Black bryony/Drug Interactions:

  • Anti inflammatory agentsAnti inflammatory agents: Based on animal studies, rhizomes of Tamus communis may have anti-inflammatory effects comparable to hydrocortisone (1; 4).
  • Antineoplastic agentsAntineoplastic agents: Based on laboratory studies, phenanthrenes derived from T conmmunis rhizomes may have antineoplastic activity against cervical cancer cells (2; 3).
  • Antiviral agentsAntiviral agents: Phenanthrene derivatives from Tamus communis rhizomes have been studied for activity against vesicular stomatitis virus and human rhinovirus type 1B (5).

    • Black bryony/Herb/Supplement Interactions:

  • Anti inflammatory herbsAnti inflammatory herbs: Based on animal studies, rhizomes of Tamus communis may have anti-inflammatory effects comparable to hydrocortisone (1; 4).
  • AntineoplasticsAntineoplastics: Based on laboratory studies, phenanthrenes derived from T. conmmunis rhizomes may have antineoplastic activity against cervical cancer cells (2; 3).

    • Black bryony/Food Interactions:

  • Insufficient available evidence.

    • Black bryony/Lab Interactions:

  • Cortisol/ACTH valuesCortisol/ACTH values: Based on animal studies, rhizomes of Tamus communis may potentially influence cortisol and ACTH values, and may potentially influence laboratory markers of glucosteroid-associated impaired anabolic processes and adrenal suppression (1; 4).
