Swietenia mahagoni
Caribbean tree with seeds used in folk medicine for hypertension, diabetes, and as a tonic.
Swietenia mahagoni (West Indian mahogany) is a tropical tree whose seeds are traditionally employed as an antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and general tonic. Modern research indicates potential for blood pressure and blood sugar management, attributed to limonoids such as swietenine and swietenolide, along with flavonoids. However, clinical evidence remains limited (Grade C), and safety concerns during pregnancy and with concurrent medications warrant caution.
The antihypertensive effect is proposed to involve inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and calcium channel blockade, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral resistance. The hypoglycemic action may be mediated through enhanced insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, increased peripheral glucose uptake via AMPK activation, and inhibition of α-glucosidase. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are attributed to limonoids suppressing NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, while flavonoids contribute free radical scavenging.
