Résumé
Pulsatilla vulgaris is a perennial plant containing compounds such as protoanemonin and anemonin [PMID:29999784, PMID:32497949]. While it has been studied for potential cancer-inhibiting properties in vitro, the fresh plant is noted to be irritating to the skin and mucous membranes [PMID:29999784, PMID:36674653].
Contexte
Pulsatilla vulgaris (Pasque flower) is a member of the Ranunculaceae family and is considered a rare and endangered species in various regions, including Europe and Russia [PMID:29999784, PMID:41702734].
Usages traditionnels
In the Republic of Korea, a related species, Pulsatilla koreana, is used in herbal and folk medicine for analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and hemostatic effects [PMID:29166255]. Homeopathic preparations of pulsatilla are reportedly used for mastitis, sore nipples, and to modulate milk supply, though no scientifically valid clinical trials support these uses [PMID:29999784].
Composés actifs
Pulsatilla species contain ranunculin, protoanemonin, anemonin, triterpene saponins, and flavonoids [PMID:29999784]. Protoanemonin is a characteristic constituent with antimicrobial and fungicidal properties [PMID:32497949].
Mécanisme d'action
In vitro studies using methanolic root extracts of P. vulgaris demonstrated inhibition of 12 signaling pathways in a cervical cancer cell line (including MYC, Notch, Wnt, E2F, Ets, Stat3, Smad, Hedgehog, AP-1, and NF-κB), which enhanced apoptotic death and deregulated cellular proliferation [PMID:36674653].
Preuves cliniques

Methanolic root extract inhibited 12 signaling pathways and enhanced apoptotic death in vitro [PMID:36674653]
Sécurité et effets indésirables
The fresh plant is extremely irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and mucous membranes [PMID:29999784]. Allergic reactions have been reported [PMID:29999784]. Case reports involving Pulsatilla koreana indicate that incorrect use in herbal massages can result in cutaneous chemical burns [PMID:29166255].
Grossesse et allaitement
Homeopathic preparations are reportedly used for lactation issues, but there is a lack of information and no scientifically valid clinical trials to support these uses; other agents may be preferred in nursing mothers [PMID:29999784].
Synthèse des preuves
The available evidence is primarily based on phytochemical analysis, in vitro cell studies, and case reports of toxicity. There are no high-level clinical trials (RCTs or systematic reviews) supporting the therapeutic efficacy of Pulsatilla vulgaris in humans.
