Terminalia macroptera
West African tree used across the Sahel region from Senegal to Sudan for liver conditions, wounds, respiratory infections, and as a general antimicrobial.
Terminalia macroptera is a medicinal tree native to West Africa, traditionally used for liver conditions, wounds, and respiratory infections. Modern research indicates hepatoprotective, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities, attributed to compounds such as punicalagin, ellagic acid, and tannins.
The hepatoprotective effects are mediated through antioxidant activity, particularly via ellagic acid and punicalagin which scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Antimicrobial action involves disruption of bacterial cell membranes by tannins and flavonoids, while anti-inflammatory effects are linked to inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB pathways. The bark decoction's efficacy in wound healing may be due to enhanced collagen synthesis and angiogenesis.
