Cassia abbreviata
Arbre légumineux d'Afrique australe utilisé pour ses puissants effets purgatifs, les infections sexuellement transmissibles, le paludisme et comme antimicrobien à large spectre.
Cassia abbreviata, a Southern African legume tree, is traditionally used as a potent purgative and for treating sexually transmitted infections, malaria, and snake bites. Its primary active compounds include anthraquinones (e.g., sennosides) and tannins, which confer laxative and antimicrobial properties. Despite limited clinical evidence, it remains a significant herb in African ethnomedicine.
The laxative effect is primarily due to sennosides, which are converted by colonic bacteria into rheinanthrone, stimulating peristalsis and fluid secretion in the colon. Antimicrobial and antimalarial actions are attributed to anthraquinones and flavonoids, which may inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and Plasmodium growth. Tannins provide astringent effects, potentially useful in diarrhea and wound healing.
