Euphorbia tirucalli
Euphorbie succulente d'Afrique et de l'Inde utilisée en médecine populaire pour les cancers, les affections cutanées et le soulagement de douleurs malgré sa haute toxicité.
Euphorbia tirucalli, a succulent shrub native to Africa and India, is used in traditional medicine for cancer, warts, and pain despite its high toxicity. Its active compounds include phorbol esters and ingenane diterpenes, which exhibit antiproliferative and antiviral activities. However, the plant's extreme toxicity limits its use to external applications under strict medical supervision.
The primary active compounds, phorbol esters such as 12-deoxyphorbol-13-phenylacetate, activate protein kinase C (PKC), leading to tumor promotion and inflammation. Ingenane diterpenes inhibit topoisomerase II and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, triterpenoids and sterols contribute to anti-inflammatory and antiparasitic effects. The plant's latex causes severe skin irritation and burns due to its diterpene content.
