Lantana camara
Tropical shrub widely used in folk medicine across Africa, Asia, and the Americas for fever and skin conditions; highly toxic berries.
Lantana camara is a tropical shrub widely used in folk medicine across Africa, Asia, and the Americas for fever and skin conditions, but its unripe berries are highly toxic and can be fatal. Key active compounds include lantadene A, lantadene B, oleanolic acid, and flavonoids, which contribute to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. Despite traditional use, evidence is limited (Level C) and safety concerns restrict use to external applications only.
Lantadene A and B are pentacyclic triterpenoids that inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) via NF-κB pathway modulation, while oleanolic acid and flavonoids (e.g., quercetin) exert antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals and upregulating Nrf2. Antimicrobial activity is attributed to disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of efflux pumps, particularly against Gram-positive pathogens. Antipyretic effects may involve central prostaglandin synthesis inhibition via COX-2 suppression.
