A Review on the Phytochemical Composition and Pharmacological Potential of Cissus quadrangularis L. | Chapter 02 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 9

 

The family Vitaceae consists of several species of plants that have many properties to cure many illnesses and disorders in mankind. Many plant extracts have been reported to have pharmacological uses in many therapies. Manufacturing and pricing of herbal pharmaceuticals can make them more favourable to be exploited in research and progress of new treatment approaches, permitting patients to connect to new medications which are faster and safer for relexification. This review reveals a species of Cissus named Cissus quadragularis L., about its medicinal and herbal uses and its utilisation in the medical field due to the presence of bioactive compounds such as tannin, alkaloid, and flavonoids, as it is used in the drug and cosmetic industry. This review explores the phytochemical composition and pharmacological potential of Cissus quadrangularis, focusing on its application in herbal formulations. The plant exhibits a diverse array of bioactive compounds, including triterpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenolic glycosides, found in various parts such as the stem, leaves, fruits, and roots. These phytochemicals contribute to its broad pharmacological activities, which include anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, antiobesity, anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, and bone-healing properties, and female health, as it is used to regulate menstruationduet. Although the review shows therapeutic and pharmacological properties and uses of Cissus quadrangularis as a medicinal herb. It was concluded that the root stem leaves, fruit extracts of the plant C. quadrangularis have therapeutic potential and are acknowledged to possess wound healing, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity and are regularly used to quicken the process of bone fracture healing. The plant is considered a versatile medicinal plant in both the Ayurvedic and modern drug development fields for its valuable therapeutic uses. C. quadrangularis needs to be appraised in scientific research using specific experiments on animal models and clinical trials to recognise the molecular mechanism of action, in the exploration of lead molecules from natural resources.
