Zaluzania triloba

Zaluzania triloba, a plant native to certain regions, has not been traditionally used in any known medical practices. Scientific evidence is limited and does not provide information on its traditional uses or specific applications. Studies have focused on ecological impacts, such as the effect of mining activities near Villa de la Paz, which resulted in lower biodiversity and altered species composition. In Mexican Traditional Medicine, 185 plant species are commonly used for women's reproductive health issues, but Zaluzania triloba is not among them. The plant has been studied for its chemical structures, with the determination of mono-, bis-, and tris-dihalocyclopropane adducts from costunolide lactone through NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Safety concerns are currently non-existent, with no major issues recorded. There is also no reported data on drug interactions involving this plant.
