Eclipta Prostrata (L.) L.: Traditional Use, Phytochemistry, And Pharmacology

This review compiles current information about Eclipta prostrata, traditional uses, and its promising pharmacological properties, like hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, but emphasizes that more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and ensure safety for clinical application.

This review discusses the ethnomedicinal claims, chemical composition, and pharmacological profile of Eclipta alba Hassk., reporting no new clinical results but suggesting future research for traditional medicine validation.

This review explores the medicinal properties of Eclipta alba and its phytoconstituents and reports their potential for developing new drugs, but presents no new research results.

This study found that the water extract of Eclipta prostrata L. may protect skin cells against UVB-induced damage, likely due to its antioxidant properties and absorption of UVA and UVB radiation.

In this cell study, Eclipta alba extract inhibited cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, showing potential antiproliferative and anti-metastasis effects on liver and related cancer cell lines.

This study found that the methanol extract of Eclipta alba showed dose-dependent hair growth promoting activity in pigmented C57/BL6 mice by influencing the transition from the telogen to anagen phase.

Eclipta alba extract helps hair grow faster and more effectively than minoxidil in rats.
