Die Amerikanische Traubenkirsche (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) ist eine Baum- oder Großstrauchart aus der Familie der Rosengewächse, die in Nordamerika beheimatet und heute auch in ganz Europa verbreitet ist. In heimischen Gebieten werden die Früchte, Rinde und Zweige von P. serotina seit Jahrhunderten in der traditionellen Medizin hochgeschätzt. Sie werden insbesondere als Heilmittel zur Behandlung von Magen-Darm-Beschwerden sowie zur Linderung von Atemwegsbeschwerden oder als Beruhigungsmittel eingesetzt. Dieses Manuskript setzt sich zum Ziel, den aktuellen Wissensstand über die o.g. Art, ihre Inhaltsstoffe und ihr therapeutisches Potenzial zusammenzufassen.

Abstract

The wild black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) is a tree or large shrub species of the rose family, indigenous to North America and now common throughout Europe. The fruits, bark and branches of P. serotina have been highly appreciated in traditional medicine in the indigenous regions for centuries. In particular, they are used as a remedy for the treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory system diseases, as well as sedatives drugs. The objective of this study is to summarize the current state of knowledge about this species, its chemical composition and therapeutic potential.
