<p>The abundance of scientific evidence has shown that many synthetic drugs can cause serious adverse effects in patients. Recently, the search of natural therapeutic agents with low adverse effects has attracted much attention. In particular, considerable interest has focused on edible and medicinal plants, which play an important role in human diet, and have been used for disease treatment since ancient times.
<italic>Crataegus monogyna</italic>
Jacq. (hawthorn) is one of the most important edible plants of the Rosaceae family and is also used in traditional medicine. Growing evidence has shown that this plant has various interesting physiological and pharmacological activities due to the presence of different bioactive natural compounds. In addition, scientific evidence suggests that the toxicity of hawthorn is negligible. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide a critical review of the available scientific literature about pharmacological activities as well as botanical aspects, phytochemistry and clinical impacts of

<abstract>
<p>The abundance of scientific evidence has shown that many synthetic drugs can cause serious adverse effects in patients. Recently, the search of natural therapeutic agents with low adverse effects has attracted much attention. In particular, considerable interest has focused on edible and medicinal plants, which play an important role in human diet, and have been used for disease treatment since ancient times.
<italic>Crataegus monogyna</italic>
Jacq. (hawthorn) is one of the most important edible plants of the Rosaceae family and is also used in traditional medicine. Growing evidence has shown that this plant has various interesting physiological and pharmacological activities due to the presence of different bioactive natural compounds. In addition, scientific evidence suggests that the toxicity of hawthorn is negligible. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide a critical review of the available scientific literature about pharmacological activities as well as botanical aspects, phytochemistry and clinical impacts of

<title>1. Introduction</title>
<p>Natural products have been of great importance in disease treatment since ancient times. In fact, in traditional medicine, medicinal plants and herbal formulations play a crucial role in the prevention and mitigation of different human diseases. During the past two decades, herbal medicines have received considerable attention as novel therapeutic options for human disease treatment [

Jacq. (common hawthorn) is an endemic member of the Rosaceae family that grows in Europe, Africa, and Asia, where is commonly found as a shrub or small tree 5–10 m tall [
<xref rid="B9-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. Its small dark-red fruit (commonly called haw), which ripens in mid-autumn, is used for different culinary purposes, such as the preparation of jellies, jams, and syrups [
<xref rid="B10-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. Scientific evidence has demonstrated that hawthorn fruit possesses potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities, due to the presence of different bioactive compounds, such as epicatechin, hyperoside, and chlorogenic acid (

<title>4. Phytochemistry of
<italic>C. Monogyna</italic>
</title>
<p>In view of the traditional medicinal uses of
<italic>C. monogyna</italic>
, modern scientists have extensively investigated the chemical constituents, to which the pharmacological effects could be attributed. The secondary metabolites, extracted from the different parts of the plant, range from simple fatty acids to terpenoid and polyphenolic compounds. Among these latter, many polyphenols were detected in
<italic>C</italic>
.
<italic>monogyna</italic>
, especially in the plants grown in Chile [
<xref rid="B25-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. Several compounds possess antioxidant properties; these include chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, hyperoside, quercetin, rutin, vitexin, and procyanidins [

,
<xref rid="B28-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
]. Generally, flavonoids, particularly flavonols and flavones, are known to be abundant in flower buds, while proanthocyanidins are found in higher amount in unripe fruits [
<xref rid="B29-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
]. In hawthorn, using capillary zone electrophoresis, HPLC, and spectrophotometric analyses, the highest level of flavonoids (rutin, vitexin, vitexin-2′′-

-rhamnoside, and hyperoside) was registered in the leaves collected from the top branches of the trees [
<xref rid="B30-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
]. In addition to the polyphenolic-based antioxidant agents, a number of other compounds have been found, which may contribute to the nutritional value and medicinal properties of the plant. For example, the flowers contain high levels of tocopherols, ascorbic acid, and show a good

<title>4.1. Flavonoids</title>
<p>Flavonoids are a class of polyphenolic compounds that are ubiquitously distributed in the plant kingdom. Structurally, they are composed of two six-member aromatic rings (A and B) joined together by a three-carbon chain that may cyclize to form the third ring, C (1). Depending on the position of the B-ring bond on the three-carbon linking chain (carbon-2, 3, or 4 position) or the chemistry of the linking chain (e.g., presence/absence of a double bond, cyclization, presence/absence of a ketone functional group,
<italic>etc.</italic>
), flavonoids are further subdivided into several classes, such as flavones, flavonols, flavanones, flavans, anthocyanidins, isoflavones, neoflavones, and chalcones. Due to their numerous pharmacological activities, ranging from antioxidant capacity to protective activity against chronic disease, such as cancer, diabetes, and inflammation, flavonoids are by far the most studied classes of secondary plant metabolites [

study by Long

[
<xref rid="B48-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>

The hawthorn effects resulted to be different from those registered with conventional cardioactive drugs such as epinephrine; milrinone; ouabain; and similar to that registered for propranolol; regarding its negative chronotropic activity. Nevertheless; while propanol induced arrhythmia in the majority of the treated cardiomyocytes; on the contrary; hawthorn extract improved rhythmicity. Moreover, in the same research aimed at the evaluation of hawthorn extract mechanism of action; the authors showed that the chronotropic mechanism of action is not due to beta-adrenergic receptor blockade [
<xref rid="B48-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>

].</p>
<p>A triterpene fraction, isolated from the hexane extract and containing cycloartenol as the main component (80.87%), was tested for its anti-inflammatory activity in experimental animals in which inflammation was induced by carrageenan. In rats, at the highest oral dose (40 mg·kg

), the hind-paw edema inhibition was 61.5% and 52.5% at 3 and 5 h of treatment, respectively. At the doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg·kg

, peritoneal leucocyte infiltration inhibition was 41.9%, 64.7%, and 89.4%, respectively. The same triterpene fraction was also submitted to an

test to verify its capacity to inhibit phospholipase A

These results indicated the anti-ACE activity of oleanolic acid extracted from

<p>Thrombosis is another important mechanism of development of cardiovascular disease. The ethanolic extract obtained from

leaves was investigated for its anti-thrombotic effect in an animal model system in which tail thrombosis was induced by carrageenan. At the doses of 200 and 300 mg/kg, the extract resulted to be able to reduce the lengths of tail thrombosis in comparison to heparin, used as a positive control. The anti-thrombotic effect decreased after 48 and 72 h, nevertheless, the registered decrease was still significant after 72 h when the highest dose (300 mg/kg) was administered.

LI 132 (called Faros) is prepared from the leaves, flowers, and berries and is standardized to 2.2% flavonoids.</p>
<p>The first studies on WS 1442 go back to the 1990s. More recently, Holubarsch
<italic>et al.</italic>
in 2000 published the first paper on the SPICE project, which is the first, international, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, aimed to investigate the effect Crataegus Special Extract WS 1442 on mortality of patients suffering from congestive heart failure [
<xref rid="B69-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>
]. In 2008 [
<xref rid="B70-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>
] the same research group published the results obtained from this multicenter study, which involved 2681 adults, with NYHA class II or III CHF and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF< or =35%), receiving 900 mg/day WS 1442 or placebo for 24 months (WS 1442: 1338; placebo: 1343). The results showed that WS 1442 had no significant effect on the average time to first cardiac event and on cardiac mortality reduction. Nevertheless, WS 1442 reduced sudden cardiac death by 39.7% in the treated group in comparison with placebo group in those patients with less compromised left ventricular function.</p>
<p>In 2001, Zapfe published a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study on the efficacy and safety of Crataegus extract WS 1442 (standardized to 18.75% oligomeric procyanidines), performed on 40 female and male outpatients with congestive heart failure NYHA class II, treated for 12 weeks with either WS 1442 (3 × 1 capsule) or placebo. The registered laboratory parameters and adverse events showed that WS 1442 was safe and well tolerated. The outcomes were exercise tolerance and difference of the double product (heart rate × systolic blood pressure × 10
<sup>−2</sup>
). As regards the first outcome, the results showed that there was an increase of about 11% in the exercise tolerance (determined with bicycle exercise testing) in the WS 1442 group and a decrease of about 17% in the placebo group. Moreover, regarding the difference of the double product, a decrease of 27% in the WS 1442 group and 2.7% in the placebo group, were registered. In the whole, the data showed Crataegus extract WS 1442 is active in patients with congestive heart failure corresponding to NYHA class II [
<xref rid="B71-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>
].</p>
<p>In 2003, Degenring
<italic>et al.</italic>
showed that another registered Crataegus extract obtained from berries (Crataegisan
<sup>®</sup>
) resulted to be active and safe against patients with cardiac failure NYHA class II. In fact, the treatment with Crataegisan
<sup>®</sup>
improved the exercise tolerance, without adverse effects, suggesting that in NYHA II patients there is an improvement in heart failure conditions under long-term therapy with this standardized extract [
<xref rid="B72-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>
].</p>
<p>In the last decade, other similar clinical studies were performed in which the safety and moderate beneficial effects in the treatment of chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association classes I to III) were described [
<xref rid="B73-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>
,
<xref rid="B74-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>
]. These clinical studies prompted Cochrane to publish a systematic review to define benefits and harms of hawthorn leaf and flower extract for treating patients with chronic heart failure. As regards the selection criteria, the included studies were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. The results of selection showed that fourteen trials met the inclusion criteria, but due to the fact that they did not all measure the same outcomes and several studies did not explain what kind of treatments patients were receiving, the clinical trials used for meta-analysis were ten studies, including 855 patients with chronic heart failure. These trials showed improvements in heart failure symptoms and in the function of the heart. The reported adverse events (
<italic>i.e.</italic>
, nausea, dizziness, and cardiac and gastrointestinal complaints) were mild, sporadic and transitory. The conclusion of this meta-analysis confirm the positive effect of hawthorn extract used in addition to conventional treatments for chronic heart failure [
<xref rid="B75-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>
].</p>
<p>Moreover, a search on the ClinicalTrials.gov database [
<xref rid="B18-nutrients-07-05361" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
], with keywords “hawthorn” and “
<italic>Crataegus monogyna</italic>
” has shown that there are 23 clinical trials on this plant, of which 11 have been completed. Our search has also found that there are further four recruited clinical trials and five not yet recruited ones, while three clinical trials are of unknown status.

<title>9. Conclusions</title>
<p>In conclusion, hawthorn is both a medicinal plant, which is used in folk medicine, and a common edible plant, which is widely used for the preparation of different foodstuff. Thus, based on the common use as traditional medicine and food,
<italic>C. monogyna</italic>
can be considered safe. Moreover, clinical trials showed no significant adverse effects. The present review has shown that hawthorn possesses a range of pharmacological effects, due to the presence of various bioactive natural compounds, such as flavanonoids and triterpenic compounds. In particular, hawthorn can be used in the prevention and/or mitigation of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, it is able to reduce cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, thrombosis,
<italic>etc.</italic>
, and has beneficial effects on cardiac functions. Therefore, due to its multiple health-promoting effects, hawthorn can be recommended for future clinical trials aimed at examining its beneficial effects. In addition, we recommend that future research on
<italic>C. monogyna</italic>
should focus on:
