Abstract
Searsia pentaphylla, known as sumac or Tizgha, is a comestible plant used to treat dermatological, genitourinary, and digestive diseases. This shrub is known also for its coloring properties due to its high tannin content. The pharmacological studies realized on Searsia pentaphylla revealed promising antioxidant activity, antifungal activity, antibacterial activity, anti-Alzheimer's disease activity, and vasorelaxant and antihypertensive activities. Additionally, this plant is widely utilized in traditional medicine in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Palestine, Italy, and Saudi Arabia. Our bibliometric analysis realized on Searsia pentaphylla (1932–2023) showed that there aren't sufficient studies on this plant and more studies are needed to explore its benefits and its promising therapeutic potential.
