Acacia nilotica
Arbre africain et du Proche-Orient ancien; gomme utilisée depuis l'Égypte ancienne; écorce et gousses utilisées à des fins médicinales.
Acacia nilotica, an ancient tree from Africa and the Middle East, yields gum arabic and tannin-rich bark and pods used traditionally for digestive disorders, wound healing, and respiratory ailments. Its key active compounds include arabinogalactans, gallic acid, ellagic acid, catechin, and tannins, which confer prebiotic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Modern evidence supports its use as a prebiotic fiber and for managing diarrhea and gum disease, though clinical data remain limited.
The prebiotic action of Acacia nilotica gum is mediated by arabinogalactans, which resist digestion and are fermented by gut microbiota to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, promoting colon health. Tannins (e.g., gallic acid, ellagic acid) and flavonoids (catechin) exert astringent effects by precipitating proteins in mucosal membranes, reducing inflammation and fluid loss in diarrhea. Antimicrobial activity involves disruption of bacterial cell walls and inhibition of efflux pumps, while anti-inflammatory effects are linked to inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis.
