Cúc liên chi dại

Cúc liên chi dại – Parthenium hysterophorus L., thuộc họ Cúc – Asteraceae.

Mô tả: Cây thảo phân nhánh cao 0,25 đến 1m; thân có rãnh gần như nhẵn. Lá xẻ hai lần lông chim, dài tới 11cm và rộng tới 6cm, các lá trên nguyên, mặt trên có lông bột, mặt dưới có lông xám. Đầu hoa có 5 góc, đường kính 4-8mm, xếp thành chuỳ thưa ở ngọn cây; lưỡi hoa màu trắng, hình thận, nhỏ; hoa nhỏ màu trắng. Quả bế hình trứng ngược rộng, dài cỡ 2mm, có lông ở đỉnh.

Cây có hoa quả kéo dài từ tháng 10 đến tháng 6 năm sau.

Bộ phận dùng: Thân mang lá và lá – Caulis et Folium Parthenii.

Nơi sống và thu hái: Gốc ở châu Mỹ nhiệt đới, được phát tán vào nhiều xứ nhiệt đới khác. Ở nước ta, thường gặp cây mọc dại ở nhiều nơi, nhất là ở Hà Nội và các vùng lân cận dọc theo các đường đi, các bãi cát.

Thành phần hoá học: Cây chứa alcaloid parthenin. Lá và hoa chứa alcaloid parthenicin.

Tính vị, tác dụng: Vị đắng, có tác dụng gây chảy nước bọt, làm giảm đau nhức, làm săn da.

Công dụng, chỉ định và phối hợp: Ở nước ta, cây ít được dùng, nhưng ở một số nước Trung Mỹ như Jamaica, Đôminica, người ta sử dụng lá, đem giã ra và trộn với dầu thầu dầu để xát kích thích sự giảm bớt sản dịch. Thân mang lá hãm hoặc sắc uống để trị chứng tim đập nhanh. Còn được dùng chữa các vết loét, một số bệnh ngoài da, như bệnh ecpet (mụn rộp loang vòng). Các chiết xuất parthenin được dùng với liều nhỏ tăng dần từ 100mg đến 2g để giúp sự tiêu hoá; còn parthenicin, với liều 1g ngày, dùng để làm thuốc hạ nhiệt, giảm đau; với liều cao nó gây độc.

Parthenium hysterophorus is used as a vegetable and in the treatment of various human ailments

traditionally in Pakistan. The current study was arranged to investigate the nutritional importance,

microbial inhibition and its potency against free radicals. The results revealed that extract possesses

macro elements Ca, K, Na, Mg, Fe, Zn, as well as micro elements including Ni, Li, Pb, Co, Mn, Cu, Cr,

and Cd. Scavenging of free radicals revealed that methanolic extract of P. hysterophorus (PM)

possesses lowest IC50 (2.5 ± 0.05 µg/ml) comparatively to ascorbic acid (3.7 ± 0.03) and n-hexane

extract of P. hysterophorus (PH) (5.1 ± 0.07 µg/ml). The extracts also showed maximum antibacterial

potential in various concentrations of n-hexane and methanolic extract of P. hysterophorus. The results

revealed that P. hysterophorus contain a remarkable fungal inhibition due to the presence of bioactive

constituents. Based on this screening various fractions of P. hysterophorus are recommended for

future bioassay guided isolation of bioactive constituents.

Parthenium hysterophorus L. [syn. Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch. Bip.; Chrysanthemum parthenium (L.) Bernh.; Matricaria parthenium L, M. parthenoides Hort., M. carpensis Hort., M. eximia Hort., M. odorata Lam; Pyrethrum parthenium Smith] Compositae, is known as congress weed, carrot weed, star weed, feverfew, white top, chatak chandani, bitter weed, ramphool, garghas. It is believed to have entered India accidentally in the mid 1950s, and is now considered is one of the most feared noxious weed species (Rao 1956). Adverse effects of on humans and on animal health have been well documented. It is known to cause asthma, bronchits, dermatitis, and hay fever in man and livestock. The chemical analysis has indicated that all the plants parts including trichomes and pollen contain toxins called sesquiterpene lactones. The major components of toxic being parthenin and other phenolic acids such as caffeic acid, vanillic acid, ansic acid, p-anisic acid, chlorogenic acid, and parahydroxy benzoic acid are lethal to human beings and animals (Mahadevappa 1997; Oudhia 1998). Despite the fact that Parthenium is considered a toxic plant industrial uses are reported in the literatures (Sastri and Kavathekar 1990). A related species, Parthenium argentatum Gray (guayule) yields rubber which can substitute for Hevea rubber.

The word parthenium is derived from the Latin parthenice suggesting medicinal uses (Bailey 1960). John Lindley (1838) in Flora Medica describes the plant as follows: "The whole plant is bitter and strong-scented, reckoned tonic, stimulating and anti-hysteric. It was once a popular remedy in ague. Its odour is said to be peculiarly disagree to bees and that insects may be easily kept at a distance by carrying a handful of the flower heads." In Homoeopathy system, allergies caused by Parthenium can be treated by a drug prepared from Parthenium. In Finland an infusion of Partenium is used in for consumption.

In the Dictionary of Economic Plants in India Parthenium hysterophourus is described as a weed found in Poona and is reported to be used as tonic, febrifuge, and emmenagogue. Root decoction is useful in dysentery (Singh et al. 1996). Mew et al. (1982) demonstrated that sublethal doses of parthenin exhibited antitumor activity in mice and that the drug could either cure mice completely or increase their survival time after they had been injected with cancer cells. Parthenium is also reported as promising remedy against hepatic amoebiasis (Sharma and Bhutani,1988). South American Indian uses a decoction of roots to cure amoebic dysentery (Uphof 1959) whereas parthenin, a toxin of Parthenium, is found pharmacologically active against neuralgia and certain types of rheumatism). In Compendium of Indian Medicinal Plants by Rastogi and Mehrotra (1991) parthenin induced dose-dependent damage to human leucocyte chromosomes in vitro and micronuclei formation in polychromatic erythrocytes of mice is reported (Dominguez and Sierra, 1970).

Parthenium is used as folk remedy in the Caribbean and Central America (Nabie et al. 1996). It is applied externally on skin disorders and decoction of the plant is often taken internally as a remedy for a wide variety of ailments (Dominguez and Sierra 1970; Morton 1981). In Jamaica the decoction is used as a flea-repellent both for dogs and other animals (Morton 1981).

Into the lizard skin


Image by Ma.LiEs
Celebration of the Lizard

Lions in the street and roaming

Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming

A beast caged in the heart of a city

The body of his mother

Rotting in the summer ground

He fled the town

He went down South and crossed the border

Left chaos and disorder

Back there over his shoulder

One morning he awoke in a green hotel

With a strange creature groaning beside him

Sweat oozed from its shining skin

is everybody in?

is everybody in?

is everybody in?

the ceremony is about to begin

Wake up!

You can’t remember where it was

Had this dream stopped?

The snake was pale gold

Glazed and shrunken

We were afraid to touch it

The sheets were hot dead prisons

And she was beside me

Old, she’s no, young

Her dark red hair

the white soft skin

Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom

Look!

shes coming in here

I can’t live thru each slow century of her moving

I let my cheek slide down

The cool smooth tile

Feel the good cold stinging blood

The smooth hissing snakes of rain . . .

Once I had, a little game

I liked to crawl, back in my brain

I think you know, the game I mean

I mean the game, called ‘go insane’

you should try, this little game

Just close your eyes, forget your name

Forget the world, forget the people

And we’ll erect, a different steeple

This little game, is fun to do

Just close your eyes, no way to lose

And I’m right there, I’m going too

Release control, we’re breaking thru

Way back deep into the brain

Back where there’s never any pain

And the rain falls gently on the town

And over the heads of all of us

And in the labyrinth of streams

Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of

gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around

Reptiles abounding

Fossils, caves, cool air heights

Each house repeats a mold

Windows rolled

Beast car locked in against morning

All now sleeping

Rugs silent, mirrors vacant

Dust Lying under the beds of lawful couples

Wound in sheets

And daughters, smug

With semen eyes in their nipples

Wait

There’s been a slaughter here

(Don’t stop to speak or look around

Your gloves and fan are on the ground

We’re getting out of town

We’re going on the run

And you’re the one I want to come)

Not to touch the earth

Not to see the sun

Nothing left to do, but

Run, run, run

Let’s run

lets run

House upon the hill

Moon is lying still

Shadows of the trees

Witnessing the wild breeze

C’mon baby run with me

Let’s run

Run with me

Run with me

Run with me

Let’s run

The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill

Rich are the rooms and the comforts there

Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs

And you won’t know a thing till you get inside

Dead president’s corpse in the driver’s car

The engine runs on glue and tar

C’mon along, we’re not going very far

To the East to meet the Czar

run with me

run with me

run with me

let’s run

Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake

The minister’s daughter’s in love with the snake

Who lives in a well by the side of the road

Wake up, girl! We’re almost home

We should see the gates by mornin’

We should be inside by evening,

sun sun sun

burn burn burn

burn, burn, burn,

i will get you

soon,

soon,

soon

i am the lizard king

i can do anything

We came down

The rivers and highways

We came down from

Forests and falls

We came down from

Carson and Springfield

We came down from

Phoenix enthralled

And I can tell you

The names of the Kingdom

I can tell you

The things that you know

Listening for a fistful of silence

Climbing valleys into the shade

for seven years, i dwelt

in the loose palace of exile

playing strange games with the girls of the island

now, i have come again

to the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise

brothers and sisters of the pale forest

children of night

who among you will run with the hunt?

now night arives with her purple legion

Retire now to your tents and to your dreams

Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth

I want to be ready’
