Heliamphora nutans
Venezuelan tepui endemic carnivorous plant; limited folk use by indigenous communities for fever.
Heliamphora nutans is a carnivorous plant endemic to the Venezuelan tepuis, traditionally used by indigenous peoples for fever. Its active compounds include tannins and flavonoids, which may contribute to antipyretic and antimicrobial effects. However, clinical evidence is limited to anecdotal and preliminary studies, and its safety profile is poorly characterized.
The antipyretic effect is hypothesized to involve inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis via COX-2 downregulation, similar to other tannin-rich plants. Flavonoids may exert anti-inflammatory activity through modulation of NF-κB and scavenging of reactive oxygen species. Antimicrobial action is attributed to tannins binding to bacterial cell wall proteins and disrupting membrane integrity. No specific receptor or enzyme targets have been confirmed in human studies.
