Jateorhiza calumba
Racine d'Afrique de l'Est utilisée comme tonique amer digestif et remède anti-fièvre dans toute la région.
Jateorhiza calumba (Calumba) is a climbing plant native to East Africa whose root is traditionally used as a bitter tonic to stimulate digestion and as an anti-fever remedy. Its primary active compounds include the isoquinoline alkaloids columbamine, jateorhizine, and palmatine, along with the diterpenoids columbin and chasmanthin. Modern research suggests mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities, though clinical evidence remains limited.
The bitter principles in Calumba root, particularly columbin and chasmanthin, stimulate taste receptors (T2R) on the tongue and in the gut, leading to increased gastric acid secretion and digestive enzyme release via vagal reflexes. The isoquinoline alkaloids (columbamine, jateorhizine, palmatine) exhibit antimicrobial activity by intercalating with bacterial DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase enzymes. Additionally, these alkaloids may inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase pathways, contributing to anti-inflammatory effects. The febrifuge action is thought to involve modulation of prostaglandin synthesis and possible direct antipyretic effects on the hypothalamus.
