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.
