Shahatra (F.parviflora Lam)- a comprehensive review of its ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry and pharmacology

A Review on Cytomorphological, Medicinal, Phytochemical and Pharmacological Potential of Common Weed of Wheat Crop of Himachal Pradesh: Fumaria Parviflora

“…This database in Fumaria parviflora contribute to both its biological activity and possible therapeutic effects (Zhang et al, 2020). Phytochemicals that are frequently observed in Fumaria species and possibly in Fumaria parviflora, include (Jamaldeen et al, 2022): glycosides, phenol, caffeic acid, quercetin, kaempferol, isoquinoline, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, sterols such as β-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol, as well as β-alkaloids like perfume, adlumidiceine, palmatine, berberine, dihydrosanguinarine, fumaricine, protopine oxyberberine protocatechuic acid and caffeic acid. Some of them are shown in figure 3.…”

“…Studies suggest that these compounds can suppress the release of inflammatory-promoting cytokines like interleukin-6 (IL-6) while enhancing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) (Rao et al, 2007;Zahedipour et al, 2022). By attenuating inflammation at the molecular level, Fumaria parviflora compounds offer the potential to alleviate symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions, including pain, swelling and tissue damage (Bhargava et al, 2021;Jamaldeen et al, 2022).…”

Ergothioneine attenuates varicocele‐induced testicular damage by upregulating HSP90AA1 in rats

“…And more than 25% of infertile men were found to have high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in their semen. [11,12] Studies show that oxidative stress can significantly affect reproductive performance. [13] A high level of ROS is associated with male infertility, which can decrease acrosome reaction, influence sperm DNA fragmentation, and impair sperm motility.…”
