Tanacetum aucheranum and Tanacetum chiliophyllum var. chiliophyllum, Asteraceae, are common in Europe and western Asia. The EOs were tested for their potential to inhibit germination and seedling growth of Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album, and Rumex crispus, in which they were very successful. Besides their herbicidal effect, they also have antibacterial and antifungal activity (Salamci et al., 2007).

Rumex crispus contains many bioactive compounds (emodin, chrysophanol, physcion, rutin, stilbenes, and rumexoids), and is used for therapeutic medicine for antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fertility, and anti-viral activities [55, 89]. Method of Use: One teaspoon of yellow dock root powder is added into a cup of boiled water and is soaked for 10 minutes; the tea is drunk once a day for a week. This preparation is used even as a disinfectant and detoxifier [83].

A herbal medicinal product for the treatment of ARS is BNO 1016 (Sinupret® extract), comprising a dry extract of gentian root (Gentiana lutea L.), primula flower (Primula veris L.), sorrel herb (Rumex crispus L.), elder flower (Sambucus nigra L.), and verbena herb (Verbena officinalis L.). BNO 1016 or BNO 1011 (same as BNO 1016, but without excipients) exerted well-documented mucosecretolytic and secretomotoric [8–11], anti-inflammatory [12,13] as well as antiviral [14,15] effects in vitro and in vivo. But what about clinical, human data to evaluate the benefit of a medicinal product?
Effects and mechanisms of natural plant active compounds for the treatment of osteoclast-mediated bone destructive diseases
Published in Journal of Drug Targeting, 2022
Qiang Xu, Zhiyou Cao, JiaQiang Xu, Min Dai, Bin Zhang, Qi Lai, Xuqiang Liu
Numerous other active compounds inhibit osteoclastogenesis by regulating various signal transduction pathways (Table 7). Emodin and chrysophanol extracted from the roots of Rumex crispus, which have traditionally been used in Asian medicine for the treatment of haemorrhage and dermatolosis, suppress RANKL-induced trabecular bone loss by preventing microstructural deterioration of the bone and osteoclast differentiation by suppressing the RANKL-induced activation of MAPK and NF-κB, and by downregulating the expression of NFATc1 [141]. Because they are structurally similar, their pharmacological effects are also similar.
