“…It has also been confirmed that its stem bark possesses a broad antimicrobial spectrum including Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans [27][28][29]. Tittikpina et al [29] isolated four compounds from the plant, i.e. friedeline, 2,3 dihydroxypropyloctacosanoate, a mixture of βsitosterol stigmasterol and campesterol; βsitosteryl-β-D-glucopyranoside which were found to be active against bacteria.…”

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in three regions of the country (two rural and one urban), using a questionnaire focussing on anti-diarrheal therapeutic habits. Methodology: Information about the plants has been recorded (local name, organs or part(s) of the plant used, therapeutic indications, harvesting methods, methods of administration, side effects, etc.). Collection of the plants was done in collaboration with traditional practitioners and identification of the specimens was conducted at the National Floristic Center (Ivory coast). During the ethnobotanical survey, twelve traditional healers and nine breeders were interviewed which all declared to treat diarrhoea with plants. During this survey, twenty-seven species belonging to eighteen different families of plants were reported for anti-diarrhoeal use in humans or animals. They were all harvested on the field and a herbarium of each species was prepared in duplicate, one stored at the National Floristic Centre of the Felix Houphouët-Boigny University and the other at the Pasteur Institute of Ivory coast. Results: Decoction was the most common mode of preparation used by practionioners and the oral route remained also the main way of administration of plants by healers. These plants are also used in other countries for the same or other purpose. Conclusion: This study shows that traditional medicinal plants play an important role in the treatment of diarrhoea in Ivory coast. It provides basis for future studies to assess, biological and chemical potential of these plants.

“…The tree is widespread in the savannah areas that stretch from Senegal and Gambia to Chad and the Central African Republic [ 6 ]. The Tchamba tribe in Togo (which calls the tree “Boutô”) employs its bark to treat candidiasis and various other infections [ 7 , 8 ]. In contrast, the Kotokoli tribe in the same country, referring to the tree as “Tem”, uses powders obtained from its roots against typhoid fever and bark decoction against haemorrhoids [ 9 ].…”

Turning Waste into Value: Nanosized Natural Plant Materials of Solanum incanum L. and Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir with Promising Antimicrobial Activities

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Numerous plants are known to exhibit considerable biological activities in the fields of medicine and agriculture, yet access to their active ingredients is often complicated, cumbersome and expensive. As a consequence, many plants harbouring potential drugs or green phyto-protectants go largely unnoticed, especially in poorer countries which, at the same time, are in desperate need of antimicrobial agents. As in the case of plants such as the Jericho tomato, Solanum incanum, and the common African tree Pterocarpus erinaceus, nanosizing of original plant materials may provide an interesting alternative to extensive extraction and isolation procedures. Indeed, it is straightforward to obtain considerable amounts of such common, often weed-like plants, and to mill the dried material to more or less uniform particles of microscopic and nanoscopic size. These particles exhibit activity against Steinernema feltiae or Escherichia coli, which is comparable to the ones seen for processed extracts of the same, respective plants. As S. feltiae is used as a model nematode indicative of possible phyto-protective uses in the agricultural arena, these findings also showcase the potential of nanosizing of crude “waste” plant materials for specific practical applications, especially—but not exclusively—in developing countries lacking a more sophisticated industrial infrastructure.

“…This is hardly surprising given the high cost of orthodox medicines (Cameron et al, 2009), coupled with the fact that almost two-thirds of the population live in rural areas, and the country consists of 42 different ethnic groups, each with its very own traditions and rituals (Kuevi, 1981; Goeh-Akue and Gayibor, 2010). The extensive use of such plants -and products derived from them -in the treatment of various diseases has also resulted in different scientific studies, which have explored the diversity in the use of plants in Togo in general, and the regional folk medicine in particular (Agody, 2007;Moukaïla, 2010;Tchacondo et al, 2011;Amegan, 2012;Tittikpina et al, 2013;Franck, 2014;Zabouh, 2014;Sema, 2015;Lawson-Viviti, 2015).…”

TOGO TO GO: PRODUCTS AND COMPOUNDS DERIVED FROM LOCAL PLANTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES ENDEMIC IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA AbstractBackground: Many African countries suffer from endemic diseases which are often caused by infections and seriously affect the social and economic development of these nations. While the access to proper medication is still limited, many of these countries are, at the same time, rich in medical plants. Materials and Methods:A review of relevant scientific (and gray) literature was carried out and information obtained from local authorities in medicinal plants. A synthesis of the data obtained was thereafter performed and recommendations for the future proposed.Results: Plants such as Cissus aralioides, Securidaca longipedunculata, Piliostigma thonningii, Nauclea latifolia, Ocimum gratissimum and Newbouldia laevis are widely reported to be used in the treatment of endemic diseases in Togo and her neighbouring countries.These plants often contain highly potent chemical compounds, such as quinones, xanthones, tannins and terpenes and therefore may provide an alternative avenue to short-term treatment. A combination of further analysis of plant materials and their active ingredients on the one hand, and modern technology to turn such natural products into commercial equivalents on the other, is required in order to identify the targets and modes of action of these natural materials, unlock access to them, and ultimately produce valuable medicines and phytoprotectants based on locally grown plant materials. Conclusion:The production of plant-derived products, as advocated in this paper, is in line with the WHO's traditional medicine strategy 2014-2023, and will eventually yield a sustainable health-and-wealth generating cycle that will benefit a countries in the region, economically and ecologically.Keywords: Togo, redox active secondary metabolites, phytochemicals, antimalarial activity, antidiarrheal activity, tropical diseases. Plants as a widely used natural resource in TogoMany sub-Saharan African countries suffer from immense health-related problems, diseases and epidemics, which impact heavily on their populations, and hold back the development of their societies and economies. This issue has recently been highlighted by the outbreak of Ebola, yet there are also many other, equally damaging diseases, including, for instance, malaria, various types of fevers and infections by bacteria and infestations by pathogenic nematodes (Hotez and Kamath, 2009;Crump, 2012). Paradoxically, whilst these countries are a hotbed of infectious diseases, they are also rich in natural resources, and among them a myriad of plants containing biologically active ingredients which seem to be active against many microbes. By unlocking this treasure chest of local "green gold", it should therefore, in theory, eventually be possible to develop affordable medicines locally and to apply them to the populations in need. Since many of these natural products are also active against agricultural pests (Shrivatava et a...
