Vachellia arabica
Acacia du Moyen-Orient et d'Asie du Sud ; l'écorce et la gomme sont utilisées pour l'hygiène dentaire, le diabète et les affections digestives.
Acacia arabica (Vachellia arabica) is a medicinal tree native to the Middle East and South Asia, whose bark and gum are traditionally used for dental hygiene, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders. Its primary active compounds include tannins, gallic acid, arabinose, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which contribute to its antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, astringent, and wound-healing properties. Evidence is limited (Level C), with most support derived from traditional use and preliminary studies.
The astringent and antimicrobial effects of Acacia arabica are primarily due to its high tannin content, which precipitates proteins and disrupts microbial cell membranes. Its anti-diabetic action is attributed to gallic acid and flavonoids that inhibit alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase, thereby reducing postprandial hyperglycemia, and may also enhance insulin secretion via pancreatic beta-cell modulation. Additionally, the flavonoids and tannins exhibit antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions, while the gum's polysaccharides (arabinose) provide prebiotic effects and promote wound healing through collagen synthesis and fibroblast proliferation.
