Piper betle
Vigne grimpante dont les feuilles sont largement mâchées dans le Sud et le Sud-Est asiatique avec le noix de betel, également utilisée médicinalement pour ses propriétés antimicrobiennes.
Piper betle (betel leaf) is a climbing vine whose leaves are traditionally chewed with areca nut across South and Southeast Asia. It exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties, attributed to compounds such as chavicol, eugenol, hydroxychavicol, beta-sitosterol, and tannins. Despite its traditional use for oral hygiene, chronic use with areca nut is associated with oral cancer risk.
The antimicrobial activity of betel leaf is primarily due to hydroxychavicol and eugenol, which disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit biofilm formation. Anti-inflammatory effects involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and cytokine production. Antioxidant action is mediated by phenolic compounds that scavenge free radicals and upregulate endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Wound healing is promoted through enhanced collagen synthesis and angiogenesis.
