Kopsia fruticosa
Ornamental shrub of Southeast Asia with pink flowers, used in traditional Malay and Indonesian medicine.
Kopsia fruticosa is an ornamental shrub from Southeast Asia, traditionally used in Malay and Indonesian medicine for pain, fever, and skin infections. Its primary active compounds include the indole alkaloids kopsinine and kopsinilam, along with flavonoids, which contribute to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Due to the presence of toxic alkaloids, clinical use is limited and requires caution.
The analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions of Kopsia fruticosa are attributed to its alkaloid content, particularly kopsinine, which may modulate voltage-gated sodium channels and inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Flavonoids contribute additional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation. Antimicrobial activity is likely due to alkaloid-induced disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis.
