Randomized trial evaluates analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in pulmonary fibrosis models, indicating therapeutic promise.

This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition and therapeutic effects of Acacia tortilis ssp. raddiana.
Evaluated the analgesic effects of hydroethanolic leaf extract (0.5–1 g/kg) in Swiss albino mice using nociception and inflammation models.
Assessed early therapeutic effects in a pulmonary fibrosis model induced by bleomycin.
Conducted phytochemical screening and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis for phenolic compounds.
Hydroethanolic leaf extract significantly reduced acetic acid–evoked writhing and carrageenan-mediated paw swelling (P<0.01).
Extract and gum reduced weight loss, oxidative damage, and collagen accumulation in bleomycin-induced lung injury.
Major phenolic constituent identified was rutin, comprising 24% of the leaf extract.

Diakité et al. (2026) studied this question.
