Book excerpt: This volume of the IARC Monographs provides an assessment of the carcinogenicity of 14 drugs and herbal products. The IARC Monographs Working Group relied on epidemiological studies to evaluate the carcinogenic hazard to humans exposed to the drugs digoxin (widely prescribed for the treatment of chronic heart failure), pioglitazone (used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus), and hydrochlorothiazide (used to treat hypertension). Other agents evaluated included the drugs primidone, sulfasalazine, pentosan polysulfate sodium, and triamterene, and five herbal products (or their components): Aloe vera whole leaf extract, goldenseal root powder, Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, kava extract, and pulegone. In view of the limited agent-specific information available from epidemiological studies, assessments of these agents relied mainly on carcinogenicity bioassays to reach conclusions as to the carcinogenic hazard to exposed humans.

Download or read book Phytopharmacy written by Sarah E. Edwards and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and nurses, are often confronted with patients who use over-the-counter (OTC) herbal medicinal products and food supplements. While taking responsibility for one’s own health and treatment options is encouraged, many patients use these products based on limited (and sometimes inaccurate) information from non-scientific sources, such as the popular press and internet. There is a clear need to offer balanced, well-informed advice to patients, yet a number of studies have shown that, generally, conventionally trained health practitioners consider their knowledge about herbal medicinal products and supplements to be weak. Phytopharmacy fills this knowledge gap, and is intended for use by the busy pharmacist, nurse, or doctor, as well as the ‘expert patient’ and students of pharmacy and herbal medicine. It presents clear, practical and concise monographs on over a hundred popular herbal medicines and plant-based food supplements. Information provided in each monograph includes: • Indications • Summary and appraisal of clinical and pre-clinical evidence • Potential interactions • Contraindications • Possible adverse effects An overview of the current regulatory framework is also outlined, notably the EU Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive. This stipulates that only licensed products or registered traditional herbal medicinal products (THRs), which have assured quality and safety, can now legally be sold OTC. Monographs are included of most of the major herbal ingredients found in THRs, and also some plant-based food supplements, which while not strictly medicines, may also have the potential to exert a physiological effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis L.) is a well-known medicinal, forest plant native to eastern North America. The roots and rhizomes of this species are used primarily as an antimicrobial and for the treatment of inflammation and intestinal ailments. Due to conservation concerns over the long-term viability of wild populations, the species has been listed in Appendix 2 of the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an international trade treaty surrounding wild species. Concurrently, there is demand in the herbal industry for high quality, sustainably sourced goldenseal products. This study examined phytochemistry of wild harvested rhizomes and shoots; behaviors and perspectives surrounding goldenseal trade in the eastern United States; and habitat suitability and indicators in Pennsylvania. This interdisciplinary set of studies was undertaken to better understand and enhance wild conservation efforts, and to develop information that could be used to inform the adoption of cultivation, forest farming, and in situ wild stewardship. Phytochemistry studies were undertaken to investigate the occurrence of three isoquinoline alkaloidsberberine, hydrastine, and canadinecurrently recognized as three major bioactive constituents in goldenseal. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to look at the influence of development stage, time-of-day, habitat conditions, and drying temperature on variations in alkaloid concentrations in goldenseal rhizomes and shoots. Results indicate that harvest and post-harvest conditions and practices can greatly influence the total alkaloid concentration in the plant. Alkaloid concentration was found to peak in both plant shoots and in rhizomes at flowering stage and in the rhizomes in the dormancy stage. Hydrastine and canadine levels were found to be greatest in shoots in the afternoon. Habitat factors such as forest overstory canopy cover, plant density, and soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) were all found to influence alkaloid levels in goldenseal. Drying temperatures (26.7C 54.4C) were found to influence canadine, which decreased as temperature increased. To better understand goldenseal trade behaviors and conservation perspectives, surveys were used to gather information around the management, trade, and conservation practices in Pennsylvania, and across the species natural range. Results indicate that trade is more significant and widespread in goldenseals core range (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia), and that this increased trade activity is also linked to perceived greater availability of goldenseal as a wild species and less concern by buyers over conservation. Further, there is a lack of state involvement in goldenseal trade tracking and management when compared with American ginseng, which is another CITES listed species. Results indicate that the state-to-state variation in harvest may require greater attention at the state, rather than federal, level to improve a regionally-focused approach to goldenseal conservation. Lastly, indicator species analysis and habitat suitability modeling were used to identify goldenseal habitat in Pennsylvania a state at the northern edge of its range. The results identified bedrock type and the average winter temperature as important factors in determining suitable habitat. The most prevalent overstory tree associates with goldenseal populations were tulip-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum); common understory associates included spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), and rattlesnake fern (Botrypus virginianus). Taken together, these results identified rich, mesic, woodland sites in the south and south-central part of the state as being suitable for goldenseal, and by prioritizing these areas for protection, management, and cultivation (i.e., forest farming), greater levels of conservation success could be achieved.
