Flavonoids from Perovskia atriplicifolia and Their in Vitro Displacement of the Respective Radioligands for Human Opioid and Cannabinoid Receptors

“…7 Recently, P. atriplicifolia has been explored as a possible remediative plant as a means to improve air and soil quality. 8 In order to provide insight in the development of novel agents for managing neuropathic pain, 9 we used a radioligand binding receptor assay to identify natural products with selective affinity for specific opioid and cannabinoid receptors. An ethanolic extract of P. atriplicifolia leaves was found to have a percent displacement of a radioligand between 40% and 50% for the opioid receptors.…”
