Ferula foetida
Espèce afghane d'asafoetida utilisée en médecine populaire comme plante antispasmodique, anthelminthique et expectorante.
Ferula foetida, commonly known as Afghan asafoetida, is a medicinal herb traditionally used as an antispasmodic, expectorant, and anthelmintic. Its primary active compounds include ferulic acid, asaresinotannol, foetidin, and volatile sulfur compounds, which contribute to its pharmacological effects. Evidence for its uses is limited (Level C), with most data derived from traditional practice and preliminary studies.
The antispasmodic effect is attributed to volatile sulfur compounds that inhibit smooth muscle contraction via modulation of calcium channels and possibly through GABAergic pathways. Ferulic acid exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting NF-κB activation, which may support its expectorant and antimicrobial roles. The anthelmintic activity is thought to involve disruption of parasite energy metabolism and cuticle integrity, though specific mechanisms remain poorly characterized.
