Crocus cartwrightianus
Ancien ancêtre sauvage de la crocus sauvage ; stigmes utilisés similairement au saffron cultivé.
Crocus cartwrightianus, the wild ancestor of cultivated saffron, is used in Greek folk medicine primarily for its antidepressant, anxiolytic, and vision-supporting properties. Its stigmas contain bioactive compounds such as crocin, crocetin, safranal, and flavonoids, which contribute to its therapeutic effects. Evidence is limited (Level C), with most data derived from pilot studies and traditional use.
Crocin and crocetin inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO-A and MAO-B), increasing synaptic levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, which underlies antidepressant and anxiolytic actions. Safranal modulates GABA-A receptors, contributing to anxiolytic effects, while flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting NF-κB pathways. These combined mechanisms support neuroprotection and mood regulation.
