arctium lappa chloroform extract

*Arctium lappa* chloroform extract is a non-polar fraction derived from the roots of the Burdock plant (*Arctium lappa* L.). This specific extract is often studied for its high concentration of lipophilic bioactive compounds, such as lignans (e.g., arctigenin and arctiin), which possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-atherosclerotic properties. In preclinical models, such as high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis in quail, the chloroform extract has demonstrated protective effects by modulating lipid profiles and reducing vascular plaque formation. It is primarily used in ethnopharmacological research and as a component in dietary supplements rather than as a regulated pharmaceutical drug.
