ETUDE MONOGRAPHIQUE, PHYTOCHIMIQUE ET MICROGRAPHIQUE DE TROIS PLANTES MEDICINALES DE LA FAMILLE DES FABACEAE
AbstractMedicinal plants play a vital role in addressing health problems, particularly in Africa, where they often constitute the primary therapeutic resource. Encouraged by the WHO, which recommends their integration into health systems, their use nevertheless requires rigorous control based on identification. In Côte d’Ivoire, among the most widely used botanical families are the Fabaceae, renowned for the diversity of their species with pharmacological properties. This study presents, a micrographic and chemical analysis of three plants from this family: Abrus precatorius, Bafia nitida, and Desmodium adscendens. The analyses performed included micrographic examination of leaf powders, phytochemical screening of hydroethanolic extracts, using thin-layer chromatography, and chemical analysis by HPLC-ESI(+)-Q/TOF. Microscopic analysis allowed us to identify the characteristic elements. Chemical analysis revealed the presence of several groups of secondary metabolites (alkaloids, flavonoids, quinones, tannins, sterols, terpenes, and polyphenols), confirming the potential of these plants as sources of bioactive molecules and highlighting the importance of their valorization and integration into healthcare systems.
