Plant Part–Specific Differences in Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): A Comparative Evaluation of Root and Leaf Evidence for Safety and Regulation [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This review contrasts the root and leaf of Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) across phytochemistry, clinical evidence, and regulatory context. Root preparations are dominated by withanolide A, D, and glyco‐withanolides, with multiple randomized controlled trials supporting reductions in stress, anxiety, and insomnia alongside a favorable safety profile.

Molecular dynamics simulations and experimental studies reveal differential permeability of withaferin-A and withanone across the model cell membrane

Scientific Reports, 2021
Poor bioavailability due to the inability to cross the cell membrane is one of the major reasons for the failure of a drug in clinical trials. We have used molecular dynamics simulations to predict the membrane permeability of natural drugs—withanolides (
