Tetracarpidium Conophorum (African Walnut): A Review ofPharmaceutical Evidence on Cardiac Toxicity

Abstract

Objectives: Tetracarpidium conophorum, also known as African walnut, is a versatile
climbing shrub with medicinal properties. In recent times, it has gained attention for its
potential health benefits. This fruit not only promotes overall well-being but also aligns
with certain lifestyle factors supported by scientific research. Its positive effects on heart
health have been well-documented.
Study Approach: A comprehensive review of relevant literature was conducted,
encompassing studies published from 2017 to 2023. The review specifically investigated
the influence of Tetracarpidium conophorum on the cardiovascular system, with a
particular emphasis on its potential implications for cardiac toxicity.
Findings: Four reports were identified as the most pertinent sources regarding the
pharmaceutical evidence of Tetracarpidium conophorum on the cardiovascular system.
These reports suggest that Tetracarpidium conophorum has a significant therapeutic effect
on cardiac toxicity.
Conclusion: Based on the four identified reports, it can be inferred that Tetracarpidium
conophorum has the potential to be a valuable ingredient in pharmaceuticals aimed at
mitigating cardiac toxicity.
