“…In Burkina Faso, more than 2 067 medicinal species are used, some of which are used to treat rheumatic pain [2] . These include Ekebergia senegalensis, Khaya senegalensis, Pseudocedrela kotschyi and Trichilia emetica, four (04) Meliaceae with anti-inflammatory and anti-arthralgia properties, which have a consensus of preferential use in the traditional treatment of rheumatoid arthritis [4] . Indeed, numerous publications indicate that E. senegalensis leaves are used to treat migraines, fever and rheumatism [5] .…”

“…The bark, roots and leaves of P. kotschyi have antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and rheumatic properties [10,11] . The roots and bark of T. emetica have anti-pain, anti-platelet aggregation and anti-inflammatory properties through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis [4] . From a phytochemical point of view, the Meliaceae family has an abundant and highly diversified chemical profile, characterized by the presence of phenolic and terpene compounds [5] .…”

Meliaceae plants are widely used in traditional medicine across West Africa, including well-documented analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. This study describes assessments for the standardization of powders from the leaves and bark of these plant materials. Pharmacognostical studies carried out by macroscopic and microscopic evaluations revealed the presence of stomata, fibers, hairs and calcium oxalate crystals in plant material powders. The physicochemical assays indicated moisture contents less than 5%, and total ash contents less than 10% for all powders except to P. kotschyi bark (20.09%). P. kotschyi leaves showed the highest amount of phenolic (89.14±0.9 mgEAG/g) and terpenoids compounds (229.51±8.76 mgETriam/g). The barks of P. kotschyi (27242 mg/kg) and K. senegalensis (12558 mg/kg) showed the highest calcium contents. These results constitute factual elements that could contribute to the elaboration of monographs for the quality control of Meliaceae powders of interest.
