Amaryllis belladonna
Bulbe sud-africain utilisable en médecine traditionnelle.
Amaryllis belladonna, a South African bulbous plant with showy pink flowers, is used in Cape traditional medicine primarily for pain and swelling. Its key active compounds include the alkaloid lycorine and belladine, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antifungal properties. However, the plant is toxic, especially the bulb, and its use is limited by safety concerns.
The anti-inflammatory effects of Amaryllis belladonna are attributed to alkaloids like lycorine, which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Analgesic activity may involve modulation of opioid receptors and central nervous system pathways, while antifungal effects are linked to disruption of fungal cell membrane integrity by alkaloids and flavonoids. The presence of toxic alkaloids also contributes to potential neurotoxic and gastrointestinal side effects.
