Bursera simaruba
Arbre d'Amérique centrale et des Caraïbes dont la résine est sacrée dans les cultures mésoaméricaines ; usages médicinaux divers.
Bursera simaruba, a tree native to Central America and the Caribbean, produces a resinous exudate traditionally used in Mesoamerican medicine for wound healing, pain relief, and treating infections. Modern research indicates anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and analgesic activities, attributed primarily to volatile compounds such as α-pinene, limonene, and α-copaene, along with triterpenoids and copalic acid. Despite limited clinical evidence (Grade C), its topical and internal applications are supported by a long history of traditional use.
The anti-inflammatory effects of Bursera simaruba are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antimicrobial activity is linked to disruption of bacterial cell membranes by monoterpenes like α-pinene and limonene, while analgesic properties may involve activation of peripheral opioid receptors and modulation of TRPV1 channels. Triterpenoids such as copalic acid also exhibit cytotoxic effects against certain cancer cell lines via induction of apoptosis.
