Natural compounds in carnivorous plants could fight human fungal infections

"For a study just published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, the Israeli researchers investigated the biology of the carnivorous plant Nepenthes khasiana, which is native to India. In a media statement, Prof. Aviah Zilberstein of Tel Aviv University's Department of Plant Sciences concluded the compounds in this plant could serve as a new class of anti-fungal drugs for use in human medicine. That's because the unusual natural compounds obtained from the plant's pitcher -- specifically those known as secondary metabolites -- were found to be effective anti-fungal agents against human fungal infections that are often widespread in hospitals."

Em relação a isso só posso disser que uso muito pouco do liquido que existe nos pitchers das minhas para combater as zonas mais afectadas por fungus nas plantas carnívoras e funciona na perfeição.
