异叶美登木（Maytenus heterophylla，Eckl.和Zeyh）。NKB罗布森和塞内加尔美登木（Lam.）Exell是两种非洲灌木或树木，共同名称为穗刺，属于卫矛科。本种的不同植物部分主要用于传统医学中用于感染性和炎症性疾病的治疗。对这两个物种进行了几项研究，但最近没有针对显微镜、植物化学和药理学研究的综述文章。本文就这两种非洲传统药物的研究进展作一综述。这类数据可以应用于未来的实验工作，并可能指导未来的研究，即在传统医学的验证领域。
Maytenus heterophylla (Eckl. and Zeyh.) N.K.B. Robson and Maytenus senegalensis (Lam.) Exell are two African shrubs or trees that go under the common name of spike thorn, which belong to the Celastraceae family. Different plant parts of this species are largely used in traditional medicine for infectious and inflammatory diseases treatment. Several studies have been reported for both these species, but there are no recent review articles focusing microscopic, phytochemistry and pharmacological studies. The aim of this review is to summarize the information about these two African traditional medicines. Such kind of data can be applied in future experimental work and may guide future studies, namely in the field of validation of traditional medicine.
