Faidherbia albida
Arbre africain remarquable à fixation de l'azote qui feuille en saison sèche ; gousses, écorce et gomme utilisées à des fins nutritives et médicinales à travers le Sahel.
Faidherbia albida is a nitrogen-fixing tree native to the Sahel region of Africa, valued for its nutrient-dense pods, bark, and gum. It is used traditionally for nutritional support, wound healing, and managing digestive and respiratory conditions. Key active compounds include tannins, gallic acid, flavonoids, and arabinose, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.
The anti-inflammatory effects are attributed to flavonoids and gallic acid inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antimicrobial activity arises from tannins and flavonoids disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting efflux pumps. Antioxidant action is mediated by gallic acid and flavonoids scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. The high protein and amino acid content in pods supports nutritional rehabilitation.
