Warburgia salutaris
Endangered East African tree; bark highly valued in Zulu, Swati, and Tsonga traditional medicine.
Warburgia salutaris is an endangered East African tree whose bark is highly valued in Zulu, Swati, and Tsonga traditional medicine. It is primarily used for respiratory infections, malaria, stomach disorders, fever, and as an immune support in HIV, with key active compounds including warburganal, polygodial, and muzigadial. Evidence level C indicates limited clinical data, but in vitro and traditional use support its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiviral properties.
The sesquiterpene dialdehydes (warburganal, polygodial, muzigadial) exert antimicrobial effects by disrupting microbial cell membranes and inhibiting key enzymes such as fungal chitin synthase and bacterial RNA polymerase. Anti-inflammatory activity is mediated through inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Tannins contribute to astringent and antioxidant effects, while the dialdehydes also show antiviral activity by interfering with viral replication and entry.
