Mimusops elengi
A Thai traditional herb used for fever, oral health, and as a brain tonic in both Thai and Ayurvedic traditions.
Mimusops elengi, known as Phikun Thong in Thai traditional medicine, is a tree whose bark and flowers are used for fever, oral health, and cognitive support. Its primary active compounds include saponins, flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils, which contribute to its antipyretic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Evidence is limited to pilot studies and traditional use, placing it at evidence level C.
The antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects are attributed to flavonoids and saponins that inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Tannins provide astringent and antimicrobial actions, beneficial for oral health by reducing bacterial adhesion and inflammation. The cognitive effects may involve acetylcholinesterase inhibition and antioxidant activity, though specific receptor pathways are not well characterized.
