Lannea acida
West African savanna tree used in traditional medicine for wound healing, dysentery, and urinary conditions, producing edible fruits.
Lannea acida is a West African savanna tree whose bark and leaves are traditionally used for wound healing, dysentery, and urinary conditions. Modern research indicates antimicrobial, antidiarrheal, and wound-healing activities, attributed to its content of tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and phenolic compounds. Evidence remains limited to pilot studies and traditional use, corresponding to an evidence level of C.
The tannins and flavonoids in Lannea acida exert astringent and antioxidant effects, promoting wound contraction and fibroblast proliferation. Antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi is mediated by phenolic compounds disrupting microbial cell membranes. The antidiarrheal action likely involves tannin-induced protein precipitation in the gut mucosa and reduced intestinal motility, while saponins may contribute to anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways.
