Crescentia cujete
Arbre tropical américain produisant de gros fruits en forme de gourd utilisés médicalement dans toute l’Amérique latine pour les affections respiratoires, la cicatrisation des plaies, et comme sirop traditionnel contre la toux.
Crescentia cujete, a tropical tree native to the Americas, produces large gourd-like fruits used in Latin American traditional medicine. It is primarily employed as an expectorant for respiratory conditions such as cough and bronchitis, and for wound healing. Key active compounds include crescentin, phenolics, saponins, flavonoids, and sterols, which contribute to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antihypertensive properties.
The expectorant action is attributed to saponins that stimulate bronchial mucus secretion and ciliary activity. Antimicrobial effects are mediated by phenolic compounds and flavonoids that disrupt microbial cell membranes and inhibit enzyme activity. Wound healing is promoted through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and collagen synthesis pathways. Antihypertensive effects may involve vasodilation via nitric oxide release or mild diuretic action, possibly due to sterols and flavonoids.
