Vangueria infausta
Southern African fruit tree used for nutritive and medicinal purposes; bark used for fever, malaria, and digestive disorders across Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa.
Vangueria infausta is a Southern African fruit tree whose bark and fruit are used traditionally for fever, malaria, and digestive disorders. Its key active compounds include tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and phenolic acids, which contribute to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Limited evidence supports its use for nutritional support and mild antimicrobial effects.
The antimicrobial activity is attributed to tannins and flavonoids that disrupt bacterial cell wall integrity and inhibit microbial enzymes such as DNA gyrase. Anti-inflammatory effects may involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antioxidant properties are due to phenolic acids and flavonoids that scavenge reactive oxygen species and chelate transition metals. The fruit's organic acids and nutrients support digestive health by promoting gastric acid secretion and providing micronutrients.
