Zephyranthes grandiflora
Ornamental bulb of Central America with pink flowers blooming after rain, used in folk medicine.
Zephyranthes grandiflora, a Central American ornamental bulb, is used in folk medicine primarily for diabetes and infections. Modern research suggests potential antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities, attributed to alkaloids like lycorine and tazettine, as well as flavonoids. Evidence is limited (Level C), with most data derived from traditional use and preliminary studies.
Lycorine, a major alkaloid, exhibits hypoglycemic effects by enhancing insulin secretion and improving peripheral glucose uptake, possibly via AMPK activation. Tazettine and other alkaloids contribute to anti-inflammatory activity through inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways. Flavonoids provide antioxidant support, reducing oxidative stress associated with diabetes. The plant's antiviral effects may involve interference with viral replication, though specific mechanisms remain unclear.
