Onopordum acanthium
Majestic silvery thistle; national symbol of Scotland; used in European folk medicine for cancer and fever.
Onopordum acanthium (cotton thistle) is a majestic silvery thistle, national symbol of Scotland, traditionally used in European folk medicine for cancer and fever. Modern research indicates anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antioxidant activities, attributed to sesquiterpene lactones (onopordine, acanthoidin), flavonoids, and polyphenols. Evidence is limited (Grade C) to traditional use.
Onopordine and acanthoidin inhibit NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Flavonoids (e.g., luteolin, apigenin) scavenge free radicals and upregulate antioxidant enzymes. Hepatoprotective effects involve modulation of liver enzymes (ALT, AST) and reduction of oxidative stress. Traditional anticancer use may relate to induction of apoptosis via caspase activation, but clinical evidence is lacking.
