Sampaguita Flower contains key compounds like hesperidin and quercetin, which primarily inhibit the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway by binding to PI3K and AKT proteins. This action helps reduce tumor cell proliferation and the production of reactive oxygen species.
Reported Benefits (Provisional)
Origin & History
Jasminum sambac, commonly known as Sampaguita or Arabian Jasmine, is a highly fragrant flowering plant native to Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, Indonesia, and India. It thrives in tropical and subtropical climates and is revered for its potent calming, skin-enhancing, and immune-boosting properties.
Research Narrative (Provisional)
Preliminary research, including studies on polyphenols and essential oils, suggests Sampaguita Flower possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective properties. Emerging evidence supports its potential for skin health, immune modulation, and stress resilience.
Preparation & Dosage

Reported Mechanism (Provisional)
Hesperidin and quercetin in Sampaguita inhibit the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway by binding to PI3K and AKT proteins, thereby reducing tumor cell proliferation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Other bioactives like benzyl acetate and linalool exert antioxidant effects through free radical scavenging (DPPH, ABTS) and tyrosinase inhibition. These compounds also demonstrate anti-inflammatory actions by attenuating MAPK activation, including p38, ERK, and JNK.
Clinical Narrative (Provisional)
Preliminary research, primarily including in vitro and in vivo studies on polyphenols and essential oils, suggests Sampaguita Flower possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective properties. These studies focus on identifying bioactive compounds and elucidating their potential mechanisms in cellular and animal models. Emerging evidence supports its potential for benefits in skin health, immune modulation, and stress resilience, although large-scale human clinical trials with specific sample sizes are currently lacking.
