Newbouldia laevis
Small ornamental tree used extensively in traditional medicine across West and Central Africa for epilepsy, fever, skin conditions, and as a wound healer.
Newbouldia laevis is a small ornamental tree native to West and Central Africa, traditionally used for epilepsy, wound healing, and fever. Modern research indicates anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities, attributed to compounds such as lapachol, quercetin, and iridoids. Evidence level C reflects limited clinical data supporting these uses.
The anticonvulsant effect may involve modulation of GABA-A receptors and sodium channel blockade, similar to other naphthoquinones. Lapachol and quercetin exhibit antimicrobial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting DNA gyrase. Anti-inflammatory actions are mediated through inhibition of COX-2, NF-κB, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6). Tannins contribute to wound healing via astringent and antimicrobial properties.
