Citrus aurantifolia
Citron tropical petit ; riche en vitamine C et en flavonoïdes, l'extrait de l'indur est utilisé en aromathérapie et en médecine populaire.
Citrus aurantifolia (lime) is a tropical citrus fruit rich in vitamin C and flavonoids such as hesperidin and naringenin. It is traditionally used for scurvy, immune support, and digestive aid, with modern research indicating antioxidant, antimicrobial, and digestive stimulant properties. Key active compounds include vitamin C, limonene, bergapten, and various flavonoids.
Vitamin C acts as a cofactor for collagen synthesis and a potent antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and regenerating other antioxidants. Flavonoids like hesperidin and naringenin inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes (COX-2, LOX) and modulate the NF-κB pathway, reducing oxidative stress. Limonene induces phase I and II detoxification enzymes (CYP450, GST) and exhibits antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. Bergapten, a furanocoumarin, inhibits CYP3A4 and can cause photosensitivity by intercalating with DNA under UV light.
