Bowenia serrulata
Cycad australien utilisé par les peuples aborigènes comme source de nourriture après un traitement minutieux pour éliminer les toxines.
Bowenia serrulata is an Australian cycad traditionally used by Aboriginal peoples as a starch source after careful processing to remove potent neurotoxins. Its primary active compounds include cycasin and macrozamin, which are hepatotoxic and neurotoxic if consumed raw. Modern use is limited to processed starch as a food ingredient, with no established therapeutic applications.
Cycasin and macrozamin are glycosides that are metabolized to methylazoxymethanol (MAM), a potent alkylating agent that damages DNA and inhibits protein synthesis, leading to neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. MAM also induces oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in neurons and liver cells. The detoxification process (e.g., prolonged leaching, fermentation) reduces these compounds to safe levels, leaving primarily starch for caloric use.
