Pachycereus pringlei
Worlds largest cactus from Baja California, used by Cochimi and Seri peoples of Baja for food and medicine.
Pachycereus pringlei, the world's largest cactus, is a traditional food and medicine of the Cochimi and Seri peoples of Baja California. It is used for digestive support, as a nutritive food, and for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Key active compounds include hordenine, carnegine, pilocerein, and flavonoids.
The anti-inflammatory effects are attributed to flavonoids and alkaloids that inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Hordenine, a phenethylamine alkaloid, may act as a mild monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) and stimulate gastric acid secretion, contributing to digestive support. Antimicrobial activity is likely due to disruption of microbial cell membranes by alkaloids and phenolic compounds.
