Mikania glomerata
Brazilian medicinal vine used for respiratory conditions, snake bites, and as antimicrobial.
Mikania glomerata is a Brazilian medicinal vine traditionally employed for respiratory conditions, snake bites, and as an antimicrobial. Modern research highlights its expectorant, bronchodilatory, and anticoagulant properties, primarily attributed to coumarin, mikanolide, sesquiterpenes, and flavonoids. Evidence remains limited (C), but preliminary studies support its traditional applications.
Coumarin acts as a vitamin K antagonist, inhibiting vitamin K epoxide reductase and thereby reducing synthesis of clotting factors, conferring anticoagulant effects. Mikanolide and other sesquiterpene lactones may inhibit NF-κB signaling and reduce airway inflammation, while flavonoids such as quercetin relax bronchial smooth muscle via phosphodiesterase inhibition and calcium channel modulation. Expectorant activity likely stems from increased bronchial secretion and enhanced mucociliary clearance, though specific receptor pathways require further elucidation.
