Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum L.) as a Novel Multipurpose Crop for Agriculture in Marginal Environments: A Review

Roberto Marceddu et al.

Summary: Milk thistle is a versatile crop with reliable source of silymarin. Although there have been many studies on its bioactivity, phytochemistry, and genetics, research on its agronomy and farm opportunities is limited. However, its multiple potential uses and reduced need for external inputs make it an interesting alternative crop, especially for marginal environments.

Yield and silymarin content in milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.) fruits affected by the nitrogen fertilizers

Vasiliki Liava et al.

Summary: The study found that nitrogen fertilization significantly influenced the growth and fruit yield of milk thistle, with high nitrogen levels leading to increased fruit yield. However, nitrogen fertilization did not impact the accumulation of oil and silymarin in the fruits, although it did affect oil and silymarin yield.

Systematic review of pharmacokinetics and potential pharmacokinetic interactions of flavonolignans from silymarin

Vaclav Tvrdy et al.

Summary: Silymarin, extracted from the seeds of Silybum marianum, contains flavonolignans and flavonoids and is used as a hepatoprotective agent. However, its low oral bioavailability and potential drug interactions have sparked debates. The main reasons for poor systemic oral bioavailability are rapid conjugation and efflux of flavonolignans, with most human studies showing no interactions with other drugs.
