Duranta erecta
Arbuste tropical américain utilisé en médecine folklorique pour la fièvre et le paludisme ; baies et feuilles toxiques.
Duranta erecta is a tropical shrub used in folk medicine primarily for fever and malaria, but all parts of the plant are considered toxic. Its active compounds include flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, saponins, and the alkaloid durantine, which contribute to its antimalarial and antipyretic properties. Despite traditional use, evidence is limited (Level C) and safety concerns restrict its application.
The antimalarial activity is attributed to iridoid glycosides and flavonoids that may inhibit heme polymerization or disrupt parasite mitochondrial function. Antipyretic effects likely involve modulation of prostaglandin synthesis via cyclooxygenase inhibition, similar to salicylates. Durantine and saponins exhibit cytotoxic effects on Plasmodium species, but also contribute to general toxicity in humans through membrane disruption and neurotoxic actions.
