Abstract EN
There are 230 to 240 known Bidens species.
Among them, Bidens pilosa is a representative perennial herb, globally distributed across temperate and tropical regions.
B.
pilosa has been traditionally used in foods and medicines without obvious adverse effects.
Despite significant progress in phytochemical and biological analyses of B.
pilosa over the past few years, comprehensive and critical reviews of this plant are anachronistic or relatively limited in scope.
The present review aims to summarize up-to-date information on the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of B.
pilosa from the literature.
In addition to botanical studies and records of the traditional use of B.
pilosa in over 40 diseases, scientific studies investigating the potential medicinal uses of this species and its constituent phytochemicals for a variety of disorders are presented and discussed.
The structure, bioactivity, and likely mechanisms of action of B.
pilosa and its phytochemicals are emphasized.
Although some progress has been made, further rigorous efforts are required to investigate the individual compounds isolated from B.
pilosa to understand and validate its traditional uses and develop clinical applications.
The present review provides preliminary information and gives guidance for further basic and clinical research into this plant.
