This study evaluated the effects of three irrigation treatments (control (rain-fed plants), deficit (DI: 50% maximum field capacity), full (FI: 100% capacity)), and two crop-management (with or without crop rotation with bean, CR, NCR, respectively) on plant growth chemical composition C. spinosum. The results indicated that combined increased weight leaves per plant, followed by rain-fed plants for same treatment. Additionally, these factors significantly influenced nutritional profile, free sugars, organic acid content in a variable manner. Moreover, control treatment K, Na, Mg, which are highly mobile nutrients, whereas levels moderately nutrients such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn decreased. Deficit total tocopherols, rotation. main fatty acids were α-linolenic (C18:3n3), palmitic (C16:0) linoleic (C18:2n6), while PUFA decreased SFA content. Furthermore, induced accumulation phenolic compounds, flavonoids, acids, especially major compounds (e.g., chicoric acid, quercetin-O-hexurunoside, luteolin-O-hexurunoside). leaf extracts exhibited varied antioxidant activity (assessed TBARS OxHLIA assays), antimicrobial activity. On other hand, no antifungal, antiproliferative (except AGS cell line), hepatotoxic, anti-inflammatory recorded. In conclusion, combination bean positively affected quality traits fresh leaves, thus suggesting eco-friendly practices could have beneficial cultivation spinosum within context climate-change mitigation strategies.

Cichorium intybus in Translational Medicine: Phytochemicals, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Applications

Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(5), P. 104 - 113

Published: May 15, 2025

Cichorium intybus (chicory) has long held a prominent place in traditional medicine, valued for its hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. While ethnomedicinal uses are well-documented, the scientific exploration of therapeutic potential is scattered often lacks standardization, particularly concerning phytochemical consistency, pharmacokinetics, translational applicability. This review consolidates critically analyzes current knowledge on bioactive constituents C. intybus, including polyphenols, inulin, sesquiterpene lactones, which exert multi-target effects through modulation inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, hepatic function. Despite encouraging preclinical outcomes, clinical development intybus-based interventions faces significant challenges such as low solubility, limited bioavailability, paucity well-structured human trials. Novel formulation strategies nano-based delivery systems, alongside emerging tools like systems pharmacology artificial intelligence, present promising avenues to overcome these limitations. Regulatory harmonization interdisciplinary collaboration critical translating findings into effective products. highlights untapped value emphasizes gaps limiting modern medical use, proposes strategic innovations accelerate integration evidence-based pharmacology.
