Cercidiphyllum japonicum
Un arbre ornemental japonais dont l'écorce est utilisée en médecine populaire pour les affections hépatiques et cutanées.
Cercidiphyllum japonicum, a Japanese ornamental tree, has bark traditionally used in folk medicine for liver and skin conditions. Its primary active compounds include catechin, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its purported hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. However, modern research is limited, and its use is primarily based on traditional knowledge.
The bark's flavonoids and catechins are believed to exert antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Tannins may provide astringent and anti-inflammatory actions through inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Additionally, hepatoprotective effects are hypothesized via modulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes and enhancement of bile flow, though these mechanisms are not well-studied in humans.
