“…The health medicinal plants providing a new area of drug research [2]. The demand for plant-based medicines, food supplement, health products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics are increasing in both developing and developed countries due to the growing recognition that then a natural products are non-toxic, have less side effects and easily available [3]. Secondary metabolites have been developed in nature form of different plant species, insects, fungi, algae, and prokaryotes during evolution in enormous diversity.…”

Objectives: To study in vitro cytotoxic activity of total alkaloid extracts of Pinus sabiniana L., Phoenix dactylifera L. and Ferocactus sp. L. against breast cancer cell line Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) and non-tumorigenic fetal hepatic cell line (WRL-68). Methods: Plant powder of each P. sabiniana L. leaves, P. dactylifera L. pollen grains, and Ferocactus sp. L. The leaves were extracted separately with 80% methanol, chloroform at pH 2 and pH 10 and the chloroform portion was dried to obtain the total alkaloid extracts. The total alkaloids were detected qualitatively by Mayer’s, Dragendorff’s and Hager’s reagents and estimated quantitatively by bromocresol green spectrophotometry depending on the atropine calibration curve. The cytotoxic activity was evaluated by 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazoyl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Results: The extract of P. sabiniana L. had highest total alkaloid content (164.62±2.8 mg/100 g dry weight of plant) than the other plants (P. dactylifera l., Ferocactus sp. L.), the total alkaloids of Ferocactus sp. L. and P. dactylifera L., reduced the cell viability of both cell lines, the highest reduction occurred in the concentration 400 μg/ml was 46±2.20% (MCF-7) and 56.2±2.2% (WRL-68) for Ferocactus sp. L., followed by 56.2±2.2% (MCF-7) and 57.5±3.2% (WRL-68) for P. dactylifera L. The alkaloids of P. sabiniana was very lower effects on both cell lines MCF-7, and WRL-68 was 89.3±3.44% and 90.16±2.7%, respectively, at the same concentration. Conclusion: Plant alkaloids had variable effects against cancer and normal cell lines depending on the type of alkaloid compounds and their concentration in the extract.

En zone sahélienne où les ressources ligneuses sont relativement rares, l’espèce Leptadenia pyrotechnica joue un rôle très important dans la vie des populations locales. La présente étude dont l’objectif est de répertorier les connaissances locales sur les modes d’utilisation et de gestion des peuplements naturels par les populations locale de Leptadenia pyrotechnica a été conduite dans la région de Diffa. Des enquêtes ethnobotaniques ont été conduites au niveau de cinq villages. Il s’agit de: Issari; Guelborno Mounimari, Jalori, Joulou Kriyé et le marché de Digurdi. Dans l’ensemble des villages, un total de 150 personnes a été interviewé à travers des entretiens individuels. Les principales rubriques du questionnaire administré sont relatives aux principales utilisations et leur impact sur la ressource. Il ressort de l’étude que toutes les parties de Leptadenia pyrotechnica (feuilles; rameaux, tiges, racines, écorce et la sève) sont utilisées par les différents groupes ethniques et socioprofessionnels de la zone d’étude (Haoussa, Peulh et Kanouri). Cependant, la connaissance de l’importance et les différentes catégories d’utilisation dépendent d’un groupe à un autre. Les principales catégories d’utilisations dénombrées dans le cadre de la présente étude sont: l’utilisation comme bois énergie, fixation des dunes, fourrage et pharmacopée traditionnelle. La fixation des dunes et la transhumance s’avèrent être les principaux facteurs limitant la disponibilité de cette espèce. Pour une conservation durable de l’espèce, une norme de prélèvement de Leptadenia pyrotechnica doit être définie pour la fixation des dunes et la capacité de charge des formations à Leptadenia pyrotechnica doit être contrôlée vis-à-vis des transhumances. © 2020 International Formulae Group.

Mots clés: Leptadenia pyrotechnica, utilisation, bois, sève, rameaux, racine English Title: Ethnobotanical importance of Leptadenia pyrotechnica Forsk. in the department of Diffa in Niger English Abstract In the Sahelian zone where wood resources are relatively rare, the species Leptadenia pyrotechnica plays a very important role in the lives of local populations. The purpose of this study, which is to identify local knowledge on the use and management of natural stands by local populations of Leptadenia pyrotechnica, was conducted in Diffa region. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted at five villages. These are: Issari; Guelborno Mounimari, Jalori, Joulou Kriyé and Digurdi market. In all the villages, a total of 150 people were interviewed through individual interviews. The main sections of the questionnaire administered relate to the main uses and their impact on the resource. The study shows that all parts of Leptadenia pyrotechnica (leaves, twigs, stems, roots, bark and sap) are used by the different ethnic and socio-occupational groups in the study area (Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri). However, knowledge of importance and the different categories of use depend on one group to another. The main categories of uses enumerated in this study are: wood energy use, dune fixation, fodder and traditional pharmacopoeia. The fixation of the dunes and the transhumance appear to be the main factors limiting the availability of this species. For a sustainable conservation of the species, a Leptadenia pyrotechnica sampling standard must be defined for the fixation of the dunes and the carrying capacity of Leptadenia pyrotechnica formations must be checked against transhumance. © 2020 International Formulae Group.
