Coriaria myrtifolia
Arbuste méditerranéen utilisé dans la médecine populaire marocaine et espagnole pour la peau et la guérison des plaies.
Coriaria myrtifolia is a Mediterranean shrub traditionally used in Spanish and Moroccan folk medicine for topical wound healing and as an astringent. Its primary active compounds include the neurotoxic sesquiterpenes coriamyrtin and tutin, along with tannins and flavonoids. Due to severe toxicity upon ingestion, its use is strictly limited to external applications.
Topical application of Coriaria extracts promotes wound healing primarily through tannin-mediated astringency, which precipitates proteins and forms a protective layer over damaged tissue, reducing exudate and microbial colonization. Flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways. However, the sesquiterpenes coriamyrtin and tutin are potent GABA-A receptor antagonists, leading to excitotoxicity and seizures if absorbed systemically; this mechanism underlies the plant's extreme neurotoxicity and contraindication for internal use.
