“…Among the different methods of preparation, the decoction was the main mode of medicinal preparation. Our results are similar to those of other researchers [18] [19] [17] who showed that the decoction is the most method used by the traditional healers for their medicinal preparation. Our results also indicated that the oral drinking was the most route of administration.…”

An ethnobotanical survey for a better knowledge of lactogenic plants has been conducted in Cascades region of Burkina Faso. Biological activities of the two most used plants were evaluated. The survey concerned 25 species classified into 22 genera and 19 families. The most represented families were Moraceae, Apocynaceae, Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae and Malvaceae. The most used species were Euphorbia hirta, Calotropis procera and Ficus sycomorus with respectively 16.98%, 13.21% and 13.21% followed by Ficus platyphylla (9.43%) and Carica papaya, Holarrhena floribunda, Scoparia dulcis, Sorghum bicolor, each with 3.77% of frequency use. Plants organs mostly used for medicinal preparation were leaves, whole plant for herbaceous species, fruits and seeds. The main mode of medicinal preparation was decoction with 60.42% of frequency use. The most route of administration was oral (68.75%). Biological activities evaluation concerned Euphorbia hirta and Calotropis procera which were the most used plants. The acute toxicity of aqueous extracts of Calotropis procera (AECP) and Euphorbia hirta (AEEH) showed a LD 50 of 2063 and 603 mg/kg body weight (b.w), respectively. These LD 50 values permitted to classify these plants as slightly toxic herbal drugs. The uterotrophic test showed that the AECP and AEEH exhibited estrogenic activity. In conclusion, important medicinal plants in the Cascades region of Burkina Faso were used to stimulate or ameliorate lactation. However further studies must be conducted to confirm the traditional use of these plants.

“…Parmi les seize autres espèces, indiquées par un seul informateur, trois plantes sont indiquées dans le traitement traditionnel de l'UB en Afrique de l'Ouest, en l'occurrence Aframomum melegueta au Benin et au Ghana (Yemoa et al, 2008(Yemoa et al, , 2011Seefeld et al, 2013); Elaeis guineensis en Côte d'Ivoire (Adjet et al, 2013 ;; Spathodea campanulata au Benin, Côte d'Ivoire et Ghana (Adjet et al, 2013;Sam et al, 2013;Addo et al, 2007;Yemoa et al, 2008;. Les treize autres espèces, non indiquées dans le littérature comme plantes anti-ulcère de Buruli sont plutôt indiquées pour d'autres indications thérapeutiques telles que le diabète, la jaunisse, la gale, les céphalées et fièvres, la tuberculose, les dermatoses, l'ascite, l'épilepsie, les éruptions cutanées, la blennorragie, les vers intestinaux, l'hypertension artérielle, la typhoïde (Dongmo et al, 2007;N'guessan et al, 2009;Mangambu et al, 2014;.…”

Ethnopharmacological and ethnobotanical approach of medicinal plants used in the traditional treatment of Buruli ulcer in Akonolinga (Cameroon) ABSTRACTFew data are available concerning plants used in the traditional treatment of Buruli ulcer in Cameroon. This study aimed to identify species and characterize anti-Buruli ulcer recipes in the Akonolinga district. The H. N. BAYAGA et al. / Int. J. Biol. Chem. Sci. 11(4): 1523-1541, 2017 1524 ethnopharmacological survey has enabled to identify 25 plant species used against Buruli ulcer. The plant parts mostly used were stem bark (41.1%), stem (26.8%) and leaves (25%). Decoction (64.3%) and pounding (23.2%), the most dominant preparing method, were administrated externally, mostly by massage and disinfection (64.3%) and by local poultice application (14.3%). The analysis of relative frequency of citation, as well as the search of similarity and convergence of use, have shown that Musa parasidiaca, Mitracarpus villosus, Aframomum melegueta, Elaeis guineensis and Spathodea campanulata were among species exhibiting remarkable convergence of use between different geographical regions; while seven others, Petersianthus macrocarpus, Momordica cabraei, Cassia spectabilis, Citrus medica, Terminalia superba, Ceiba pentandra and Ipomoea aquatica, formed another most significant species group. In highlighting those 12 species of interest, this study has direct bearing in drug design and innovation by the ethnopharmacological reasoning, thereby contributing to species selection and direction for prior chemical, pharmacological and clinical assessments leading to plant-based drug development that Africa needed for its pandemic pathologies.

“…The 50 plants studied in the present work were selected based on results of a survey carried out between 1999 and 2005 in Northern Côte d'Ivoire on the use of medicinal plants for treating human parasitic diseases and associated discomforts (stomach ache, dysentery, diarrhoea (Koné 2005;Koné et al 2002Koné et al , 2005, animal parasitic diseases (Koné and Kamanzi Atindehou 2008) and on literature reports (Diehl et al 2004;Tra Bi et al 2005;Togola et al 2008;N'Guessan et al 2009 …”

“…Many patients from resource poor settings have strong beliefs in the use and efficacy of ethnomedicines (Chinsembu and Hedimbi 2010). In Côte d'Ivoire, medicinal plants are widely used against various diseases from parasitic and nonparasitic origin such as malaria, bacterial infection, rheumatic, gastro-intestinal parasite infections, diarrhoea, dysentery, respiratory diseases and cough (Adjanohoun and Aké Assi 1970Assi , 1979Bouquet and Debray 1974;Koné et al 2002;Koné and Kamanzi Atindehou 2008;Tra Bi et al 2005;N'Guessan et al 2009). …”

Natural products play an important role in the discovery and development of new pharmaceuticals. In the present study, we assessed the anthelmintic properties of medicinal plants used in Cote d'Ivoire. Ethanolic extracts from 50 medicinal plants were tested in vitro against trematodes (Echinostoma caproni, Schistosoma mansoni) and nematodes (Ancylostoma ceylanicum, Heligmosomoides bakeri, Trichuris muris). Active extracts were evaluated for their cytotoxicity and followed up in vivo in mice harbouring adult S. mansoni, E. caproni and T. muris at single oral doses of 400 or 800 mg/kg. All extracts tested were active against at least one helminths species. Ten of the 65 extracts tested (15.4%) in vitro revealed activity against all helminths tested. Of 65 extracts tested in vitro at a concentration of 2 mg/ml, all caused death of schistosomula and 34.4% and 39.1% were lethal against adult S. mansoni and E. caproni 72 h post-incubation, respectively. The highest activity against A. ceylanicum in vitro was observed with Sclerocarya birrea at 2 mg/ml, which resulted in death of adult worms and inhibition of activity of third-stage larvae (L3). Of the extracts, 41.5% completely inhibited movement of H. bakeri L3 at minimal lethal concentration (MLC) values of 20-200 μg/ml 48 h post-incubation, and 15.4% paralysed adult H. bakeri at 200 μg/ml 72 h after incubation. Of the extracts, 19% resulted in death of adult T. muris at MLC values of 10-100 μg/ml. In vivo, none of the extracts tested revealed activity against E. caproni. Olax subscorpioidea achieved total and female worm burden reductions of 60% and 84%, respectively in S. mansoni-infected mice. Combretum mucronatum was the most active extracts in vivo against T. muris with a worm burden reduction of 85.3%. In conclusion, several of the medicinal plants used in Côte d'Ivoire are active against different helminths, hence might play a role in the treatment of helminthiases. Further studies are necessary to isolate the active components from these extracts.
