Smilax glabra
Thornless climbing vine of southern China used in TCM, particularly for mercury poisoning and syphilis treatment.
Smilax glabra, a thornless vine native to southern China, is traditionally used in TCM for heavy metal detoxification, particularly mercury, and for treating syphilis and skin infections. Its key active compounds include astilbin, engeletin, and other flavanones, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antimicrobial properties. Evidence for its efficacy is limited (Level C), primarily from in vitro and animal studies.
Astilbin, a major flavonoid, exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. The herb also shows hepatoprotective activity through antioxidant mechanisms, scavenging free radicals and enhancing glutathione levels. Its potential chelating properties may involve flavonoid-metal ion interactions, though clinical evidence is lacking. Antimicrobial effects against certain bacteria and fungi are attributed to membrane disruption and enzyme inhibition.
