Combretum indicum
Southeast Asian vine used as anthelmintic across Asia; roasted seeds expel roundworms.
Quisqualis indica (Combretum indicum) is a Southeast Asian climbing vine traditionally used as an anthelmintic, particularly for roundworm infections. Its roasted seeds contain quisqualic acid, a potent glutamate receptor agonist, along with trigonelline, tannins, and fatty acids. Modern evidence supports its antiparasitic activity, though clinical data are limited to pilot studies and traditional use.
Quisqualic acid acts as an agonist at AMPA and kainate receptors, causing excitotoxic paralysis in parasitic nematodes. This disrupts neuromuscular function, leading to expulsion of worms. Additionally, tannins may contribute to anthelmintic effects by binding to proteins and interfering with parasite metabolism. The compound also exhibits antimicrobial properties, though the exact mechanisms are not fully elucidated.
