Name: Combretum

Description: Combretum is known for its Antibacterial and antifungal activities. It is the type of flowering trees that belong to the genus of the family Combretaceae. The genus comprises about 370 species of trees and shrubs, 300 of which are native to tropical and southern Africa, about 5 to Madagascar, 25 to tropical Asia and 40 to tropical America. The genus is absent from Australia. Several species are used in African or Indian traditional medicine. The leaves of this plant are odorless and tastes like astringent. An extract from the bark was used as poison by Zulu warriors, is used as a general tonic, and now shows promise for cancer treatments. A variety of anti-cancer compounds called combretastatins are found within the tree bark of Combretum, the most potent of which is combretastatin A-4. Combretastatins bind to the protein tubulin which is essential to cytoskeletal architecture, intercellular transport, cell migration, wound healing, and mitotic spindle development for chromosome segregation and cell division. A member of the mitotic inhibitor class of anti-cancer drugs, combretastatin disrupts tumor blood vessel networks. Combretum contains a large proportion of tannic acid and traces of a Glucoside.
