Carthamus tinctorius
Fleurs orange vif utilisées en MTC pour faire circuler le sang et soulager la douleur ; largement cultivé pour l'huile de carthame.
Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) is a medicinal herb with brilliant orange flowers, traditionally used in TCM to invigorate blood circulation and alleviate pain. Modern research indicates antiplatelet, vasodilatory, and anti-inflammatory activities, attributed to compounds such as carthamin, hydroxysafflor yellow A, and linoleic acid. It is employed for cardiovascular support, menstrual disorders, and skin pigmentation, though clinical evidence remains limited.
Carthamus tinctorius exerts antiplatelet effects primarily through inhibition of platelet aggregation via antagonism of the 5-HT2A receptor by serotonin and related compounds, as well as through suppression of thromboxane A2 synthesis. Hydroxysafflor yellow A demonstrates vasodilatory activity by enhancing nitric oxide production and activating the PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway. The oil's linoleic acid content contributes to anti-inflammatory actions by modulating prostaglandin synthesis and reducing leukotriene formation. Additionally, carthamin and other flavonoids inhibit COX-2 and LOX enzymes, providing analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits.
