Zusammenfassung

Der Liguster, Ligustrum vulgare L., gehört zu den vergessenen Arzneipflanzen, dessen Blätter, historisch belegt, v. a. zur Entzündungshemmung im Mund- und Halsbereich genutzt wurden. Der Nachweis relevanter Mengen an Secoiridoiden, wie Oleuropein, sowie Flavonoiden und Phenylpropanoiden stützen diese Indikation und sollten neue pharmakologische Untersuchungen an Ligusterblättern rechtfertigen.

Abstract

Privet: A seemingly forgotten herbal remedy

Ligustrum vulgare L. (wild privet) seems to be a forgotten medicinal plant. Its leaves were traditionally used to cure minor inflammations in the mouth or the throat. The presence of secoiridoids, like oleuropein, flavonoids and phenylpropanoids in the leaves support these ethnomedical indications and might justify further pharmacological investigations.
