The wide -leaf blackberry: traditional medicine rediscovered and researched

of the plant, which is known under the name "Molucca blackberry" or wide -leaved blackberry, is of particular importance in traditional medicine. It belongs to the family of rose plants (rosaceae) and is particularly common in tropical regions of Asia and Australia. This plant is used to treat various symptoms such as headaches, diarrhea, ruhr, abdominal pain, at night urinaries in children and to promote fertility in women.

The Molucca blackberry contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, terpenes and other chemical substances. These compounds are known to have antibacterial, antifungal (anti -mushrooms), anti -helminthic (acting against worms) and antioxidant properties. Despite its extensive applications in traditional medicine, there is only limited information about this plant.

The goal of the current investigation was to summarize and analyze the existing knowledge of taxonomy, morphology, geographical distribution, the nutritional value, ethnobotany (the traditional use of plants through different cultures), phytochemistry and biological activities of this plant.

possible future developments

Since the Molucca blackberry is an important source of bioactive connections, future research could lead to new pharmacological applications. These could be an alternative or supplement to existing treatments. In addition, an extended research of this plant could lead to more sustainable use and a better understanding of its modes of action.

Basic terms and concepts

• Bioactive connections: These are substances that trigger biological activities in the body. They are often present in plants and can offer health benefits.
• flavonoids: a group of plant substances that have anti -inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
• terpene: Organic compounds that occur primarily in plants and the basis for many essential oils.
• antioxidants: fabrics that can prevent harmful oxidations in the body.
• ethnobotany: The area of ​​science, which deals with the relationship between humans and plants, especially their traditional use.

highlighting of the bioactive connections of the molucca brumberry

This scientific study covers a detailed exploration of the Molucca bromse, a member of the Rosaceae family, which is mainly found in tropical regions of Asia and Australia. The molucca brumberry is known for its diverse applications in traditional medicine, including the treatment of headaches, diarrhea, dysentery, abdominal pain, nocturnal urination in children and the promotion of female fertility.

Biochemical composition and biological functions

The molucca brumberry is an important reservoir for bioactive compounds, in particular flavonoids, terpenes and other chemical components. These connections are responsible for the antibacterial, antifungal, anti -helmet -thirty and antioxidant properties of the plant.

research results

Despite its diverse applications, there is only limited information about this plant in scientific literature. Therefore, the current investigation aims to summarize extensive knowledge of taxonomy, morphology, geographical distribution, nutritional value, ethnobotany, phytochemistry and the biological activities of the molucca bromse. The following points are particularly important here:

• taxonomy and morphology: A detailed assessment of the taxonomic position and morphological features of the plant was carried out.
• geographical distribution: The plant mainly occurs in tropical areas of Asia and Australia.
• nutritional value: identification and analysis of the nutrient composition.
• ethnobotanic applications: use in traditional medicine was documented and analyzed.
• Phytochemical components: comprehensive analysis of the bioactive connections, in particular flavonoids and terpenes.
• Biological activity: exploration of the versatile biological effects of these compounds.
