Maclura pomifera
A North American tree with antifungal heartwood and folk medicinal uses; fruit reputed as insect repellent.
Maclura pomifera, a North American tree, is traditionally used as an insect repellent and anti-inflammatory tonic, while modern research focuses on its antifungal and isoflavone activities. Key active compounds include maclurin, osajin, pomiferin, and flavonoids, though clinical evidence remains limited (Level C).
Osajin and pomiferin, prenylated isoflavones, inhibit fungal cell wall synthesis and disrupt membrane integrity, contributing to antifungal effects. These compounds also modulate inflammatory pathways by suppressing COX-2 and iNOS expression via NF-κB inhibition. Maclurin and other flavonoids exhibit antioxidant activity through free radical scavenging and metal chelation.
