Cassytha filiformis
Liane parasite répandue dans les régions tropicales utilisée médicinalement en Australie, dans les Caraïbes et en Afrique pour les affections cutanées, la pression artérielle et la santé rénale.
Cassytha filiformis is a parasitic vine used traditionally in tropical regions for hypertension, kidney conditions, and skin diseases. Modern research indicates antihypertensive, diuretic, antimicrobial, and analgesic activities, attributed to aporphine alkaloids (cassythine, actinodaphnine) and flavonoids. Evidence is limited (Level C) with most data from preclinical and pilot studies.
The antihypertensive effect is mediated by alpha-adrenergic receptor blockade and calcium channel modulation by aporphine alkaloids, leading to vasodilation. Diuretic action involves inhibition of renal tubular sodium reabsorption, possibly via prostaglandin pathways. Antimicrobial activity results from flavonoid-induced disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. Analgesic effects may involve opioid receptor pathways and anti-inflammatory cytokine modulation.
