Ailanthus altissima
Arbre asiatique invasif; l'écorce est utilisée dans la médecine traditionnelle chinoise contre la diarrhée, la dysenterie et les ténias.
Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven) is an invasive Asian tree whose bark is used in traditional Chinese medicine for dysentery, tapeworm, and malaria. Its primary active compounds include ailanthone and other quassinoids, which exhibit antimalarial, anthelmintic, and astringent properties. Modern research is limited but suggests potential for parasitic infections and malaria, though clinical evidence remains preliminary.
Ailanthone and related quassinoids inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the eukaryotic ribosome, disrupting translation in parasites and rapidly dividing cells. The bark's tannins provide astringent effects by precipitating proteins on mucosal surfaces, reducing diarrhea. Alkaloids may interfere with cardiac ion channels, explaining the risk of arrhythmia, while flavonoids contribute to anti-inflammatory activity.
