Qualitative and quantitative analyses on phytochemical composition and biological properties were performed to evaluate its potential as a bioactive ingredient in plant-based food applications and health-promoting beverages. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) models were used for antioxidant capacity. The bronchorelaxant activity of METM and its fractions was evaluated on an in vitro experimental model using isolated guinea pig trachea (n = 5) pre-contacted with histamine, while the action mechanism of EFTM was determined by using specific contracting reagents and antagonists. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated in murine models (n = 5), specifically using an acetic acid-induced nociception assay and paw inflammatory oedema induced by carrageenan, respectively. Potential toxicity of the extract was evaluated in mice (n = 6). Organic acids and phenolics, particularly quinic acid and quercetin, have been detected as the main compounds. METM showed antioxidant activity (SC50 = 7.52 \u00b1 0.26 \u00b5g\/mL and FRAP = 228.00 \u00b1 18.68 mmol FIE\/kg DW). METM exerted a concentration-dependent bronchorelaxant activity (EC50 = 562.85 \u00b1 38.00 \u00b5g\/mL) as well as EFTM (EC50 = 128.88 \u00b1 27.9 \u00b5g\/mL), the most active fraction, partially mediated through \u03b22-adrenergic pathways with additional non-competitive mechanisms. METM demonstrated dose-dependent anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, with no toxicity in mice. These findings may support the traditional uses of T. madagascariensis as a bioactive ingredient in herbal beverages and highlight its potential as a source of phytochemicals to be used as health-promoting agents against inflammatory and respiratory disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants15050681","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,25]],"date-time":"2026-02-25T08:50:27Z","timestamp":1772009427000},"page":"681","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring the Aerial Parts of Tetracera madagascariensis as Potential Health-Promoting Ingredient in Herbal Beverages: Phytochemical Insights, Pharmacological Evidence, and Multitarget Effects"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3647-684X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoarilala Rinah","family":"Razafindrakoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Malgache de Recherches Appliqu\u00e9es (IMRA), Fondation Albert et Suzanne Rakoto-Ratsimamanga, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2582-0892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nantenaina","family":"Tombozara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Malgache de Recherches Appliqu\u00e9es (IMRA), Fondation Albert et Suzanne Rakoto-Ratsimamanga, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Ramanitrahasimbola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Malgache de Recherches Appliqu\u00e9es (IMRA), Fondation Albert et Suzanne Rakoto-Ratsimamanga, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"},{"name":"Mention Pharmacie, Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine, Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Antananarivo, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nin\u00e0 Robertina","family":"Nalimanana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Malgache de Recherches Appliqu\u00e9es (IMRA), Fondation Albert et Suzanne Rakoto-Ratsimamanga, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edith Tolonjanahary","family":"Tatafasa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Malgache de Recherches Appliqu\u00e9es (IMRA), Fondation Albert et Suzanne Rakoto-Ratsimamanga, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fenitriniaina Judith Elyna","family":"Mahitasoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Malgache de Recherches Appliqu\u00e9es (IMRA), Fondation Albert et Suzanne Rakoto-Ratsimamanga, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dina Andriamahavola","family":"Rakotondramanana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mention Pharmacie, Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine, Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Antananarivo, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9621-2718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Gamba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Forestali e Alimentari, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Torino, 10095 Grugliasco, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4175-2404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele Loris","family":"Beccaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Forestali e Alimentari, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Torino, 10095 Grugliasco, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9104-2067","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dario","family":"Donno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Forestali e Alimentari, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Torino, 10095 Grugliasco, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Global Initiative for Asthma (2024).
