Pharmacological effects and mechanism of action

 

The presence of thymol and carvacrol from the phenolic compounds of this plant has caused antispasmodic, antitussive, and thyme expectorant effects. These phenolic compounds cause antispasmodic effects in the airways by blocking calcium channels.

Also, rosmarinic acid in thyme, along with thymol and carvacrol, can help reduce the symptoms of inflammation in a variety of colds, bronchitis, and upper respiratory tract infections by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. The presence of saponins and flavonoid compounds in thyme indicates proven expectorant effects. The antimicrobial effects of this plant are also seen. Triterpene saponins present in the leaves of the Ivy plant exhibit expectorant, mucolytic, spasmolytic, bronchodilator, and antibacterial effects.

Among these saponins, in particular, the two compounds Hederacoside C and alpha Hydrin in the plant, with their indirect effects, inhibit intracellular harvesting of b2 receptors and cause the response of these receptors in the cell to be longer.

In this way, they increase the secretion of surfactants in the airways, which causes the mucolytic and expectorant effects of the Ivy plant. Besides, by applying this inhibition, the adenylate cyclase system remains continuously active, and this kind of relaxation of the smooth muscles of the bronchi becomes possible and continues.

In addition, the proven antimicrobial (antiviral, antifungal) effects of these saponins on certain microbial strains have been seen in various studies, which show that Ivy plant is also beneficial in the treatment of bronchitis And pneumonia. In this way, thyme and Ivy plants are used to relieve various types of coughs and prevent them from getting worse in acute bronchitis, colds, infections of the respiratory tract, sore throats and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract.
