Active constituents of the uva
ursi herb are phenolic glycoside or arbutin. Arbutin, is a powerful
astringent with antiseptic properties, as well as hydroquinone derivatives
(which is a powerful anti-microbial agent). Uva Ursi other compontenets
are: tannins, hyperoside, monotropein and triterpenes. The diuretic action
is due to the glucoside Arbutin, which is largely absorbed unchanged and is
excreted by the kidneys. During its excretion, Arbutin exercises an antiseptic
effect on the urinary mucous membrane. Therefore, it is used in inflammatory
diseases of the urinary tract
Side Effects and Interactions:
The high tannin content of the herb could precipitate alkaloid drugs, and bind
iron or other metal ions. Foods or drugs that produce an acidic urine could
presumably reduce the urinary antimicrobial effects of uva ursi, while
alkanization of the urine would enhance this effect.
