Krameria lappacea
Perennial shrub native to the Andes of Peru used medicinally for highly astringent properties in dental care, diarrhea, and wound healing.
Krameria lappacea (Rhatany) is a perennial shrub native to the Andes, valued for its highly astringent and antimicrobial properties. It is primarily used in dental care, for diarrhea, and wound healing. Key active compounds include ratanhiaphenol, ratanhin, proanthocyanidins, neo-lignan, and phenylpropanoids, which contribute to its tannin-rich chemistry.
The astringent action is mediated by high concentrations of proanthocyanidins and other polyphenols that precipitate proteins, forming a protective layer on mucous membranes and reducing secretion. Antimicrobial activity is attributed to ratanhiaphenol and phenylpropanoids against oral pathogens. The vasoconstrictive and hemostatic effects involve tannin-induced contraction of blood vessels and platelet aggregation, potentially via modulation of nitric oxide and prostacyclin pathways.
