Tagetes minuta
South American Tagetes naturalized worldwide used in folk medicine for digestive complaints and as insect repellent.
Tagetes minuta, a South American herb naturalized worldwide, is traditionally used for digestive complaints and as an insect repellent. Its primary active compounds include thiophene derivatives, cis-tagetone, limonene, and flavonoids, which contribute to its carminative, antimicrobial, and insect-repellent properties. Modern evidence supports its use in mild digestive disorders and as a topical insect repellent, though clinical data remain limited.
Thiophene derivatives, such as alpha-terthienyl, exhibit phototoxic insecticidal activity by generating reactive oxygen species upon UV exposure. Cis-tagetone and limonene demonstrate antimicrobial effects against bacteria and fungi, likely through disruption of microbial cell membranes. Flavonoids contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, while limonene may exert carminative effects by relaxing gastrointestinal smooth muscle and reducing gas formation.
