Sophora flavescens (Ku Shen) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine herb primarily researched for anti-cancer properties. Also may inhibit 5-alpha reductase (promoting hair growth) and PDE5 (promoting erections). Contains matrine and oxymatrine alkaloids. NO GRADED OUTCOMES - research is mainly preclinical. Some human studies exist in cancer patients (often IV injection, not oral supplements). The alkaloids have interesting pharmacology but also potential toxicity concerns, especially matrine. Not recommended for self-treatment; would require medical supervision for any therapeutic use.

Bakuchi
1 shared condition · 5 outcomes
Psoralea corylifolia contains psoralen (a furocoumarin that intercalates DNA upon UV exposure, used in PUVA therapy) and bakuchiol (a meroterpene phenol with retinol-like activity). A double-blind RCT (n=44) found 0.5% bakuchiol cream comparable to 0.5% retinol for reducing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation after 12 weeks, with significantly better tolerability (less scaling/stinging). Bakuchiol shows antioxidant effects, increases collagen (COL1A1, COL7A1), and enhances wound healing. For vitiligo, psoralen-containing preparations have traditional use and case study support, but robust RCT evidence is lacking. Preclinical data suggests bone-protective effects via prenylated isoflavones and catecholamine-modulating antidepressant properties.
