Calliandra calothyrsus
Arbre légumineux d'Amérique centrale introduit en Afrique et en Asie ; l'écorce est utilisée pour les plaies et les affections respiratoires.
Calliandra calothyrsus is a Central American legume tree whose bark is used in traditional medicine for wound healing, respiratory conditions, and skin ailments. Its primary active compounds include tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids, which contribute to astringent, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antimicrobial actions. Evidence is limited to preliminary studies and traditional use (Level C).
The tannins in Calliandra calothyrsus bark exert astringent effects by precipitating proteins and forming a protective layer on wounds and mucous membranes, reducing exudation and promoting healing. Flavonoids inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby providing anti-inflammatory activity. Saponins stimulate respiratory tract secretions via reflex vagal activation, acting as expectorants, while alkaloids may exhibit antimicrobial effects by disrupting bacterial cell membranes or inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis.
