Harungana madagascariensis
Tropical African tree producing orange latex used in traditional medicine across sub-Saharan Africa for wound healing and antimicrobial applications.
Harungana madagascariensis is a tropical African tree whose orange latex and bark are used traditionally across sub-Saharan Africa for wound healing and infections. Its primary active compounds include harunganin, xanthones, anthraquinones, and tannins, which contribute to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiplasmodial activities. Modern research is limited (evidence level C), but preliminary studies support its traditional uses in wound care and malaria management.
Harunganin and xanthones disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis and membrane integrity, while anthraquinones inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and modulate the NF-κB pathway to reduce inflammation. Tannins promote wound contraction and epithelialization through protein precipitation and growth factor stimulation. Antiplasmodial effects are attributed to inhibition of heme polymerization in Plasmodium parasites, similar to chloroquine's mechanism.
