Annona squamosa
Arbre fruitier tropical dont les feuilles et les graines sont utilisés en médecine populaire pour des propriétés antiparasitaires et antidiabétiques.
Annona squamosa (sugar apple) is a tropical tree whose leaves and seeds are used in traditional medicine for antiparasitic and antidiabetic purposes. Its primary active compounds include annonaceous acetogenins (e.g., squamocin, bullatacin) and flavonoids, which exhibit cytotoxic, insecticidal, and hypoglycemic activities. However, due to potential neurotoxicity from seed-derived acetogenins, clinical use is limited and requires caution.
The antidiabetic effect is attributed to acetogenins and flavonoids that inhibit α-glucosidase and α-amylase, reducing postprandial hyperglycemia, and may enhance insulin sensitivity via PPARγ activation. Antiparasitic activity involves acetogenins disrupting mitochondrial complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) in parasites, leading to ATP depletion and cell death. Additionally, these compounds can induce apoptosis in cancer cells through mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The neurotoxic potential arises from acetogenins' ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and inhibit mitochondrial respiration in neurons, mimicking the pathology of atypical parkinsonism.
