Momordica balsamina
African and Asian cucurbit used for wound healing, skin infections, and fever in tropical traditional medicine.
Momordica balsamina, a cucurbit from Africa and Asia, is traditionally used for wound healing, skin infections, and fever. Its active compounds include momordicin, cucurbitacins, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which contribute to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Evidence is limited to preclinical and traditional use, with some clinical data supporting topical application.
The antimicrobial activity is attributed to cucurbitacins and flavonoids disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting biofilm formation. Anti-inflammatory effects involve modulation of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Wound healing is promoted through enhanced fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, possibly via TGF-β signaling. Alkaloids may contribute to analgesic and antipyretic effects by interacting with opioid receptors and prostaglandin synthesis.
