Jatropha gossypiifolia
Caribbean and South American shrub used in folk medicine for hypertension, diabetes, and wound healing.
Jatropha gossypiifolia is a Caribbean and South American shrub traditionally used for hypertension, diabetes, and wound healing. Its primary active compounds include flavonoids, alkaloids, jatrophine, tannins, and saponins. Evidence is limited (Level C) for modern uses such as antihypertensive and antidiabetic effects, with traditional use also for snakebite.
The antihypertensive effect is attributed to flavonoids and alkaloids that may inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and promote vasodilation via nitric oxide release. Antidiabetic actions involve saponins and tannins that enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose absorption. Jatrophine and other alkaloids exhibit antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting wound healing through modulation of cytokines and fibroblast activity.
