Ageratum houstonianum
Plante ornementale mexicaine de la famille des Asteracées utilisée en médecine traditionnelle pour les fièvres et la guérison des plaies.
Ageratum houstonianum, a Mexican ornamental Asteraceae, is traditionally used in folk medicine for fever and wound healing. Its primary active compounds include precocenes, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Limited evidence (C) supports antipyretic and wound-healing effects, but safety concerns arise from precocene-induced juvenile hormone disruption, rendering it unsafe during pregnancy and nursing.
Precocenes in Ageratum houstonianum disrupt juvenile hormone synthesis in insects and may similarly interfere with human endocrine pathways, potentially contributing to antipyretic effects through modulation of prostaglandin synthesis. Flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes, while alkaloids may offer antimicrobial properties. Wound healing is likely mediated by flavonoid-induced collagen deposition and angiogenesis.
