Abstract

Chronic non-communicable diseases are the primary cause of death globally, with infectious diseases following closely behind. Therefore, efforts are being made worldwide to combat and manage these diseases through the discovery of new treatments, including the exploration of natural products. Cecropia obtusifolia has gained attention due to its pharmacological properties, including hypotensive, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and antimalarial effects. These properties have been attributed to the secondary metabolites present, such as chlorogenic acid, isoorientin, and flavonolignans. The plant has demonstrated the ability to lower blood glucose and lipids, reduce blood pressure, and exhibit antiplasmodial activity. Therefore, this report comprehensively reviews the pharmacological effects and potential applications in treating various illnesses. It aims to serve as a reference for further research and the use of this compound as a therapeutic agent.
