damage to normal and cancerous cells. There is a dire need to discover novel drugs that target only cancer cells. Myrothamnus flabellifolius is a South African resurrection plant known for its anti-viral, anti-microbial and anti ...

Abstract P5-07-13: MicroRNA-mediated restoration of tamoxifen sensitivity in triple negative breast cancer through modulation of estrogen receptor alpha/beta ratio using Myrothamnus flabellifolius

Cancer Research, 2018
Abstract Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents approximately 20% of all breast cancer cases worldwide. Prognosis for this subtype of cancer is especially dire due to the absence of Estrogen (ER), Progesterone and Human Epidermal Growth Factor receptors, usually targeted by neoadjuvant therapies like Tamoxifen.
