Mammea americana
A Caribbean and South American fruit tree with medicinal bark used for skin parasites and antifungal conditions.
Mammea americana, a tropical fruit tree native to the Caribbean and South America, is traditionally used for treating skin parasites and fungal infections. Its bark contains bioactive coumarins such as mammein and mammeisin, along with flavonoids, which contribute to its antiparasitic and antifungal properties. Modern research supports these traditional uses, though clinical evidence remains limited to preliminary studies.
The antiparasitic activity of Mammea americana is attributed to coumarins like mammein, which may disrupt parasite cell membrane integrity and interfere with energy metabolism. Antifungal effects are likely due to inhibition of fungal cell wall synthesis or disruption of membrane function via coumarin and flavonoid compounds. Additionally, the coumarin content poses a risk of interaction with anticoagulant medications by potentiating their effects through inhibition of vitamin K epoxide reductase.
