Allamanda cathartica
Vigne ornementale tropicale d'Amérique avec de grandes fleurs en forme de trompette jaune, utilisée en médecine traditionnelle des Caraïbes et d'Amérique du Sud.
Allamanda cathartica is a tropical vine with large yellow trumpet flowers, traditionally used in Caribbean and South American folk medicine as a purgative and for malaria. Modern research has focused on its anticancer, antimalarial, and antimicrobial properties, attributed to compounds such as allamandin, plumericin, and other iridoids. However, the plant is toxic in large amounts and requires caution.
The primary active compounds, allamandin and plumericin, are iridoid lactones that exhibit cytotoxic activity by inhibiting topoisomerase I and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Plumericin also demonstrates antimalarial activity by interfering with the parasite's heme detoxification pathway. The purgative effect is due to irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to increased peristalsis. Flavonoids and tannins contribute to antimicrobial activity through membrane disruption and enzyme inhibition.
