Lathyrus odoratus
Ornamental legume with fragrant flowers; seeds toxic but flower fragrance used in aromatherapy.
Lathyrus odoratus, an ornamental legume with fragrant flowers, is primarily used in aromatherapy for its calming scent, while its seeds contain toxic lathyrogens that can cause neurolathyrism. The flowers yield volatile compounds such as linalool and geraniol, along with saponins and flavonoids, which contribute to its mild anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite traditional external use, internal consumption is strictly contraindicated due to severe neurotoxicity.
The fragrance compounds in Lathyrus odoratus flowers, including linalool and geraniol, activate olfactory receptors that project to the limbic system and amygdala, modulating GABAergic neurotransmission and promoting relaxation. Lathyrogens in the seeds inhibit lysyl oxidase, an enzyme critical for collagen cross-linking, leading to defective connective tissue and neurotoxic paralysis. Saponins may exert mild anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways.
