Xylopia aethiopica
A West African spice tree used in traditional medicine for respiratory conditions, rheumatism, and postnatal care.
Xylopia aethiopica, a West African spice tree, is traditionally used for respiratory conditions, rheumatism, and postnatal recovery. Its active constituents include kolaviron, xylopic acid, and various terpenes, which contribute to analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Evidence is primarily from in vitro and animal studies (Level C), with limited human data.
Kolaviron and xylopic acid inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby providing anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The terpenoids and alkaloids exhibit antimicrobial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting efflux pumps. Additionally, these compounds may modulate NF-κB signaling, further attenuating inflammatory responses. Antifertility effects are thought to involve hormonal disruption and uterine contractility changes.
