Inula helenium
Une plante vivace européenne et asiatique haute ; l'alantolactone et l'isoalantolactone sont les premières lactones sesquiterpéniques montrées pour avoir une activité antibiotique ; plante respiratoire classique.
Elecampane root (Inula helenium) is a traditional European respiratory herb whose key active compounds include the sesquiterpene lactones alantolactone and isoalantolactone, as well as the prebiotic fiber inulin. It is primarily used as an expectorant for chronic bronchitis and as an antiparasitic for intestinal worms, with emerging evidence supporting its prebiotic effects. The herb's antimicrobial and expectorant actions are attributed to its sesquiterpene lactones, which also require caution due to potential allergenic and irritant properties.
Alantolactone and isoalantolactone stimulate bronchial secretions via a mild irritant effect on gastric mucosa, reflexively increasing respiratory tract fluid output (expectorant action). These sesquiterpene lactones also exhibit direct antimicrobial activity against bacteria and parasites by disrupting microbial cell membranes and inhibiting key enzymes. Inulin, a fructan polysaccharide, acts as a prebiotic by selectively promoting beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, thereby supporting immune function. Additionally, alantolactone has been shown to modulate NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, contributing to anti-inflammatory effects in respiratory tissues.
