Piscidia piscipula
Caribbean medicinal tree; traditional fish anesthetic and powerful analgesic, especially for dental pain.
Piscidia piscipula is a Caribbean tree traditionally used as a fish anesthetic and analgesic, particularly for dental pain. Modern research supports its sedative, anxiolytic, and antispasmodic properties, attributed to isoflavonoids, rotenone, and piscidin. However, evidence is limited (Level C), and safety concerns exist due to potential neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity.
The sedative and anxiolytic effects are likely mediated through modulation of GABA-A receptors by isoflavonoids such as jamaicin and piscidin, enhancing chloride ion conductance. The analgesic action may involve blockade of voltage-gated sodium channels by rotenone and ichthynone, similar to local anesthetics. Additionally, antispasmodic effects on smooth muscle may result from calcium channel antagonism by piscidic acid. However, rotenone is a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor, which raises concerns for neurotoxicity at high doses.
