Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient exerts its beneficial effects by modulating inflammatory pathways, specifically inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO) and the expression of iNOS and COX-2 enzymes. Its antioxidant capacity is attributed to a rich content of flavonoids and polyphenols, which combat oxidative stress. Furthermore, it possesses intrinsic antimicrobial and antifungal properties that contribute to overall skin health and can aid in formulation preservation.

Key findings

  1. 01 Stilbene dimer trans-scirpusin B and trimer cyperusphenol B, isolated from the root extract, demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibitory activity against nitric oxide production and reduced iNOS and COX-2 expression in LPS-treated murine macrophages (in vitro) at concentrations between 1-10 µM.
  2. 02 An ethanolic extract showed antiproliferative activity on cancer cells (glioblastoma, breast, lung) in vitro at concentrations from 12.5-50 µg/mL, while exhibiting low cytotoxicity on healthy cells at concentrations below 50 µg/mL.
  3. 03 Cyperus articulatus essential oil has been traditionally used for topical analgesic application when diluted in a carrier oil to a 1-2% concentration.
