Ethnopharmacological relevance
The African-Arabian succulent genus Aloe L. (Aloaceae/Asphodelaceae) is represented by approximately 120 infrageneric taxa in southern Africa, including A. ferox Mill., a species long used in commercial natural products.Aims of the study
To assess the documented ethnobotanical knowledge and biocultural value of utility in the genus in southern Africa.Materials and methods
A survey of over 350 multidisciplinary publications was undertaken.Results
Local uses for medicine and wellbeing were identified for over half the species of Aloe occurring in the Flora of Southern Africa region. The most frequently cited medicinal uses were the treatment of infections and internal parasites, digestive ailments and injuries. Numerous species were recorded for their social uses, notably as ingredients in tobacco snuff.Conclusion
The exceptional infrageneric diversity of Aloe, and extensive therapeutic uses in southern Africa, indicate its cultural importance in the subcontinent. These factors highlight the need for the conservation of the species as well as their potential as a source of natural products. 相似文献2.
ABSTRACTAloe ferox. Mill. is one of the plants used for the treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Different extracts of the plant were investigated for their antimicrobial constituents. This led to the isolation of three known compounds, namely, 1,8-dihydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-9,10-anthracenedione (1, aloe-emodin), 1,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-9,10-anthracenedione (2, chrysophanol), and 10-C.-β-D-glucopyranosyl-1,8-dihydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-9-anthracenone (3, aloin A). The structures of the compounds were determined by chemical and spectroscopic studies. The antibacterial activity of the compounds (1–3) was demonstrated using the microplate dilution method. 相似文献
