Margousier
Azadirachta indica · Indian lilac
Azadirachta indica, commonly known as neem, is a traditional tree native to India but widely cultivated in tropical regions. Traditionally, it has not been extensively documented for specific medicinal uses; however, its leaves and extracts are often used due to their accessibility, affordability, and family traditions. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits such as antidiabetic and anticancer activities, with vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles synthesized from neem leaf extract showing promising results in vitro. Additionally, five phytocompounds from Azadirachta indica leaf extract have shown potential against multi-drug resistant bacteria through computational and in vitro assessments. The plant has demonstrated effectiveness against fall armyworm in African maize systems, though further standardization and validation are needed for broader recommendations. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified thus far.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a révélé que les résidents both ruraux et urbains de Nsukka se servent de remèdes végétaux comme le neem en raison de leur accessibilité, leur coût modique et des traditions familiales, malgré la disponibilité de médicaments conventionnels.
- Cette étude montre que les nanoparticules d'oxyde de vanadium synthétisées à l'aide du extrait de feuille de néam présentent un potentiel d'activité antidiabétique et anticancéreuse in vitro.
- Cinq phyto composés issus du extrait de feuille d'Azadirachta indica ont montré un potentiel contre Citrobacter koseri et Staphylococcus saprophyticus multirésistant grâce à des évaluations informatiques et in vitro.
- L'examen suggère que Azadirachta indica a le plus fort équilibre d'arguments pour l'utilisation contre la pèse-poulet dans les systèmes de maïs africain, bien qu'une standardisation et une validation en terrain soient nécessaires.
- L'analyse informatique suggère que des dérivés de quercétine issues des feuilles d'Azadirachta indica pourraient être des inhibiteurs potentiels de TTK pour le traitement du cancer du poumon et du pancréas.
- Le Nimba a induit une réprogramming transcriptionnel plus large que le Triphala chez les macrophages infectés par le DENV, renforçant les programmes d'ARN stimulés par l'interféron et atténuant les signaux inflammatoires.
