The fruit of is respectively known among local folks in Ghana, Senegal, and Burkina Faso as , and . The plant has been used traditionally, ethnobotanically, and medicinally in most West African countries. The phytochemicals that have been discovered in various extracts of parts include alkaloids, coumarins, anthracene glycosides, anthocyanosides, anthocyanins, coumarins, flavonoids, saponins, saponin glycosides, sterols, condensed tannins, tannins, triterpenes, and triterpenoids. Presently, isolation and characterisation of phytochemicals from various parts of has not been fully explored since scientists have isolated only two steroidal alkaloids from the stem of the plant namely Irehine and Homoandrost-9-ene-17β,17aβ-diol-3β-(methylamino)-17aα-methyl-12-one. The phytochemicals have shown biological properties such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anthelmintic, anti-microbial, analgesic, larvicidal, ovicidal, myostimulant, hypotensive, anti-diabetic, anti-lipid peroxidation and anti-mycobacterial effects. Additionally, isolation and characterisation of medicinally beneficial phytochemicals from various parts of the plant, namely latex, leaf, stem, flower, root, fruit, and bark should be comprehensively investigated. Thus, this current review summarises the traditional uses, phytochemicals, and biological properties of various parts of the plant.
在加纳、塞内加尔和布基纳法索的当地居民中，[植物名称]的果实分别被称为[当地名称1]、[当地名称2]和[当地名称3]。在大多数西非国家，这种植物在传统、民族植物学和医学方面都有应用。在[植物名称]各部位的不同提取物中发现的植物化学物质包括生物碱、香豆素、蒽糖苷、花色苷、花青素、香豆素、黄酮类化合物、皂苷、皂苷糖苷、甾醇、缩合单宁、单宁、三萜类化合物和三萜。目前，由于科学家仅从该植物的茎中分离出两种甾体生物碱，即艾瑞欣和高雄甾-9-烯-17β,17αβ-二醇-3β-(甲氨基)-17αα-甲基-12-酮，因此对[植物名称]各部位植物化学物质的分离和表征尚未得到充分探索。这些植物化学物质已显示出抗氧化、抗炎、驱虫、抗菌、止痛、杀幼虫、杀卵、肌肉刺激、降压、抗糖尿病、抗脂质过氧化和抗分枝杆菌等生物学特性。此外，应全面研究从该植物的乳胶、叶、茎、花、根、果实和树皮等各部位分离和表征具有药用价值的植物化学物质。因此，本综述总结了该植物各部位的传统用途、植物化学物质和生物学特性。
