Diospyros mespiliformis
Arbre d'ébène africain répandu utilisé dans toute l'Afrique subsaharienne pour la malaria, les affections des poumons, la dysenterie et les affections de la peau.
Diospyros mespiliformis, a tree native to sub-Saharan Africa, is traditionally used for malaria, chest conditions, dysentery, and skin disorders. Its bark and leaves contain naphthoquinones (e.g., plumbagin), flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its antimalarial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal activities. Evidence is limited to in vitro and preliminary animal studies (Evidence Level C).
Plumbagin and other naphthoquinones inhibit Plasmodium falciparum by disrupting mitochondrial electron transport and generating reactive oxygen species. They also exhibit antibacterial and antifungal effects through cell wall disruption and enzyme inhibition. Flavonoids and tannins provide anti-inflammatory activity via cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway inhibition, as well as antioxidant effects.
