Abstract
Background: Clausena indica (Dalzell) Oliv. belongs to Rutaceae family and it is native to South and South-East Asia. The plant is used in the traditional medicine to treat malaria, rheumatism, bone fracture etc. Objective: In the present review, the previous reports on C. indica concerning its ethnobotanical uses, morphological description, eco-geographical features, phytochemistry and pharmacological effects are summarized Methods: Science-Direct, PubMed, Springer, Scopus and Google-Scholar were used to find potentially relevant literature. The collected literature was analyzed and potential titles were included for screening the abstracts and checking the full texts. After screening 90 potentially interesting articles and other related literature, a reference list of about 39 articles were selected. The reviews, dissertations and other literature without any original research were excluded. Conclusion: The present review describes the ethnomedicinal uses, reported phytochemical compounds isolated from the plant species and various pharmacological properties of C. indica. Ethnomedicinal studies indicated the use of C. indica for the treatment of various diseases. Pharmacological reports showed that C. indica exhibited significant antidiabetic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, free radical scavenging, anti-gout and anticancer effects. Detailed phytochemical studies and molecular gene expression studies are required to explain the exact mechanism of action of active phytocompounds.
期刊介绍:
Current Traditional Medicine covers all the aspects of the modernization and standardization research on traditional medicine of the world, e.g. chemistry, pharmacology, molecular mechanism, systems biology, proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, safety, quality control, clinical studies of traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, Unani, Arabic and other ethnomedicine. Each issue contains updated comprehensive in-depth/mini reviews along with high quality original experimental research articles. Current Traditional Medicine is a leading and important international peer-reviewed journal reflecting the current outstanding scientific research progresses of the global traditional, indigenous, folk and ethnologic medicine. It provides a bridge connected the tradition medicine system to the modern life science with the efforts of top scientists, as well as a resource to pursuit the solutions for the existing common issues in the traditional medicine.
