In the lush forests of Thailand grows a remarkable plant called Combretum quadrangulare, locally known as “Sakae Naa.” This tree, belonging to the Combretaceae family, has a long history in traditional medicine in Thailand and neighboring countries.

Scientists have studied the chemical composition of Combretum quadrangulare and isolated various compounds, including terpenoids, flavonoids, and steroids. These substances exhibit a range of biological activities, such as antimicrobial and hepatoprotective properties.

A study, published in the journal Molecules, described the isolation and characterization of several flavonoids from the leaves of this plant. The study examined the interaction of these compounds with the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, during which noteworthy biochemical properties were observed.

Additionally, a review article provides insights into the traditional medicinal uses and scientifically explored bioactive properties of various Combretum species. This highlights the versatility and potential of this plant family in medicine.

Combretum quadrangulare is a fascinating plant with a rich history and promising applications in modern science.
