Dioscorea cayenensis
Ambiant alimentaire sud-africain, avec racines comestibles utilisées en médecine traditionnelle.
Dioscorea cayenensis, the West African yellow yam, is a staple food with traditional medicinal use for rheumatism, skin diseases, and ulcers. Modern research supports its anti-inflammatory and metabolic-supporting properties, attributed to diosgenin, steroidal saponins, and polyphenols. It is used topically for wound healing and internally for metabolic conditions, though raw consumption is contraindicated due to toxicity.
Diosgenin, a steroidal sapogenin, acts as a precursor for hormone synthesis and modulates inflammatory pathways by inhibiting NF-κB and COX-2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene production. Steroidal saponins enhance glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity via AMPK activation, while polyphenols provide antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals. Alkaloids contribute to antispasmodic activity through calcium channel blockade in smooth muscle.
