Impatiens balsamina
An Asian annual used in folk medicine for anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and rheumatic conditions.
Impatiens balsamina is an annual Asian herb traditionally used for rheumatism, fungal infections, and wound healing. Modern research indicates anti-inflammatory and antifungal activities, attributed to naphthoquinones (e.g., lawsone) and flavonoids (e.g., kaempferol). Evidence is limited to pilot and in vitro studies, supporting its use in topical and internal preparations.
The naphthoquinone lawsone inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, contributing to anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids like kaempferol modulate the NF-κB pathway, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Antifungal activity arises from naphthoquinones disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity and inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Additionally, these compounds may inhibit 5-lipoxygenase, further attenuating inflammatory cascades.
