Asian spiderflower
Cleome viscosa
Cleome viscosa is a plant traditionally found in inselbergs of Burkina Faso and associated with specific plant communities, particularly noted as an indicator species. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, scientific research has identified potential cardioprotective properties through the isolation of a thermally stable serine protease inhibitor from its seeds. Additionally, lupeol acetate derived from Cleome viscosa showed promise in studies for myocardial infarction protection based on pharmacological and molecular interactions. The plant is associated with certain insect species like Bagrada hilaris in the Comoro Islands. Safety data does not indicate any major concerns, nor are there recorded drug interactions at this time.
