Holarrhena antidysenterica
Ayurvedic bark for amoebic dysentery and chronic diarrhea.
Kutaja (Holarrhena antidysenterica) is an Ayurvedic herb primarily used for amoebic dysentery and chronic diarrhea due to its anti-amoebic and antidiarrheal properties. Its key active compounds include steroidal alkaloids such as conessine, kurchicine, and holarrhimine, which contribute to its antimicrobial and antispasmodic effects. It is also traditionally employed for intestinal parasites and irritable bowel syndrome.
The anti-amoebic activity is mainly attributed to conessine, which disrupts the membrane integrity of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites and inhibits nucleic acid synthesis. Additionally, the alkaloids exhibit anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal smooth muscle, reducing hypermotility and diarrhea. The herb also demonstrates broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against enteric pathogens, possibly through inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis and protein synthesis pathways.
