Some ergogenic medicinal plants are used in exercise and sport in Africa in order to increase sport performance. However, data on their composition and their possible impacts on health are limited. This study was initiated to provide ethnobotanical data on plants traditionally used to optimize physical performance and to perform a qualitative characterization of their main chemical groups. Ethnobotanical surveys in two communes (Dedougou and Nouna), of the region of , Burkina Faso and phytochemical analyses of the most interesting plants were conducted. A total of 50 respondents including traditional hunters , farmers, healers, herbalists, marabouts, etc., were interviewed. Fifty-two species used in the optimization of exercise and sports have been identified. The most cited species were , , , , , and . These plants are known to prevent muscle and skeletal disorders, aches and pains, and mental disorders. The study identified several types of plants including those displaying stimulation, anxiolytic, sedative, adaptogenic, or erythropoietic activities. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, alkaloids, terpenes, and steroids, which are similar molecules families of those of doping molecules. Additionally, TLC screening allowed the characterization of numerous terpene and flavonoid compounds including rutin. The possible structural similarity of the characterized chemical groups of these species with those of doping families raise concerns about the consequences of their consumption. However, the identification of the active molecules of these species remains to be performed in order to predict the real risks associated with their consumption.
在非洲，一些具有增强体能作用的药用植物被用于运动和体育领域以提高运动表现。然而，关于它们的成分及其对健康可能产生的影响的数据有限。开展这项研究是为了提供关于传统上用于优化身体机能的植物的民族植物学数据，并对其主要化学类别进行定性表征。在布基纳法索 地区的两个公社（代杜古和努纳）进行了民族植物学调查，并对最受关注的植物进行了植物化学分析。总共采访了50名受访者，包括传统猎人、农民、治疗师、草药师、伊斯兰教托钵僧等。已确定52种用于优化运动和体育的植物。被提及最多的植物有 、 、 、 、 和 。这些植物已知可预防肌肉和骨骼疾病、疼痛以及精神障碍。该研究识别出了几种类型的植物，包括具有刺激、抗焦虑、镇静、适应原或促红细胞生成活性的植物。植物化学筛选显示存在酚类化合物、生物碱、萜类和甾体，它们与兴奋剂分子属于相似的分子家族。此外，薄层色谱筛选能够对包括芦丁在内的多种萜类和黄酮类化合物进行表征。这些物种特征性化学基团与兴奋剂家族化学基团可能存在的结构相似性引发了对食用它们后果的担忧。然而，仍需对这些物种的活性分子进行鉴定，以便预测与食用它们相关的实际风险。
