THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL AND BIOEVALUATION OF (CHRYSOPOGON ZIZANIOIDES): A NARRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides ) is a plant that has been utilized in various fields such as medicine, aroma, commerce, environmental protection, and agriculture, owing to its traditional significance and versatile properties. Vetiver has a diverse historical background in traditional medicinal practices; however, only a limited number of research articles have documented its efficacy in disease treatment. The objective of this review was to collate current data about the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and customary applications of Chrysopogon zizanioides (C. zizanioides). The primary objective of the manuscript is to integrate pertinent, genuine, and current information. Relevant articles were also extracted from online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. The findings of the compilation process indicate that the efficacy of vetiver's traditional uses has been confirmed through the testing of different extracts of this plant part against disease-based pharmacological models. Nevertheless, further comprehensive research is required to substantiate the extraction of bioactive compounds and elucidate their mode of operation. The process of extracting oil necessitates the implementation of distinctive and resilient methodologies, the advancement of which may expedite the identification of biologically advantageous utilities.
