Plectranthus amboinicus
Plante aromatique succulente vivace d'origine africaine ; largement cultivée dans les régions tropicales comme plante aromatique et médecine traditionnelle.
Cuban Oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus) is a succulent aromatic perennial traditionally used in tropical regions for respiratory conditions such as coughs and bronchitis, as well as digestive complaints. Its primary active compounds include carvacrol, thymol, eugenol, and beta-caryophyllene, which contribute to its antimicrobial, expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Modern evidence supports its use as an expectorant and antimicrobial agent.
Carvacrol and thymol act as agonists of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, particularly TRPV3 and TRPA1, which may mediate expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects. Eugenol inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Beta-caryophyllene selectively activates cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), contributing to peripheral anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions. Flavonoids provide additional antioxidant activity via free radical scavenging and modulation of NF-κB signaling.
