Argemone mexicana，俗称墨西哥罂粟，历史上一直用于传统医学治疗各种疾病，包括肝脏疾病。鉴于包括癌症在内的肝病患病率不断上升，研究墨西哥Argemone在促进肝脏健康方面的潜在功效至关重要。本综述旨在对墨西哥银杏的保肝和抗癌特性的现有文献进行全面分析。在 PubMed、Google Scholar 以及相关植物和药理学数据库中进行了系统的文献检索。该综述包括来自各种来源的研究，包括体外实验、动物模型和临床试验。检索重点是截至 2010 年至 2023 年发表的文章，包括探索墨西哥阿吉莫尼的植物特征、化学成分、传统用途和药理特性的研究，特别强调其对肝脏健康和癌症的影响。该评论揭示了大量研究强调了墨西哥Argemone 的多种药理特性。该植物成分包含具有抗氧化和抗炎潜力的化合物，表明具有保肝作用。使用体外和体内模型的研究表明，在改善肝功能和抑制肝癌细胞增殖方面有良好的结果。虽然一些临床研究支持 Argemone mexicana 的传统用途，但还需要进一步精心设计的试验来确定其临床功效。总之，Argemone mexicana 显示出作为促进肝脏健康和对抗肝癌的天然药物的前景。具有抗氧化和抗炎特性的生物活性化合物具有潜在的保肝作用。然而，将这些发现转化为临床实践需要进一步严格的研究，包括精心设计的临床试验。本综述为未来的研究工作奠定了基础，旨在阐明墨西哥阿吉莫内在肝脏健康和癌症管理方面的全部治疗潜力。版权所有© Bentham Science Publishers；如有任何疑问，请发送电子邮件至 epub@benthamscience.net。

Argemone mexicana, commonly known as the Mexican prickly poppy, has been historically employed in traditional medicine for various ailments, including liver disorders. Given the rising prevalence of liver diseases, including cancer, investigating the potential efficacy of Argemone mexicana in promoting liver health is of paramount importance. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature on the hepatoprotective and anticancer properties of Argemone mexicana.A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Google Scholar, and relevant botanical and pharmacological databases. Studies from various sources, including in vitro experiments, animal models, and clinical trials, were included in the review. The search focused on articles published up to 2010-2023, encompassing research that explored the botanical characteristics, chemical composition, traditional uses, and pharmacological properties of Argemone mexicana, specifically emphasizing its impact on liver health and cancer.The review revealed a wealth of studies highlighting the diverse pharmacological properties of Argemone mexicana. The botanical composition includes compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential, suggesting hepatoprotective effects. Studies using in vitro and in vivo models demonstrated promising outcomes regarding liver function improvement and inhibition of liver cancer cell proliferation. While some clinical studies supported the traditional uses of Argemone mexicana, further well-designed trials are warranted to establish its clinical efficacy.In conclusion, Argemone mexicana shows promise as a natural agent for promoting liver health and combating liver cancer. Bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties suggest potential hepatoprotective effects. However, translating these findings into clinical practice requires further rigorous investigation, including well-designed clinical trials. This review provides a foundation for future research efforts aimed at elucidating the full therapeutic potential of Argemone mexicana in liver health and cancer management.Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net.
