Researchers from 3 countries reach promising results
Researchers from Ethiopia, Germany and India have found that the active botanical component of the anemone plant has a role in treating malaria, common in tropical and subtropical countries.
And malaria – during the year 2020 alone – infected regarding 241 million people, and killed regarding 627,000 worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.
The new study was recently published in the journal “Molecules”, and is a joint effort between Ethiopia’s Addis Ababa University, Aligarh Islamic University in India, and Germany’s University of Hull.
The anemone flower is known by the scientific name “coronary anemone”, and it is a beautiful wild flower, famous in the Arab folk heritage as it grew on the tomb of al-Numan ibn al-Mundhir, the most famous king of al-Hira in Iraq.
“Anemones” are classified within the buttercup family, and in some regions of Africa, tea made from the leaves of the buttercup plant, a member of the buttercup family, is used to treat malaria.
“Until now it was not known what components the plant contained and which of them might have a therapeutic effect,” said Professor Caleb Asris, of Addis Ababa University, who had prior knowledge of the popular use of the plant.
The researchers tested the effectiveness of anemone leaves on mice following exposing them to the parasite “Plasmodium bergi” that causes malaria, and then some mice received the drug chloroquine, which is known to be effective in treating malaria.
Another group of mice received different doses of plant extracts.
For his part, Professor Peter Eming, from the University of Hull, Germany, who participated in the study, said, “The results were promising, although the plant extracts were not as effective as chloroquine, but they had a clear positive effect on the course of the disease.”
For example, mice lost significantly less weight, and their body temperature was also more stable than untreated mice.”
The researchers found that anemonin, which is produced in anemones, was the reason behind the positive effect on mice infected with malaria.
Paradoxically, This compound is not produced inside anemones; But it is produced when a plant suffers an injury resulting from friction with another object, and the interior of its cells comes into contact with the air.
On the other hand, researchers examined the effectiveness of anemones on the parasites Leishmania (which causes a skin disease) and the widespread schistosomiasis, in another study recently published in the journal “Molecules.” Preliminary laboratory tests showed promising results.
