Prunus virginiana
Buisson largement répandu en Amérique du Nord, utilisé par les peuples indigènes des plaines, plateaux et Woodland comme aliment médicinal, antigrippal et tonique.
Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) is a widespread North American shrub traditionally used by Indigenous peoples as a food medicine, antimicrobial, and tonic. Modern research supports its antioxidant, antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to compounds such as amygdalin, prunasin, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and rutin.
The antidiarrheal effect is partly due to astringent tannins and flavonoids that reduce intestinal motility and fluid secretion. Antimicrobial activity involves disruption of bacterial cell membranes by phenolic compounds like quercetin and rutin. Anti-inflammatory actions are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, while antioxidant effects stem from free radical scavenging by chlorogenic acid and flavonoids. Amygdalin and prunasin are cyanogenic glycosides that can release hydrogen cyanide upon hydrolysis, contributing to both potential toxicity and traditional use as a respiratory stimulant.
