Efectos biológicos y terapéuticosde Cibotium barometz, planta de la medicina tradicional: Revisión exploratoria.

Abstract

Abstract. This review aims to provide a current overview of the evidence for the biological and therapeutic effects of Cibotium barometz and its poten-tial to treat various conditions. The present review was performed following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The search used PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase databases, and Google Scholar. The information extracted from the studies was synthesized qualitatively. Through the search, 902 records were found, of which, after the selection process, 17 full-text articles were evaluated, but only 14 articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. The reported biological and therapeutic activities of Cibotium barometz are antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer pretreatment, stimulation of chondrocyte proliferation, osteoprotective, and hepatoprotective.The evidence found suggests that C. barometz has various biological and therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo, which is why it is a relevant topic that could be consid-ered to establish a more significant number of phytochemical characterization studies, as well as clinical studies that provide solid evidence and determine other possible therapeutic uses.
