Abstract

Abstract: Woodfordia fruticosa (L.) Kurz, a member of the 'Lythraceae' family, has been used in traditional medicine to cure common diseases since ancient times. It is traditionally used to treat a variety of maladies such as the common cold, toothache, blood infection, leprosy, dysentery, wounds, rheumatic pain, fever, urinary issues, inflammation, antifertility, and menstrual problems. The huge potential and impacts of this plant have been thoroughly confirmed in in vitro and in vivo studies. The most current research on the plant Woodfordia fruticosa is critical for identifying the bioactive components responsible for its medicinal efficacy. Phytochemical studies reveal the existence of several chemicals extracted from various components of the plant, including glycosides, terpenes, flavonoids, tannins, sterols, phenolics, and essential oils. According to pharmacological studies, the plant has many medicinal properties, such as hypoglycemic, antioxidant, analgesic, hepatoprotective, antibacterial, gastric protective, and wound healing. Most of the pharmacological effects of raw extracts of this plant have been described. Only a few researchers have reported the activity of chemicals isolated from this plant. Therefore, this research will help to discover the many different medicinal properties of the plant as well as its pharmacological effects on various diseases and will show that further research is needed to explore its practical applications.

Woodfordia fruticosa (L. Kurz):其植物化学和药理活性的循证研究

摘要:木fordia fruticosa (L.)库尔茨属“赤藓科”，自古以来就被用于传统医学中治疗常见疾病。传统上，它被用于治疗各种疾病，如普通感冒、牙痛、血液感染、麻风病、痢疾、伤口、风湿痛、发烧、泌尿系统问题、炎症、抗生育和月经问题。这种植物的巨大潜力和影响已经在体外和体内的研究中得到了充分的证实。目前对木fordia fruticosa植物的研究对确定其药用功效的生物活性成分至关重要。植物化学研究揭示了从植物的不同成分中提取的几种化学物质的存在，包括糖苷、萜烯、类黄酮、单宁、甾醇、酚类物质和精油。药理研究表明，该植物具有降血糖、抗氧化、镇痛、保肝、抑菌、保胃、愈合伤口等多种药理作用。这种植物的原始提取物的大部分药理作用已被描述。只有少数研究人员报道了从这种植物中分离出的化学物质的活性。因此，这项研究将有助于发现该植物的许多不同的药用特性及其对各种疾病的药理作用，并将表明需要进一步研究以探索其实际应用。
