Centipeda Minima Extract

Centipeda minima extract is a brownish-yellow powder produced from the dried whole herb of the plant (Centipeda minima) in the Asteraceae family. It is obtained through water extraction, low-temperature vacuum concentration, and spray drying. Rich in triterpenoids, flavonoids, and volatile oils, it possesses properties such as dispersing wind-cold, clearing nasal passages, and relieving coughs, and is widely used in the pharmaceutical and scientific research fields.

Main Components

• Terpenoids: Including sesquiterpenes (such as arnica lactone and geranium brevifolium) and triterpenoids, these are key components for anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.
• Flavones: Such as quercetin and apigenin, which have antioxidant and anti-allergic effects.
• Volatile Oils: Containing thymol derivatives, which have irritating effects on the respiratory tract and skin, and can promote nasal mucosal ciliary movement.

• Anti-inflammatory effects

The sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoids in *Centipeda minima* extract can inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators (such as histamine and prostaglandins), reducing inflammatory responses. It has inhibitory effects on acute, chronic, and allergic inflammation, helping to relieve rhinitis, arthritis, and skin inflammation.

• Anti-allergic effects

The extract can stabilize mast cell membranes, inhibit the release of allergic mediators such as histamine, and reduce the intensity of allergic reactions. It has a relieving effect on allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, urticaria, and asthma, reducing symptoms such as nasal itching, sneezing, and rashes.

• Antibacterial and bacteriostatic effects

It has inhibitory effects on various bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It can be used as an adjunct treatment for skin infections, respiratory infections, and intestinal infections. Topical application can promote wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.

• Antitussive and Asthma-Relieving Effects

The volatile oil and ethanol extract can inhibit airway hyperresponsiveness, thin sputum, promote respiratory ciliary movement, and relieve symptoms of cough, phlegm, and wheezing. It has certain therapeutic effects on cough due to wind-cold, bronchitis, and pertussis.

• Hepatoprotective Effects

The extract can reduce serum alanine aminotransferase and other indicators in liver injury models, alleviate hepatocyte damage, and promote hepatocyte repair. It has a certain protective effect against alcoholic liver injury and drug-induced liver injury.

• Neuroprotective Effects

Some studies have shown that *Centipeda minima* extract can protect neurons from oxidative stress damage through antioxidant and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, which may help improve symptoms related to neurodegenerative diseases. However, further research is needed to support this finding.
