Cinchona calisaya
Espèce de Cinchona riche en quinine ; historiquement la source commerciale la plus importante de l'écorce de quinine.
Cinchona calisaya, a Bolivian species of Cinchona, is historically the most important commercial source of quinine bark. Its primary modern use is as a source of the antimalarial alkaloid quinine, while it also serves as a bitter digestive tonic. Key active compounds include quinine, quinidine, cinchonidine, cinchonine, and tannins.
Quinine acts by interfering with the parasite's ability to break down hemoglobin, leading to accumulation of toxic heme. Quinidine, a stereoisomer, blocks cardiac sodium channels and potassium channels, contributing to its antiarrhythmic effects. The bitter compounds stimulate digestive secretions via activation of TAS2R bitter taste receptors in the oral cavity and gut. Tannins provide astringent properties that may contribute to antidiarrheal effects.
