The chemical investigation of the methanol extract of the roots of (Oliv.) Gilg. exhibited a new 30-norfriedelane triterpenoid, laphocarpanol (), together with seven known compounds, caloncobalactone (), friedelin (), friedelanol ), asperphernamate (), stigmasterol (), sitosterol () and sitosterol-3---D-glucopyranoside (). The structures of the compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses (1D and 2D NMR, ESI-MS) and by comparison with previously reported data. All the compounds were tested for their antifungal and antibacterial activities. Compound displayed weak antibacterial effect with MIC value of 62.5 μg/mL against . All the isolates were found to be inactive against the tested fungal strains.

Globally, the use of ethnoveterinary medicine as remedies for animal health among different ethnic groups justify the need for a systematic exploration to enhance their potential. In addition, the increasing popularity and utilisation of woody plants remain common in traditional medicine, which may be attributed to their inherent benefits. The current review was aimed at analysing ethnoveterinary surveys, biological activities, and secondary metabolites/phytochemical profiles of the woody plants of South Africa.

Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the trunk bark of (Oliv.) Gilg (Achariaceae) led to the isolation of four new compounds, including three new 30-norfriedelane triterpenes, welwitschiilactones D-F (-), one new friedelane triterpene, welwitschioic acid () as well as ten known compounds: stigmastane-3,6-dione (7), a mixture of -sitosterol and stigmasterol ( and ), a mixture of -sitosterol and stigmasterol glucoside ( and ), (2,3,4,5)--(1,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyndecan-2-yl)tetradecanamide (), 1---glucopyranosyl-(2,3,8)-2-[(2')-2-hydroxylpalmitoylamino]-8-octadecene-1,3-diol (12), 3,21-dihydroxy-27-oxo-30-nor-(D:A)-friedo-olean-20(29))en-27,19α-lactone (), 21hydroxy-3,27-dioxo-30-nor-(D:A)-friedo-olean-20(29)-en-27,19α-lactone () and 2,21-dihydroxy-27-oxo-30-nor-(D:A)-friedo-olean-20(29)-en-27,19-lactone ().

Article Synopsis
- Mutomo Hill Plant Sanctuary is a 10-hectare botanical garden in Kenya, established in 1964 to conserve native plants and combat environmental degradation.
- An ethnobotanical survey was conducted involving 48 herbalists to document medicinal plants, identifying 68 species from 28 families, with Leguminosae, Lamiaceae, and Euphorbiaceae being the most common.
- The study highlights traditional knowledge about medicinal plants used for treating diseases, particularly infectious and digestive issues, emphasizing the cultural heritage of the Kamba people and potential applications in drug development.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Traditional medicines play an important role in the management of chronically painful and debilitating joint conditions, particularly in the rural Africa. However, their potential use as sources of medicines has not been fully exploited. The present study was carried to find the medicinal plants traditionally used to manage chronic joint pains in Machakos and Makueni counties in Kenya.
