Aframomum angustifolium
Espèce de cardamome d'Afrique de l'Est utilisée en médecine traditionnelle pour la fièvre, le paludisme et les troubles digestifs.
Aframomum angustifolium, a species of wild cardamom native to East Africa, is traditionally used for fever, malaria, and digestive complaints. Its primary active compounds include cineole, terpenes, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which contribute to its antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive tonic properties. Evidence is limited (Level C), with most support from traditional use and preliminary pharmacological studies.
The antimalarial activity is attributed to alkaloids and flavonoids that inhibit Plasmodium falciparum growth, possibly via heme polymerization inhibition or oxidative stress induction. Anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through suppression of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, as well as inhibition of NF-κB signaling, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The digestive tonic action is likely due to volatile oils like cineole, which stimulate gastric secretions and exert carminative effects by relaxing gastrointestinal smooth muscle.
