Ficus exasperata
Arbre de fig de l'Afrique de l'Ouest aux feuilles rugueuses et sableuses utilisées pour la guérison des plaies, le traitement antimicrobien et la gestion de l'hypertension.
Ficus exasperata, a West African fig tree with sandpaper-like leaves, is traditionally used for wound healing, hypertension, and gastrointestinal disorders. Its pharmacological activities include antimicrobial, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing effects, attributed to flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, and sterols. Evidence is limited (Level C), primarily from preclinical and pilot studies.
The antihypertensive effect is mediated through inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and calcium channel blockade, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. Antimicrobial activity results from disruption of bacterial cell membranes by saponins and tannins, while wound healing is promoted via enhanced fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, likely due to flavonoid and tannin content. Anti-inflammatory actions involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene production.
