Chamomile is also known as camomile, common name of
many species daisy-like plants in the family Asteraceae. The herb has
been used in traditional medicine as antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory
constituents and to treat menstrual cramps and sleep disorders, reduce
cramping and spastic pain in the bowels, relieve excessive gas and
bloating in the intestine, etc.
Ingredients
Guaianolides matricarin and achillin, acetoxyachillin and leucodin (=
desacetoxymatricarin), corresponding C-11
stereoisomers(a),(Z)-2-β-d-glucopyranosyloxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid
(cis-GMCA), chlorogenic acid,
(E)-2-β-d-glucopyranosyloxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid (trans-GMCA),
quercetagetin-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-β-d-glucoside,
apigenin-7-O-β-d-glucoside, chamaemeloside, apigenin
7-O-(6″-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranoside), apigenin] and one polyacetylene
(tonghaosu)(b).
Basal cell cancer is the most common type of skin cancer
as a result of abnormal growth of the cells in the lowest layer of the
epidermis. The cancer rarely spread and kill but can cause significant
destruction and disfigurement to the affected skin area and accounted
for more than 90% of all skin cancer in the U.S.
According to statistic, skin cancers accounted for approximately 40% of
all cancers reported in the United States and approximately 9,500 deaths
per year. Herbal chamomile showed to inhibited skin cancer cell lines
through its antioxidant effects via inhibition of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) type free radicals probably via downregulation of
H2O2-generated free radicals in human skin fibroblasts (1). Apigenin ,
a chemical constituent of flavonoid found in chamomile, with 10 mumoles
apigenin in 200 microliters DMSO:acetone (1:9) prior to each UVB
exposure showed a promised resulted in reduction in cancer
incidence (52% inhibition), through absorbing ultraviolet light or
decreasing DNA damage(2). In support of the above, the National Taiwan
University, indicated that a effectiveness of apigenin, in suppression
of 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate-(TPA)-mediated tumor promotion
of mouse skin, through vary mechanisms(3).
