A Comparative Study of Chemical Composition of Acacia Seyal Stem, Stem Wood and Stem Bark Dry Distillates Used by Sudaneses Women as Cosmetic and Medicine

Abstract: Objective: The content and chemical composition of dry distillates of the stem, stem wood and stem bark of Acacia seyal were investigated. The distillates are fumigants of A. seyal locally known in Sudan as Dokhan and widely used for its cosmetic, aromatic and medicinal value for the treatment of candidiasis, genital yeast infection, urinary tract infection, diarrhoea, respiratory tract infection, skin infection and with potent, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Methods:The dry distillates were prepare… Show more

“…Furanones with anti-QS activity are known as an antagonist of HSLs. The presence of some furanones in the bark of A. seyal have been reported (Eltayeb et al, 2017). Some compounds identified in the bark of A. seyal could also contribute to the anti-virulence and anti-biofilm properties of this plant.…”

“…Some compounds identified in the bark of A. seyal could also contribute to the anti-virulence and anti-biofilm properties of this plant. Indeed, 4-ethylguaiacol identified in the bark by GC-MS analysis (Eltayeb et al, 2017) at 0.005 % has inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli O157 : H7 biofilm formation by >50% (Kim et al, 2016). Also, vanillin present in the stem inhibits Aeromonas hydrophila biofilm formation (Ponnusamy et al, 2009).…”

“…According to Eltayeb et al 2017 [21], the Sudanese A. seyal stem and stem wood contain tannins, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, reducing sugars, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids. The stem barks extract shows only positive results for tannins, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, and reducing sugars, while all test materials are free from saponins.…”

“…constituents were solerone, furfural, catechol, syringol, allo-inositol, mequinol, furfuralcohol, 3-methyl-1,2cyclopentanedione, phenol, homovanillyl alcohol, 1,3-dimethyl-5-methoxypyrazol, and 1,2-anhydro-3,4,5,6-alloinositol. [21]. Gum Arabic (GA) or acacia gum is dried gummy exudate (mainly shaped in tears, spherical, or subspherical forms) obtained pathologically, mainly by incision, from the stems and stem branches of acacia trees, especially A. senegal and A. seyal, family Fabaceae.…”

“…Similarly, the species was reported as an essential income generation means in the case of Sudan rural farmers [51]. In other ways, none of the respondents in the study area used the species for gum resin production and medicinal values though; it was recognized as a potential species for gum resin and medicinal values where its diferent parts were used for the treatment of various diseases [44,52,53]. Most respondents (80%) used Acacia seyal species for diferent service values such as shading value for animals and humans at work, soil conservation via mulching of cuttings, and rehabilitation of degraded areas.…”
