Passiflora alata
Brazilian passion flower with winged stems and fragrant flowers, used in Brazilian phytomedicine for anxiety.
Passiflora alata, a Brazilian passion flower with winged stems and fragrant flowers, is traditionally used in Brazilian phytomedicine for anxiety and insomnia. Modern evidence supports its sedative, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic actions, attributed to flavonoids such as chrysin, vitexin, and orientin. It is commonly administered as a tea (5-10g leaves per cup) or capsule (200mg) for anxiety relief.
The anxiolytic and sedative effects of Passiflora alata are primarily mediated through GABAergic modulation, with chrysin acting as a partial agonist at the benzodiazepine site of GABA-A receptors. Flavonoids like vitexin and orientin also contribute by inhibiting monoamine oxidase (MAO) and modulating serotonergic pathways. Anti-inflammatory activity involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, while antispasmodic effects result from calcium channel blockade and direct smooth muscle relaxation. Alkaloids present may enhance central nervous system depression.
