Jeffersonia diphylla
Eastern North American woodland herb related to Berberis; used by Native Americans for rheumatism and syphilis.
Jeffersonia diphylla, a member of the Berberidaceae family, is a North American woodland herb traditionally used by Native Americans for rheumatism and syphilis. Modern research indicates potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antirheumatic activities, attributed primarily to the isoquinoline alkaloid berberine and other constituents such as tannins and flavonoids. Evidence remains limited (Level C), with most data derived from in vitro and preliminary animal studies.
Berberine, the primary active alkaloid, exerts anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, and antimicrobial activity via disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of DNA gyrase. Other alkaloids and flavonoids may contribute to antirheumatic effects by modulating immune responses and reducing oxidative stress. Tannins provide astringent properties that support wound healing. The herb's traditional use for syphilis may relate to berberine's broad antimicrobial spectrum.
