Abstract

The milky juice of the greater celandine herb has been used in folk medicine and in homeopathy for treatment of viral warts for years. However, classical medicine fails to use properties of celandine herbs in treatment of diseases induced by papilloma viruses. Nevertheless, dermatological outpatient clinics are regularly visited by patients reporting efficacy of milky sap isolated from celandine herb in treatment of their own viral warts. Authors of this report decided to analyze the respective world literature in order to critically evaluate the potential for treatment of viral dermal warts using the milky sap of celandine. Moreover, the case of a 4-year old boy was presented, the parents of whom applied the milky sap of celandine on viral warts on hands. Thus, Ch. majus may be a potential therapeutic modality for skin warts, especially in a young patients, where conventional therapy may be difficult to apply.

1. Introduction

Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus L. – Papaveraceae) is a perennial plant growing in regions of moderate climate, on the continents of Europe, Asia, North America and in a part of Northwest Africa. In Poland it is found across the entire country. Greater celandine prefers humid soils, rich in nitrogen and calcium [1]. Most frequently it appears as a ruderal weed in shaded sites.

The plant manifests a thick, fusiform, strongly branched root and a thin, forked and sparsely haired stalk, reaching up to 50 cm. The leafage of the celandine herb shows an alternate arrangement. The leaves are pinnate with lobed and wavy-edged margins. Flowers of greater celandine are four-petalled, yellow, radial, in loose corymbs. The phenological period of the blooming phase spans May and September. The fruits manifest the shape of long, cylindrical capsules. All parts of the plant contain a milky sap of yellow-orange color. The flowers are self-pollinating although cross-pollination may also take place. For best cultivation purposes, seeds of greater celandine should best be sown in the autumn [2].

The greater celandine herb is rich in medically valuable natural compounds (Figure 1). Their highest amounts are contained in immature fruits (2.4%) and in roots (4%), while the aerial parts of the plant contain around 0.5% of active compounds. The plant contains, first of all, alkaloids: benzylisoquinolic compounds (0.01%–1%), such as sanguinarine (1), chelidonine (2) and chelerythrine (3) and protoberberines, berberine (4), coptisine (5), protopine (6), allocryptopine (7), stylopine (8). An important group of active compounds involves phenolic acids (caffeic acid (9) and their esters, ferulic acid (10) and p-coumaric acid (11)) as well as chelidonic acid (12) and caffeoyl-malic acid (13) [3,4]

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
    and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming
    having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart
    so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
