Maytenus senegalensis
Southern and East African shrub whose roots and leaves are used for digestive complaints, sexually transmitted infections, and abdominal pain.
Maytenus senegalensis is a Southern and East African shrub whose roots and leaves are traditionally used for digestive complaints, sexually transmitted infections, and abdominal pain. Its bioactive compounds include maytansine, sesquiterpenes, tannins, flavonoids, and terpenoids, which contribute to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective properties. Modern research suggests potential antitumor activity, though clinical evidence remains limited.
Maytansine, a potent microtubule inhibitor, disrupts mitotic spindle formation, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, which underlies its antitumor potential. Flavonoids and terpenoids modulate inflammatory pathways by inhibiting COX-2, LOX, and NF-κB, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Tannins and sesquiterpenes exert antimicrobial effects through membrane disruption and enzyme inhibition, while gastroprotective actions may involve increased mucosal prostaglandin production and antioxidant activity.
