Comments
Studies in rats have reported diuretic activity of extracts of O. stamineus. This has also been demonstrated in the horse. O. stamineus has been shown to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase with the inhibitory activity of the whole extract being greater than could be expected from the activities of each of its flavonoid constituents (synergism may be occurring). O. stamineus extract has also been shown to inhibit spore germination in fungal species tested: Saccharomyces pastorianus, Candida albicans, Rhizopus nigricans, Penicillium digitatum, Fusarium oxysporum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
