Of these, the isoquinoline alkaloids are considered characteristic markers for <jats:italic>N. domestica<\/jats:italic>. These alkaloids also showed the most promising bioactivities. The crude extracts or semi-purified constituents of <jats:italic>N. domestica<\/jats:italic> exhibit a variety of activities, including antitumor, dermatological, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and detoxification activities, as well as effects on respiratory system, etc. The fruit is considered poisonous when eaten raw, with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain as side effects after ingestion. Most traditional uses are supported by biological activities demonstrated in modern experimental studies, suggesting a potential medicinal value of <jats:italic>N. domestica<\/jats:italic>. However, more information is needed on its mechanisms of activity, pharmacokinetic profile of the constituents, and its safety and efficacy profile in humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2024.1407140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,9]],"date-time":"2024-07-09T07:14:58Z","timestamp":1720509298000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Nandina domestica Thunb.: a review of traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Huiqin","family":"Qian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanling","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1021","DOI":"10.1016\/s0031-9422(00)82800-9","article-title":"Studies on the identification, biosynthesis and metabolism of a cyanogenic glucoside in Nandina domestica Thunb","volume":"5","author":"Abrol","year":"1966","journal-title":"Phytochemistry"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1002\/jsfa.3416","article-title":"Chemical composition and in vitro control of agricultural plant pathogens by the essential oil and various extracts of Nandina domestica Thunb","volume":"89","author":"Bajpai","year":"","journal-title":"J.
