Picralima nitida
Arbre d'Afrique de l'Ouest dont les graines sont utilisées comme analgésique et antimalarial puissant.
Akuamma (Picralima nitida) is a West African tree whose seeds are traditionally used for pain relief and malaria treatment. Its primary active alkaloids, including akuammine, pericine, and alstonine, exhibit opioid receptor activity and antimalarial properties. Modern research focuses on its potential as a natural analgesic and antimalarial agent, though clinical evidence remains limited.
Akuammine acts as a partial agonist at mu-opioid receptors and also interacts with kappa and delta receptors, contributing to its analgesic effects. Pericine is a full mu-opioid agonist, while alstonine modulates serotonin receptors (5-HT2A) and may have anti-inflammatory activity. The antimalarial action is attributed to inhibition of heme polymerization and interference with parasite metabolism. These mechanisms are supported by in vitro and animal studies, but human data are scarce.
