Acacia xanthophloea
Arbre des marécages et des lacs est-africains ; la chair est utilisée par les Maasai et d'autres peuples est-africains pour le paludisme et la fièvre.
Fever Tree (Acacia xanthophloea) is a traditional East African remedy for malaria and fever, with bark preparations used by the Maasai and other peoples. Modern research has identified antimalarial, antipyretic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities, attributed to compounds such as acacetin, vitexin, isovitexin, tannins, and alkaloids. Evidence remains limited (Grade C), primarily from in vitro and preliminary studies.
Antimalarial activity is linked to acacetin and vitexin, which inhibit heme polymerization and disrupt Plasmodium falciparum growth. The antipyretic effect may involve central prostaglandin inhibition via COX-2 modulation, while tannins contribute to antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions by binding to microbial proteins and scavenging reactive oxygen species. Alkaloids present may also interact with neurotransmitter receptors, though specific pathways require further elucidation.
