1. Bacterial infection : Plant part used: Bark. Documented pharmacological profile: Streptomycine-like.
   Selon Mosquera-Chaverra L (2022) : The results showed remarkable antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract (20 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus (22.6 mm) & Escherichia coli (19.6 mm) & of the crude water extract (20 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus (18.5 mm) & E coli (12.4 mm). Antibacterial activity & minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were carried out by agar diffusion & dilution methods, respectively, using ethanolic & aqueous extracts. Selon Remon-Rodriguez H (2012) : The dried extracts showed antibacterial activity in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29737).
2. Periodontitis, dental caries : Plant part used: Seed. Documented pharmacological profile: Gentamycine-like.
   Selon Herrera-Herrera Ale (2014) : The strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 & Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175 were exposed to this extract to evaluate its antibacterial effect.

3. Cattle ixodosis : Plant part used: pest control and veterinary. Documented pharmacological profile: Deltaméthrine-like.
   Selon Panameno A (1994) : Evaluation of aqueous & ethanol extracts of Mamey seed (Mammea americana) for tick control in bovines, El Salvador Univ, Facultad de Ciencias Agronomicas, 1994.-Resumen : Entre febrero y Septiembre de 1993, se evaluaron los extractos Etanólico y acuoso, de semillas de Mamey (Mammea americana) para el control de garrapatas en bovinos, a concentraciones del 10 por ciento para ambos extractos, comparados con un testigo en Blanco y un testigo relativo (Deltamethrine), obteniendose el 100 por ciento de mortalidad del parasito al quinto dia post aplicación de los tratamientos, lo que resultó estadisticamente igual a la Eficácia de las Deltamethrine, concluyendose que tanto el extracto Etanólico, como el acuoso tienen efecto ixodicida, considerandose el mas économico (Colon) y de facil adopcion el extracto acuoso,.
