Piliostigma thonningii
West African tree used in traditional medicine for fever, malaria, and respiratory conditions.
Piliostigma thonningii is a West African tree traditionally used for fever, malaria, and respiratory conditions. Its bark and leaves contain flavonoids such as luteolin and kaempferol, along with tannins and saponins, which contribute to its antimalarial, antipyretic, and antimicrobial properties. Evidence is limited to preliminary studies (Grade C).
The antimalarial activity is attributed to luteolin and kaempferol, which inhibit heme polymerization and disrupt parasite membrane integrity. The antipyretic effect may involve inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis via COX-2 modulation. Tannins and saponins contribute to antimicrobial activity by disrupting bacterial cell walls and inhibiting microbial enzymes. These compounds also exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects through NF-κB pathway modulation.
