Jateorhiza palmata
Racine de plante d'Afrique de l'Est et de Madagascar utilisée comme tonique digestif amer en pharmacie européenne depuis des siècles.
Calumba root (Jateorhiza palmata) is a bitter tonic from East Africa and Madagascar, traditionally used in European phytotherapy for digestive atonia and dyspepsia. Its primary active compounds include the isoquinoline alkaloids jateorhizine, columbamine, and palmatine, along with the diterpenoid columbin. Modern research suggests mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, but clinical evidence remains limited.
Bitter compounds in Calumba root stimulate type 2 taste receptors (T2R) on the tongue, triggering a vagal reflex that increases gastric acid secretion and gut motility. Columbin and related furanoditerpenes inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, contributing to anti-inflammatory effects. Alkaloids such as palmatine exhibit antimicrobial activity by intercalating bacterial DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase. Additionally, bitter principles may enhance appetite by activating ghrelin pathways and modulating gut hormone release.
