Arabic Gumtree
Vachellia nilotica
Vachellia nilotica, also known as Acacia nilotica, is a tree native to various regions in Africa and Asia. While its traditional use in medicine has not been extensively documented, it has shown diverse applications across different cultures. Scientifically, Vachellia nilotica leaf extract demonstrated effectiveness in inhibiting mild steel corrosion under acidic conditions, with varying efficiencies depending on the concentration and temperature of the medium. The methanolic extract from the fruit exhibited strong antioxidant properties, along with antimicrobial and moderate selective cytotoxic activity against certain cancer cells in vitro. An optimal composite containing 4 wt.% Vachellia nilotica fibre with SiC filler was found to improve mechanical properties. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been reported for this plant.
