Mespilus germanica
Ancient European Rosaceae fruit tree used in folk medicine for digestive conditions and as astringent.
Mespilus germanica, commonly known as medlar, is a Rosaceae fruit tree historically used in European folk medicine for digestive ailments. Its primary modern applications include astringent therapy for diarrhea, antioxidant support, and prebiotic activity, attributed to compounds such as tannins, pectin, malic acid, and ursolic acid.
The astringent effect is mediated by tannins that precipitate proteins in the intestinal mucosa, reducing permeability and fluid secretion. Pectin acts as a soluble fiber, promoting short-chain fatty acid production via gut microbiota, thereby exerting prebiotic effects. Ursolic acid demonstrates antioxidant activity through Nrf2 pathway activation and inhibition of NF-κB, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Malic acid may contribute to mild laxative or acidifying effects depending on dose.
