Quinquina d'Inde
Alstonia scholaris · Blackboard Tree
Alstonia scholaris is a traditional medicine plant native to Southeast Asia and used in various folk remedies. While its specific uses are not well-documented, studies have shown that Alstonia scholaris bark extract exhibits antioxidant, antifungal, and anthelmintic properties against certain fungi and parasites. Phytochemicals from the plant, such as echitamine chloride and alstonine, demonstrated promising but weaker inhibitory potential compared to standard antimicrobials in combating periodontal pathogens. Additionally, mouthrinses containing Alstonia scholaris and Calotropis procera extracts were found to be effective in maintaining oral health among children, though their efficacy was similar to chlorhexidine with better taste acceptance. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Alstonia scholaris, indicating that it is generally safe when used as directed.

Ce que dit la science
- L'extrait de peau d'Alstonia scholaris a montré une activité antioxidant, antifongique et anthelminthique contre certains champignons et parasites.
- L'étude a montré que les femelles de Diaphania angustalis libèrent des phéromones sexuelles en synchronie avec leur activité reproductive, atteignant le pic à trois jours après l'éclosion pendant la quatrième heure de la phase scotophile.
- Les phytochimiques d'Alstonia scholaris, en particulier le chlorure d'échitamine et l'alstonine, ont montré un potentiel inhibiteur prometteur mais inférieur à celui des antimicrobiens standards contre les pathogènes de la parodontite.
- L'étude a montré que les gargarismes formulés avec des extraits d'Alstonia scholaris, Calotropis procera ou chlorhexidine ont montré une efficacité similaire pour maintenir la santé bucco-dentaire chez les enfants âgés de 9 à 12 ans.
