“…In all of these studies, the anti-inflammatory effect against carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema was attributed to flavonoids and other polyphenolic compounds. Animal tests also employed to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of the medicinal plant extracts included inflammatory cell response such as neutrophil chemotaxis and degranulation [112, 487], antiatherosclerosis effects [486], and pain assessment in experimental animals [117].…”

The use of traditional herbal remedies as alternative medicine plays an important role in Africa since it forms part of primary health care for treatment of various medical conditions, including wounds. Although physiological levels of free radicals are essential to the healing process, they are known to partly contribute to wound chronicity when in excess. Consequently, antioxidant therapy has been shown to facilitate healing of such wounds. Also, a growing body of evidence suggests that, at least, part of the therapeutic value of herbals may be explained by their antioxidant activity. This paper reviews African herbal remedies with antioxidant activity with the aim of indicating potential resources for wound treatment. Firstly, herbals with identified antioxidant compounds and, secondly, herbals with proven antioxidant activity, but where the compound(s) responsible for the activity has not yet been identified, are listed. In the latter case it has been attempted to ascribe the activity to a compound known to be present in the plant family and/or species, where related activity has previously been documented for another genus of the species. Also, the tests employed to assess antioxidant activity and the potential caveats thereof during assessment are briefly commented on.

“…The Cleome genus contains 250 species, of which only seven are used in traditional medicine (Wollenweber and Dorr 1992). Many species of the Cleome genus have been studied for their medicinal properties, and some have been evaluated for their activating (Selloum et al 1995;Nagaya et It is a northern species growing in the Maghreb and Saharan regions, common in the Hodna (M'sila) and some regions of the Algerian Sahara: Cleome arabica (Ozenda 1991;Beniston 1984). It is locally called "Netten" and "Netteina" (Baba Aissa 2000) and, like other species, it's rich in flavonoids (Touil et al 1998;Bouriche et al 2003;Wollenweber and Dorr 1992).…”
