1. Oxidative stress : Plant part used: Fruit. Documented pharmacological profile: RUTINE-like.
   Selon Aseervatham GS (2013) : Acetaminophen treatment was found to trigger an oxidative stress in liver, leading to an increase of serum marker enzymes. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the antioxidant & hepatoprotective effect of polyphenolic-rich P. Selon Gonzalez Pena MA (2021) : The carotenoids were extracted from mamey & carrot, & their antioxidant capacity were determined via in vitro (ABTS method) & in vivo assays (resistance against oxidative stress in Caenorhabditis elegans).
2. Osteoarthritis, oedema, arthritis, rheumatism : Plant part used: Seed. Documented pharmacological profile: Indométacine-like.
   Selon Aly ME (2016) : The seeds ethanolic extract produced 85% inhibition of inflammation in the rat paw oedema test at the dose of 100 mg/kg after 4 h (p<0.05). The present study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic, anti-inflammatory & gastroprotective activities of ethanol, de-fatted ethanol extracts & n-hexane fractions of Pouteria Campechiana (Kunth) Baehni leaves & seeds. Selon Nur M (2022) : PC peel contains a significantly (p < 0.01; p < 0.001) high amount of phenolics, flavonoids, & showed potential antioxidant, anti-inflammation activities as compared to the pulp.
3. Gastric ulcer : Plant part used: Seed. Documented pharmacological profile: Ranitidine-like.
   Selon Aly ME (2016) : Both leaves & seeds ethanolic extracts showed significant decreases in gastric ulcer number & severity (p<0.05). The present study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic, anti-inflammatory & gastroprotective activities of ethanol, de-fatted ethanol extracts & n-hexane fractions of Pouteria Campechiana (Kunth) Baehni leaves & seeds. Selon Nur M (2022) : PC peel contains a significantly (p < 0.01; p < 0.001) high amount of phenolics, flavonoids, & showed potential antioxidant, anti-inflammation activities as compared to the pulp.
