   • Selon Wang J (2023)

     Extrait Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill., a member of the Cactaceae family, contains a diverse array of phytochemicals, including flavonoids, polyphenols, Betalains, & tannins, which have been shown to exhibit potent anticancer properties. Most anticancer studies on OFI & its purified metabolites are related to colorectal/colon cancer, followed by melanoma & breast cancer.

   • Selon Martínez E (2021)

     Extrait The clarified juice extracted from yellow Opuntia ficus-indica fruit displayed antioxidant activity as well as a selective cytotoxic effect on a liver cancer cell line with no toxic effect on fibroblasts. Their phenolic compositions were quantified through high performance liquid chromatography & the percentages of cell proliferation of fibroblasts as well as breast, prostate, colorectal, & liver cancer cell lines were evaluated though in vitro assays.

   • Selon Naselli F (2014)

     Extrait The effect of the aqueous extract from the edible fruit of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI extract), & of its betalain pigment indicaxanthin (Ind), on proliferation of human colon cancer Caco-2 cells has been investigated.

   • Selon Serra AT (2013)

     Extrait Hydroalcoholic extraction & adsorption separation processes (with Amberlite XAD16 resin) were used to produce natural extracts from residues of Opuntia ficus-indica & O robusta & their antiproliferative effect was evaluated in human colon carcinoma HT29 cell line. Moreover, the extracts that presented the lowest effective dose values in terms of polyphenols (ED50 value b 0.5 mg GAE/mL) showed to increase intracellular ROS accumulation in HT29 cells, suggesting that cancer cell death may be induced by the pro-oxidant effect of these compounds.

   • Selon Becer E (2018)

     Extrait The aim of this study was to analyse of the fatty acid content & apoptotic induction effects of spiny & thornless Opuntia ficus indica L. Opuntia ficus indica L.

   • Selon Shirazinia R (2019)

     Extrait Opuntia dillenii, a well-known member of the Cactaceae family, is used as a medicinal plant in various countries & grows in the desert, semi-desert, tropical & sub-tropical areas. It shows diverse pharmacological activities such as: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, hypotensive etc.

   • Selon Kaur M (2012)

     Extrait Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) belongs to the family Cactaceae. It has been used in traditional folk medicine because of its role in treating a number of diseases & conditions, including anti-inflammatory effects hypoglycemic effects inhibition of stomach ulceration, neuroprotective effects Through antioxidant actions & also used for treating diabetes, burns, bronchial, asthma & indigestion in many countries over the world.

   • Selon Elsawi SA (2020)

     Extrait Opuntia ficus-indica extract has been used in traditional folk medicine for several purposes & exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. It could be concluded that OFI fruit peel extract can be regarded as a potential agent in limiting colonic complications due to irradiation, possibly by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

   • Selon Terzo S (2021)

     Extrait Indicaxanthin, a bioavailable betalain pigment from Opuntia ficus-indica fruit, has been demonstrated to modulate redox-dependent signalling pathways, exerting significant anti-oxidative & anti-inflammatory effects in vitro & in vivo. In light of the strict interconnections between inflammation, oxidative stress & insulin resistance (IR), a nutritionally relevant dose of indicaxanthin has been evaluated in a high-fat diet (HFD) model of obesity-related IR.

   • Selon Auteur (2016)

     Extrait Strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides were identified from raw prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.). Started FP markedly inhibited the inflammatory status of Caco-2/TC7 cells, and also contributed to maintaining the integrity of tight junctions.

   • Selon Rtibi K (2018)

     Extrait The phytochemical composition & the effect of the green and ripe Opuntia ficus-indicajuice on some gastrointestinal (GI) physiological parameters such as stomach emptying and small-intestinal motility and permeability were determined in rats administered multiple concentrations of the prickly pear juice (5, 10, and 20 mL kg−1, b.w., p.o.). Mature OLI juice administration stimulated significantly and dose dependently the GI transit (GIT; 8–26%) & gastric emptying (0.9–11%) in a rat model.

   • Selon Rtibi K (2018)

     Extrait These findings confirm the reverse therapeutic effects of this fruit in the treatment of digestive disturbances such as difficulty stool evacuation & massive intestinal secretion, likewise, the gastric emptying process perturbation. This study was conducted to compare the effects of juice and seeds on gastric emptying, small‐bowel motility and intestinal ion transport.

   • Selon Park EH (1998)

     Extrait The ethanol extracts ofOpuntia ficus-indica fructus (EEOF) & Opuntia ficus-indica stem (EEOS) were prepared & used to evaluate the pharmacological effects of cactus. From the results it is suggested that the cactus extracts contain anti-inflammatory action having protective effect against gastric lesions.

     Extrait The extracts of Opuntia ficus-Indica cladodes are used in folk medicine for their antiulcer & wound-healing activities. ficus-indica extracts on skin lesions accelerates the reepithelization and remodeling phases, also by affecting cell–matrix interactions and by modulating laminin deposition.

   • Selon Kim SH (2012)

     Extrait Cactus pear fruit (Opuntia ficus‐indica) extract (CPFE) was investigated for its antioxidative & DNA damage reduction using electron spin resonance spectroscopy & comet assays on human peripheral lymphocytes, respectively.
