Bidens pilosa
Pantropical herb widely used across Africa, Asia, and Americas for digestive conditions, malaria, diabetes, and wound healing.
Picao Preto (Bidens pilosa) is a pantropical herb traditionally used across Africa, Asia, and the Americas for malaria, digestive disorders, diabetes, and wound healing. Its primary active compounds include polyacetylenes, quercetin, luteolin, and caffeic acid, which contribute to its antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and wound-healing properties. Evidence level C indicates limited clinical studies support these uses, with most data derived from in vitro and animal models.
The antimalarial activity of Bidens pilosa is attributed to polyacetylenes (e.g., phenylheptatriyne) that inhibit Plasmodium falciparum growth by disrupting mitochondrial function and heme detoxification. Anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through quercetin and luteolin, which inhibit NF-κB activation and reduce COX-2 and iNOS expression. Antidiabetic properties involve caffeic acid and flavonoids enhancing insulin sensitivity via PPARγ activation and increasing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. Wound healing is promoted by flavonoids that stimulate fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, along with antimicrobial activity against common wound pathogens.
