Echinodorus grandiflorus
Herbe aquatique ou semi-aquatique du Brésil utilisée en médecine traditionnelle brésilienne pour les affections rhumatismales, l'hypertension et les troubles rénaux.
Echinodorus grandiflorus, known as Chapéu de Couro, is a Brazilian aquatic herb traditionally used for hypertension, rheumatic conditions, and kidney disorders. Its primary active compounds include flavonoids such as quercetin, rutin, and luteolin, along with tannins and phenolic acids, which contribute to its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Evidence from limited clinical studies supports its use as an adjunctive antihypertensive and diuretic agent.
The diuretic effect of E. grandiflorus is attributed to flavonoids like quercetin and rutin, which may inhibit the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, similar to loop diuretics. Anti-inflammatory activity is mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Additionally, its antioxidant effects are due to phenolic compounds scavenging free radicals and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase.
