Leptospermum scoparium
Shrub native to New Zealand used by Maori for wound healing and as the source of manuka honey, with potent antimicrobial methylglyoxal compounds.
Leptospermum scoparium, commonly known as Manuka, is a New Zealand shrub traditionally used by Maori for wound healing and antimicrobial applications. Its modern prominence stems from the potent antibacterial activity of methylglyoxal (MGO) found in its honey, which is used topically for wound care, skin infections, and anti-biofilm effects. The plant also contains leptospermone, flavonoids, and sesquiterpenes that contribute to its therapeutic profile.
Methylglyoxal (MGO) exerts bactericidal effects by covalently modifying bacterial proteins and DNA, disrupting cell wall synthesis and metabolic pathways. Leptospermone and other triketones inhibit bacterial fatty acid synthesis, while flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions via modulation of NF-κB and COX pathways. The honey's low pH and hydrogen peroxide content further enhance antimicrobial activity, and its osmotic properties promote wound debridement and healing.
