Ruta chalepensis
Plante sacrée des Églises orthodoxes d'Éthiopie et d'Érythrée utilisée à des fins médicinales comme antispasmodique et herb abortifaciente.
Eritrean Rue (Ruta chalepensis) is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Christian practices, primarily as an antispasmodic and emmenagogue. Its key active compounds include the furanocoumarin chalepensin, the flavonoid rutin, and various alkaloids such as graveoline. Despite limited clinical evidence (Level C), it is known for potent uterine stimulant and antimicrobial activities, but its use is restricted due to significant toxicity risks.
Chalepensin and other furanocoumarins act as potent inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP3A4, and may also interact with GABA-A receptors to produce antispasmodic effects. The alkaloids and flavonoids contribute to antimicrobial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting DNA gyrase. The abortifacient action is primarily due to direct stimulation of uterine smooth muscle via activation of prostaglandin pathways and possibly oxytocin receptors, leading to strong contractions.
