“…Leaves of S. africana are used in Tanzania by traditional healers to treat fungal infections [32]. S. lychnophora dried ripe seeds are also used to cure sore throat and pharyngitis [33,34]. A decoction of the powdered dried leaves of S. setigera has been used for the treatment of mycobacterium especially in HIV/AIDS patients with chronic cough and blood stains.…”

Brachychiton rupestris and Brachychiton luridum are deciduous trees belonging to family Malvaceae. Several members of the genus Brachychiton and its related genus, Sterculia, are used in folk medicine for the treatment of infections. Herein, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of the total extracts, n-hexane, dichloromethane as well as the ethyl acetate fractions of the leaves of both species using agar well diffusion method in an effort to better consolidate the scientific basis for their traditional uses. The study was carried out against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria together with two fungi. The extracts and fractions showed mean inhibition zones diameter in the range of 10.97-14.98 mm with minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging between 39.06 and 625 µg/mL against the susceptible bacteria and fungi. The ethyl acetate fraction of B. luridum exhibited notable activity against Staphylococcus aureus while the total extract showed moderate activity against Salmonella typhi. Regarding B. rupestris, the total extract, n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions showed moderate activity against Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and Salmonella typhi, respectively. Other extracts and fractions showed weak or no activity against the tested microorganisms. Qualitative phytochemical screening of both plants was performed to preliminary unveil the classes of secondary metabolites present in the leaves. The results indicated the existence of flavonoids, tannins, sterols, triterpenes, carbohydrates and/or glycosides in both plants.

“…[3] Sterculia species are generally used by local African tribes and Chinese healers to treat gastrointestinal disorders. [11][12][13] They showed potent activity in eliminating bacterial infections that consequently cause diarrhoea and dysentery. Leaves of S. foetida are used as laxative, diuretic, anti-epileptic and insect repellent.…”

“…The seeds of S. lychnophora are also used as a remedy for pharyngitis and sore throat. [11][12][13] Sterculia setigera root bark and fruits are used to treat boils, inflammation, chickenpox, measles, dysentery, syphilis, epilepsy, jaundices, malaria and leprosy. A decoction of the powdered dried leaves is commonly used for the treatment of Mycobacterium infections and HIV/AIDS patients with chronic cough and bloody stains.…”

Objectives Sterculia and Brachychiton are two related genera (Malvaceae) containing more than 300 species. Most of these species are ornamental trees that are native to Australia and widely cultivated in many countries. Different members of the two genera were used by various cultures for medicinal and economical purposes. This review sheds light on the medicinal values and chemical composition of various species of these two genera. Key findings Sterculia and Brachychiton species were used traditionally for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, microbial infection, skin diseases, inflammation and many other conditions. The seeds of various species were roasted and eaten by many traditional tribes. Plants from the two genera revealed their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antiulcer, insecticidal and analgesic activity. These activities may be attributed to the presence of a wide range of secondary metabolites as flavonoids, phenolic acids, coumarins, terpenoids particularly sesquiterpenes and triterpenes in addition to sterols and fatty acids. Moreover, the gummy exudates obtained from some members of these genera played an important role in different pharmaceutical dosage forms and drug-delivery systems. Conclusions More research is recommended on other species of Sterculia and Brachychiton to discover new molecular entities with potential biological and economic values.
