Prunus lusitanica
Iberian evergreen cherry tree with leaves used in folk medicine similar to bay laurel.
Prunus lusitanica, the Iberian evergreen cherry, is used in folk medicine as a digestive tonic and antimicrobial. Its leaves contain prunasin, tannins, and flavonoids, which contribute to its aromatic and therapeutic properties. However, due to cyanogenic glycosides, caution is advised with large doses and during pregnancy.
The primary active compound, prunasin, is a cyanogenic glycoside that can release small amounts of hydrogen cyanide, which may stimulate digestion via bitter taste receptors and mild irritation. Tannins provide astringent and antimicrobial effects by binding to proteins and disrupting microbial cell walls. Flavonoids contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions through modulation of NF-κB and scavenging free radicals.
