使用药用植物治疗炎症和疼痛过程已经引起了科学家和卫生专业人员的注意,因为有证据表明天然产物可以促进与常规抗炎药物相比具有更少的不良反应相关的显着治疗益处。Plectranthus属由具有药理潜力的各种植物组成,用于治疗世界各地传统社区的各种疾病。本研究系统地回顾了具有抗炎和镇痛潜力的Plectranthus物种。为此,根据系统评价和荟萃分析(PRISMA)方案的首选报告项目进行系统评价。搜索是在以下数据库上进行的:PubMed,ScienceDirect,SciVerseScopus,和WebofScience。使用不同的搜索术语组合来确保更出色的文章覆盖率。选择后,本综述共纳入45篇文章.这项研究确定了十二种Plectranthus物种,用于治疗不同的炎症状况,比如伤口,发烧,支气管炎,脓肿,哮喘,肝炎,迷路炎,扁桃体炎,和子宫炎症。疼痛的适应症包括头痛,喉咙痛,胃灼热,月经来潮,绞痛,牙痛,胃痛,偏头痛,胸痛,腹痛,局部疼痛,分娩疼痛,和反复出现的疼痛。在列出的物种中,根据传统知识发现了十种植物,尽管其中只有四个已经过实验研究。在评估临床前体内试验的方法学质量时,大多数项目都存在偏见的风险。SR结果揭示了用于治疗炎症和疼痛的不同Plectranthus物种的存在。这项系统评价的结果表明,Plectranthus物种有潜力用于治疗具有炎症成分的疾病,以及疼痛的管理。然而,考虑到偏见的风险,通过临床前测试对这些物种进行实验分析对于安全有效地使用它们至关重要。
The use of medicinal plants to treat inflammatory conditions and painful processes has attracted the attention of scientists and health professionals due to the evidence that natural products can promote significant therapeutic benefits associated with fewer adverse effects compared to conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. The genus Plectranthus is composed of various plants with pharmacological potential, which are used to treat various diseases in traditional communities worldwide. The present study systematically reviewed Plectranthus species with anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential. To this end, a systematic
review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. The search was conducted on the following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, SciVerse Scopus, and Web of Science. Different combinations of search terms were used to ensure more excellent article coverage. After the selection, a total of 45 articles were included in this
review. This study identified twelve Plectranthus species indicated for the treatment of different inflammatory conditions, such as wounds, fever, bronchitis, abscess, asthma, hepatitis, labyrinthitis, tonsillitis, and uterine inflammation. The indications for pain conditions included headache, sore throat, heartburn, menstrual cramp, colic, toothache, stomachache, migraine, chest pain, abdominal pain, local pain, labor pain, and recurring pain. Among the listed species, ten plants were found to be used according to traditional knowledge, although only four of them have been experimentally studied. When assessing the methodological quality of preclinical in vivo assays, most items presented a risk of bias. The SR results revealed the existence of different Plectranthus species used to treat inflammation and pain. The results of this systematic
review indicate that Plectranthus species have the potential to be used in the treatment of diseases with an inflammatory component, as well as in the management of pain. However, given the risk of biases, the experimental analysis of these species through preclinical testing is crucial for their safe and effective use.
