Ixora coccinea
South Asian ornamental Rubiaceae; leaves and flowers used in folk medicine for skin, wound healing, and fever.
Ixora coccinea, a South Asian ornamental shrub of the Rubiaceae family, is traditionally used for wound healing, skin conditions, and fever. Modern research supports its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and astringent properties, attributed to flavonoids, tannins, and compounds like ixorin and luteolin. It is used as a tea or topical paste, but caution is advised due to potential uterine stimulation and tannin-related side effects.
Anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antimicrobial activity is linked to tannins and flavonoids disrupting bacterial cell walls and inhibiting efflux pumps. Astringent action results from tannin-induced protein precipitation, forming a protective layer on mucous membranes and wounds. Luteolin may modulate NF-κB signaling, further reducing inflammation.
