hesperethusa
Naringi crenulata
Naringi crenulata is a plant with origins in traditional medicine practices, though specific uses are not well-documented. Scientific studies have shown that silver nanoparticles synthesized from its leaf extract exhibit antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria and promote wound healing in experimental models. Five new compounds, including four limonoids, were identified in the stem of Naringi crenulata, along with several known substances such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, reducing sugars, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins. The lack of triterpenoids, anthraquinones, and quinones was noted but does not appear to indicate any major safety concerns or drug interactions at this time.
