“…However, several studies investigated S. mombin leaves impact on milk production for improvement of breeding in the West African Dwarf sheep. These investigations from Benin and Nigeria observed lactogenic effects of fresh or dried S. mombin leaves fed to ewes as an increase of the milk yield, the serum prolactin levels as wells as the lamb's body weight gains [10,11,32,33] . In the present study, the aqueous of S. mombin leaf extract inhibited the mammary differentiation of HC11 cells, as the β-casein mRNA expression was half of that induced in the DMSO-treated control cells (Fig.…”

A recent ethnobotanical study collected traditional knowledge on treatments and plants of tribes in Uíge, Northern Angola, a region suffering from infant malnutrition and mortality. Aqueous extracts of twelve different plant species (leaves or stems) collected were prepared and subject of chemical profiling. The impact of twelve plant extracts on mammary epithelial cell differentiation was tested in vitro by dosedependent treatment of HC11 cells. Leaf extracts of Carica papaya and Morinda lucida induced HC11 differentiation and elevated the mRNA expression of the milk protein β-casein, while the remaining ten inhibited the HC11 mammary differentiation. The majority of the plant extracts did not induce in vitro mammary epithelial cell differentiation assuming that the plants might rather exert their effects on prolactin levels or on other mechanism influencing the mammary gland health. Phenolic acids and flavonoids were identified as the predominant and potentially active chemical classes responsible for the observed lactogenic effects.

Objectives Spondias mombin is traditionally used as an herbal medicine for several human diseases and ailments in the tropical regions across the globe including the African countries. This study aimed to provide comprehensive information on nutritional benefits, ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemical constituents, pharmacological properties and toxicology study of S. mombin. Information was gathered from documented literatures in scientific database. Key findings The study revealed that S. mombin has nutritional values; with the leaf, fruit, flower, seed, and stem bark possessing a wide range of ethnomedicinal uses across several regions, with documented pharmacological properties. S. mombin has a frequent rate of ethnomedicinal utility in cases of abortion, constipation, fever, gonorrhea, postpartum hemorrhage, digestive pain, diarrhoea, dysentery and wounds. Ethnopharmacological studies showed that crude extracts and chemical compounds from S. mombin manifested in vivo and in vitro biological and pharmacological activities. About 102 isolated compounds from the leaf, fruit, or stem bark of S. mombin have been reported. Summary Overall, S. mombin has several nutritive and ethnomedicinal benefits owing to its chemical constituents, which are linkable to the several pharmacological activities. There remains however, the need for dosage intake caution, upon the advice of medical professionals.
