Phytolacca dodecandra
Plante éthiopienne étudiée pour contrôler les limaces porteuses de schistosoménose.
Phytolacca dodecandra, known as Endod, is an Ethiopian plant historically used as a laundry soap and for schistosomiasis prevention. Its primary modern applications include molluscicide for snail control, anthelmintic, and natural detergent. Key active compounds include lemmatoxin, oleanoglycotoxin A, and saponins, which contribute to its toxic and detergent properties.
The saponins in Phytolacca dodecandra, particularly lemmatoxin and oleanoglycotoxin A, disrupt cell membranes by forming complexes with cholesterol, leading to cell lysis. This molluscicidal action targets the nervous system of snails, causing paralysis and death. In mammals, these compounds can cause hemolysis and severe gastrointestinal irritation due to their detergent-like effects on mucosal membranes. The anthelmintic activity is attributed to similar membrane disruption in parasitic worms.
