Polyphenolic Profile, Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Nociceptive Activities of Some African Medicinal Plants

The aim of the present study was to investigate the polyphenolic profile and the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of four traditionally used medicinal plants from Burkina Faso: <i>Parkia biglobosa</i>, <i>Detarium microcarpum</i>, <i>Vitellaria paradoxa...

description The aim of the present study was to investigate the polyphenolic profile and the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of four traditionally used medicinal plants from Burkina Faso: <i>Parkia biglobosa</i>, <i>Detarium microcarpum</i>, <i>Vitellaria paradoxa</i> and <i>Sclerocarya birrea</i>. The analysis of the main phenolic compounds was performed by the HPLC-UV-MS method. The anti-inflammatory effect of the aqueous bark extracts was investigated by the λ-carrageenan-induced rat paw edema test. The anti-nociceptive activity was evaluated by the Randall–Selitto test under inflammatory conditions. Seven phenolic acids (gallic, protocatechuic, gentisic, vanillic, <i>p</i>-coumaric, ferulic, and syringic acids), and three flavonoids (catechin, epicatechin, and quercitrin) were identified in the plant samples. High contents of gallic acid were determined in the <i>D. microcarpum</i>, <i>P. biglobosa</i> and <i>S. birrea</i> extracts (190–300 mg/100 g), and <i>V. paradoxa</i> extract was the richest in epicatechin (173.86 mg/100 g). The <i>λ</i>-carrageenan-induced inflammation was significantly reduced (<i>p</i> < 0.001) by the <i>P. biglobosa</i> and <i>D. microcarpum</i> extracts (400 mg/kg p.o.). Under the inflammatory conditions, a significant anti-nociceptive activity (<i>p</i> < 0.001) was obtained after 2–3 h from the induction of inflammation. The effects of the tested extracts could be related to the presence of polyphenols and could be useful in the management of certain inflammatory diseases.
