   • According to Karbon MH (2020)

     Excerpt It can be concluded that aqueous ethanolic extract of Typha domingensis (Pers) (Pollen) may offer a therapeutic candidate against ER+ breast cancer cells. This study aimed to investigate the anticancer activity of aqueous-ethanol extract of Typha domingensis (Pers) (Pollen), a plant that grows widely in the marsh’s areas south of Iraq.

   • According to Al-Kalifawi, EJ (2017)

     Excerpt This study was conducted to investigate Physicochemical, phytochemical profiling & biological activities of the leaves extract of Bardy: Typha domingensis Pers collected from Al-Chibayish marshes in southern Iraq. The results obtained indicate that methanolic leaf extract of TD significantly decreased (p < 0.05) the bleeding time, prothrombin time & clotting time respectively in a dose dependent manner.

   • According to Qin F (2005)

     Excerpt The immunosuppressive activity of the ethanol extract of Pollen Typhae (EEPT) consisting of a mixture of flavonoids, steroids & volatile oils was studied on the immune responses in mice. EEPT significantly suppressed concanavalin A (Con A)- & lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated splenocyte proliferation in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner.

2. 2

   Bacterial infection: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus faecalis

   Plant part used: Aerial parts.

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to Koschevic MT (2021)

     Excerpt The new materials obtained were carefully investigated for their structure & thermal stability, morphology & susceptibility to antimicrobials (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, & Salmonella enteritidis). Typha domingensis (Cattail) fiber is a significant natural resource, abundant in cellulose.

Further indications (including other extraction modes where applicable), dosages, precautions for use, and the <strong>full scientific references</strong> (complete records, not only the short excerpts above) are available in the complete monographic record in the Lapo v2 application.
