Ajuga iva
Espèce d'Ajuga largement utilisée dans la médecine traditionnelle nord-africaine et moyen-orientale, notamment au Maroc et en Tunisie.
Ajuga iva (Bugleweed) is a medicinal herb traditionally used in North Africa and the Middle East for diabetes, digestive disorders, and inflammation. Its primary active compounds include neo-clerodane diterpenes (e.g., ajugarin), phytoecdysteroids, and flavonoids, which contribute to its antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Evidence is limited to preclinical and pilot studies, supporting its use as an adjunctive therapy.
Neo-clerodane diterpenes such as ajugarin inhibit α-glucosidase and α-amylase, reducing postprandial hyperglycemia. They also modulate NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Phytoecdysteroids enhance insulin sensitivity via PI3K/Akt signaling, while flavonoids provide antioxidant activity through free radical scavenging and upregulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Antimicrobial effects are attributed to disruption of bacterial cell membranes by diterpenes.
