Nettle Pharmacology:Other activities.:

Compounds that induce differentiation are considered potential anticancer agents, because they may induce malignant cells to differentiate into normal cells. Urtica dioica demonstrated fungistatic activity in an in vitro study. An aqueous extract of aerial parts administered to male rats demonstrated an acute hypotensive action indicating a direct effect on the cardiovascular system as well as diuretic and natriuretic effects, suggesting an action on renal function (5). Teucher et al. studied the effect of Urtica dioica extract on cytokine secretion in 20 volunteers and found out that ingesting two capsules of nettle leaf extract twice daily for 21 days resulted in a decrease of lipopolysaccharide stimulated TNF-alpha, and IL-1 beta releases in whole blood. Taskila et al. found that in stinging nettle-induced urticaria there was no release of LTC4, but a weak release of histamine.
