Abstract

Acacia nilotica tree is native to Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Due to its wide medicinal properties & uses this plant attracted the attention of many scientists. Its fruits are rich in more than 16 classes of different bioactive molecules & elements very beneficial for human health. These molecules & elements include tannins, saponins, phytosterols, cyclitols, alkaloids, anticoagulant agents, regulatory molecules, amines, mucilage, fibers, gums, proteins, various classes of amino acids, carbohydrates, terpenses, crude fats, oils, fatty acids & minerals. The fruits are used to treat various human disorders including cancers, heart & liver diseases, diabetes mellitus, malaria, asthma, arrhythmias, acquired immune-deficiency syndrome, coronavirus disease 2019, spleen disorders, for weight loss, colds, congestion, coughs, diarrhea, dysentery, fever, gallbladder, hemorrhage, hemorrhoids, leucorrhea, ophthalmia, sclerosis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, skin eruptions smallpox and tuberculosis. Acacia nilotica fruits are very beneficial for human health, safe & effective to treat various human diseases if it is used in appropriate dose & period. It has been in use in Sudan & in other parts of Africa widely & safely for generations to treat various diseases without any reports of toxicity or adverse effects. Moreover, human body has efficient detoxification mechanisms to process and detoxify toxic substances and toxicity in human occurs only from known high toxic substances, overdose, regular and long period of using of herbs or medicines with known side effects. It is apparent that toxicity of acacia nilotica fruits comes from over dosage & longer than required duration of uses or regular consumption and the solvent/s as well. However, further works are needed by pharmaceutical industries to authentically formulate various components of the of acacia nilotica fruits to be used as medicines & supplements to enhance the therapy of several human diseases.

尼罗Acacia果实的生物化学、药用特性及毒性

尼罗金合欢原产于非洲、中东和印度次大陆。由于其广泛的药用特性和用途，这种植物引起了许多科学家的注意。它的果实富含超过16类不同的生物活性分子和对人体健康非常有益的元素。这些分子和元素包括单宁、皂苷、植物甾醇、环内酯、生物碱、抗凝剂、调节分子、胺、粘液、纤维、树胶、蛋白质、各类氨基酸、碳水化合物、萜烯、粗脂肪、油、脂肪酸和矿物质。这些水果用于治疗各种人类疾病，包括癌症、心脏和肝脏疾病、糖尿病、疟疾、哮喘、心律失常、获得性免疫缺陷综合征、2019冠状病毒病、脾脏疾病、减肥、感冒、充血、咳嗽、腹泻、痢疾、发烧、胆囊、出血、痔疮、白带、眼炎、硬化、扁桃体炎、咽炎，皮肤爆发天花和肺结核。尼罗Acacia果实对人体健康非常有益，如果以适当的剂量和时间使用，对治疗各种人类疾病是安全有效的。几代人以来，它一直在苏丹和非洲其他地区广泛安全地使用，用于治疗各种疾病，没有任何毒性或不良反应的报告。此外，人体具有有效的解毒机制来处理和解毒有毒物质，人体毒性仅发生在已知的高毒性物质、过量、经常和长时间使用已知副作用的草药或药物上。很明显，尼罗金合欢果实的毒性来自于过量使用、超过所需使用时间或定期食用以及溶剂。然而，制药行业还需要进一步的工作，以真实地配制出尼罗河阿拉伯胶果实的各种成分，用作药物和补充剂，以增强对几种人类疾病的治疗。
