“…Riparian populations of the Fathala Forest have cited 11 (eleven) species as being involved in the treatment of hypertension. The species cited are among the most widely used in the Senegalese pharmacopoeia (Cisse et al 2016, Diatta et al 2013, Gning et al 2014). On the other hand, the results obtained in this study differ little from those obtained from similar ethnomedicinal surveys conducted throughout Africa (Apema et al 2011) in the Central African Republic; Orch et al (2015) in Morocco; Dibong et al (2015) in Cameroon).…”

Background: Diabetes and hypertension are serious health issues, and both are predicted to increase, particularly in Africa. The objectives of this study are to (1) identify plants used to treat diabetes and hypertension and (2) characterize their therapeutic uses based on ethnobotanical information. Methods: Semi-structured individual and group interviews were conducted with traditional healers, patients, nurses and other actors near Fathala Classified Forest in western Senegal. Data were processed using content analysis. Citation frequency (CF) was used to determine importance of each species.Results: A total of 38 species were used to treat diabetes and hypertension. These belong to 34 genera and 21 families. Eighteen species were used to treat both diabetes and hypertension, 12 were used to treat hypertension and eight to treat diabetes. The most used plant parts were leaves (56%) bark (10%) and roots (10%). Preparation of the medicine mainly consisted of decoction (45%), infusion (17%) and maceration (15%) and most medicines were taken as a drink (76%). The most used species in the treatment of diabetes are Terminalia avicennioides (FC= 69%), Sclerocarya birrea (FC=23 %) and Cocos nucifera (FC=15%). Moringa oleifera (FC=46,15%), Oxytenanthera abyssinica (FC=30,76%) and Detarium microcarpum (FC=23,07%) are mainly used against hypertension.Combretaceae (28,57%), Fabaceae (28,57%) and Anacardiaceae (19,05%), are most represented families.Conclusion: A diversity of native plants were used as antidiabetic and antihypertensive medicine. Ethnobotanical knowledge could constitute a foundation for identifying new active ingredients for developing new or improved medicine.

Ce travail adhère à l'initiative de valorisation des végétaux conduite par la Grande Muraille Verte (GMV) pour faire face à la disparition des végétaux et des savoir-faire végétaux associés. L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer la diversité végétale impliquée dans le traitement des pathologies dermatologiques au Ferlo (Sénégal) et d’évaluer l’activité antimicrobienne des plantes les plus utilisées. Pour ce faire, un guide d’entretien semi directif a été soumis aux enquêtés, afin de recueillir la diversité des plantes utilisées au Ferlo dans le traitement des dermatoses. Des tests de micro dilution ont permis d’évaluer la concentration minimale inhibitrice (CMI) d’extraits de Sept (7) plantes contre une souche fongique (Candida albicans) et une bactérienne (Staphyloccocus aureus). Vingt-huit (28) espèces réparties dans 26 genres et 14 familles ont été recensées comme impliquées dans le traitement des affections dermatologiques. L’écorce est la partie la plus exploitée, puis le latex, tandis que, la décoction, suivie de l’usage direct représentent les modes de préparation les plus fréquents. Treize (13) parmi les plantes proposées sont exclusivement utilisées contre les dermatoses, quatre (4) fréquemment exploitées, et onze (11) occasionnellement recommandées. Widou Thiengoli est la localité où l’on exploite le plus d’espèces suivi de Loughere Thiolly. Leptadenia lancifolia (Schumach.& Thonn.) Decne. Stereospermum kunthianum Cham. et Sterculia setigera Delile ont été identifiées comme actives contre Candida albicans avec respectivement des CMI de 1,5 mg/ml pour les deux premières et 0,755 mg/ml pour la troisième. Acacia seyal Delile, Sterculia setigera Delile et Anogeissus leiocarpa (DC) Guill. & Perr. ont détruit Staphylococcus aureus avec respectivement des CMI de 3 mg/ml pour les deux premières et 1,5 mg/ml pour la troisième. This work adheres to the plant enhancement initiative led by the Great Green Wall (GGW) to deal with the disappearance of plants and associated plant know-how. The objective of this study is to determine the plant diversity involved in the treatment of dermatological pathologies in Ferlo (Senegal) and to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the most used plants. To do this, a semi-directive interview guide was submitted to respondents, in order to promote the diversity of plants used at Ferlo in the treatment of dermatoses. Microdilution tests made it possible to evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of extracts of seven (7) plants against a fungal strain (Candida albicans) and a bacterial strain (Staphyloccocus aureus). Twenty-eight (28) species distributed in 26 genera and 14 families have been referenced as involved in the treatment of dermatological conditions. The bark is the most used part, then the latex, while the decoction, followed by direct use, represents the most frequent methods of preparation. Thirteen (13) among the proposed plants are exclusively used against dermatoses, four (4) frequently used, and eleven (11) occasionally recommended. Widou Thiengoli is the locality where the most species are exploited, followed by Loughere Thiolly. Leptadenia lancifolia (Schumach. & Thonn.) Decne. Stereospermum kunthianum Cham. and Sterculia setigera Delile were administered as active agents against Candida albicans with MICs of 1.5 mg/ml for the first two and 0.755 mg/ml for the third, respectively. Acacia seyal Delile, Sterculia setigera Delile and Anogeissus leiocarpa (DC) Guill. & Perr. destroyed Staphylococcus aureus with respectively MICs of 3 mg/ml for the first two and 1.5 mg/ml for the third.

In Burkina Faso, medicinal plants are used mainly by the most vulnerable populations (70%). This study aims to promote the ex-situ reproduction of Flemingia faginea to make it accessible as a remedy for high blood pressure. Sexual reproduction of Flemingia faginea was carried out to evaluate the effect of 2 pre-germination treatments on the seeds’ germination rate. One pre-germination treatement included soaking seeds in tap water for 24h (T1), another soaking in boiling water until cooling for 24h (T2) while the control experiment did not have any pre-germination treatments (T0). We used seeds from two provenances: North-Sudanian (NS) and South-Sudanian (SS). The germination percentage and mean germination time (MGT) were calculated; additionally, the seedling height, diameter, leaves production were monitored for 2 months. The variance analyses fit to tukeys tests were used to compare the effects of the various treatments on germination rate, mean germination time and seedling growth. The best germination rate was obtained with T0 (96% NS and 79% SS). The best mean germination time (MGT) was 7.25 days T2. The best seedling growth was obtained with T0 and T1 (P=0.000). As the provenance is concerned, the NS provenance was the best source for germination capacity, for the best seedling growth. A test using seeds from NS combined at T0 conditions provides optimal conditions for production of F. faginea at almost no cost to the local population.
