Vitex negundo
A widely used medicinal shrub in Asia used for respiratory conditions, joint inflammation, and as a female hormonal regulator; extensively used in Filipino traditional medicine as Lagundi.
Vitex negundo (Lagundi) is a medicinal shrub widely used in Asian traditional medicine, particularly in the Philippines, for respiratory conditions such as cough and bronchitis, as well as for joint inflammation and female hormonal regulation. Its key active compounds include luteolin, vitexin, and iridoid glycosides, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and hormone-modulating effects.
The anti-inflammatory effects of Vitex negundo are attributed to luteolin and vitexin, which inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. For respiratory conditions, flavonoids exhibit bronchodilatory and antitussive activities via modulation of β2-adrenergic receptors and inhibition of histamine release from mast cells. In female hormonal balance, iridoid glycosides may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, potentially modulating prolactin and progesterone levels through dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways.
