Croton lechleri
Arbre amazonien produisant un latex rouge profond utilisé par les communautés indigènes d'Amérique du Sud pour la cicatrisation des plaies et les troubles gastro-intestinaux.
Dragon's Blood (Croton lechleri) is an Amazonian tree yielding a red latex traditionally used for wound healing and gastrointestinal disorders. Modern research supports its antidiarrheal and antiviral activities, attributed to compounds such as crofelemer, taspine, and proanthocyanidins. Evidence level C indicates limited clinical data, but crofelemer is FDA-approved for HIV-associated diarrhea.
Crofelemer, a proanthocyanidin oligomer, inhibits both CFTR and calcium-activated chloride channels in intestinal epithelial cells, reducing fluid secretion and exerting antidiarrheal effects. Taspine promotes wound healing by stimulating fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, while proanthocyanidins and catechins provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. Alkaloids in the latex may contribute to antiviral activity by disrupting viral envelope integrity.
