Jatropha multifida
Ornamental tropical shrub used in folk medicine for wound healing and dental pain across Africa and Asia.
Jatropha multifida is an ornamental tropical shrub traditionally used in folk medicine across Africa and Asia for wound healing and dental pain. Modern evidence supports its topical application as a hemostatic and wound-healing agent, attributed to active compounds including diterpenes, curcin, tannins, and flavonoids. Despite limited clinical data (Evidence Level C), its latex is employed for minor wounds, though internal use is contraindicated due to seed toxicity.
The wound-healing and hemostatic effects of Jatropha multifida latex are primarily mediated by diterpenes (e.g., multifidol) that promote platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction, while tannins provide astringent and antimicrobial actions. Flavonoids contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing edema and supporting tissue repair. Curcin, a type I ribosome-inactivating protein, exhibits cytotoxic effects that may limit microbial growth but also underlies the toxicity of seeds upon ingestion.
