Abstract
Genus Vitex is largely used throughout the world (Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Lesotho, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa) for various care such as: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hepatocuractive, intestinal troubles. Among the plurality of known Vitex, the most exploited in Burkina Faso are Vitex diversifolia Bak and Vitex doniana Sweet. Then, the aim of this study is to summarize traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of 2 local species of Vitex. The results of this study show that the species of this genus are rich in polyphenolic compounds, minerals and vitamins. These founding can justify the many uses in traditional medicine.
