Bioactive Compounds in Wilga
Modern scientific investigations have identified several bioactive compounds in Geijera parviflora that contribute to its therapeutic potential:Rune+2Woodleigh Hills+2ResearchGate+2
Flindersine: This alkaloid has demonstrated significant inhibition of prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) release, a key mediator of inflammation and pain. In vitro studies showed that flindersine inhibited PGE₂ with an IC₅₀ value of 5.0 μM, supporting its role in pain relief. PubMed+1Woodleigh Hills+1
Coumarins: Compounds such as geiparvarin and dehydrogeijerin have been isolated from Wilga leaves. While their full medicinal implications are still under investigation, coumarins are generally recognized for their anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties. Rune+7ScienceDirect+7Wikipedia+7
Saponins and Terpenoids: These classes of compounds are known for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, contributing to overall health and wellness. Although specific studies on Wilga's saponins and terpenoids are limited, their presence aligns with the plant's traditional uses.
