Indigofera arrecta
African indigo species; leaves used in East African folk medicine for diabetes and infections.
Indigofera arrecta, an African species of indigo, is traditionally used in East African folk medicine for diabetes and infections. Modern research indicates potential anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities, attributed to compounds such as indigotin, indirubin, flavonoids, and tannins. Evidence is limited (Level C), primarily from in vitro and small animal studies.
The anti-diabetic effects may involve inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes, reducing postprandial hyperglycemia, as well as enhancement of insulin sensitivity via activation of PPARγ pathways. Antimicrobial activity is likely due to disruption of bacterial cell membranes by flavonoids and tannins, while anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB signaling. Indirubin, a key compound, also shows potential as a kinase inhibitor.
