Résumé
Haematoxylum campechianum, known as the logwood tree, is a tropical tree native to Mexico and Central America primarily used for the production of the histopathological stain hematoxylin [PMID:30001639, PMID:38869850].
Contexte
Haematoxylum campechianum (also called 'palo tinto', 'palo de Campeche', 'redwood', or 'bloodwood tree') is a tropical legume tree from the Fabaceae family native to the Yucatan Peninsula and Central America [PMID:30001639, PMID:34687835, PMID:21708660]. It is characterized by dark-red heartwood from which hematoxylin is extracted [PMID:30001639].
Usages traditionnels
Traditional medicine utilizes the plant for the treatment of depression [PMID:34687835], as an astringent to purify the blood, and to treat stomach problems such as diarrhea and dysentery [PMID:28837100].
Composés actifs
The heartwood contains hematoxylin, which oxidizes into the dye hematein [PMID:30001639]. Other isolated compounds include chalcones (sappanchalcone, 3-deoxysappanchalcone), homoisoflavonoids (hematoxylol A, 4-O-methylhematoxylol, 4-hydroxyhematoxylol), and hematoxin [PMID:34687835, PMID:28837100].
Mécanisme d'action
Extracts and specific compounds (sappanchalcone and 3-deoxysappanchalcone) have demonstrated spasmolytic activity by relaxing electrically induced contractions of the guinea pig ileum [PMID:28837100].
Preuves cliniques
Preuve DAnxiety/Depression
Methanolic and hydroalcoholic extracts from the heartwood and sappanchalcone showed anxiolytic effects in an in vivo mouse model (Elevated Plus Maze) [PMID:34687835]
Preuve DGastrointestinal Spasms
Methanolic extract and compounds sappanchalcone and 3-deoxysappanchalcone exhibited significant relaxing activity in an in vitro guinea pig ileum model [PMID:28837100]
Synthèse des preuves
The available evidence is primarily based on in vitro and in vivo animal models (Level D) and historical/review articles (Level C), focusing on its chemical properties as a dye and preliminary pharmacological activities.
