Recent phytochemical and pharmacological advances in the genus Potentilla L. sensu lato - An update covering the period from 2009 to 2020.
TLDR
In vitro studies must be re-considered due to the discovery of urolithins and their origins, including microbiota, which can lead to different results when applying Potentilla species and their extracts to in vivo conditions, so future research should focus more on in vivo studies to confirm the validity and safety of traditional uses.

A comprehensive review of agrimoniin
TLDR
Agrimoniin is a constituent of medicinal plants, which are often applied orally in the form of infusions, decoctions, or tinctures, and is metabolized by human gut microbiota into a series of low‐molecular‐weight urolithins with proven anti‐inflammatory and anticancer in vivo and in vitro bioactivities.

TLDR
Herbal therapies exert their therapeutic benefit via various mechanisms, including immune regulation, anti-oxidant activity, inhibition of leukotriene B4 and nuclear factor-κB, and antiplatelet activity, and large, double-blind clinical studies should be urgently conducted. Expand
