Robinia pseudoacacia
North American naturalized tree; flowers used as food and in folk medicine for digestive and respiratory conditions.
Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust) is a naturalized tree in North America whose flowers are used in folk medicine and as food. It is traditionally employed for digestive complaints and respiratory conditions, with modern uses as an anti-inflammatory and digestive tonic. Key active compounds include flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils in the flowers, while the bark and seeds contain the toxic toxalbumin robin.
The anti-inflammatory and digestive actions of Robinia pseudoacacia flowers are attributed to flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol, which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Tannins provide astringent effects that may soothe gastrointestinal mucosa. The essential oils in flowers exhibit mild expectorant and spasmolytic activities, potentially via modulation of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. However, the toxalbumin robin in bark and seeds acts as a ribosome-inactivating protein, causing severe GI toxicity.
