Abstract

Acacia plants are evergreen, perennial, short, flat-crowned to long and straight-bole trees. A total of 34 species of Acacia genus are distributed in different states of India. Acacia plants are used in the treatment of chronic dysentery, diarrhoea, throat troubles, conjunctivitis and stomatitis. The critical data of ethnopharmacological properties, phytochemical and pharmacological attributes of 27 species were obtained through extensive review of relevant reference books, M. Sc./M. Tech dissertations, PhD theses, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Wiley, Taylors & Francis, Bentham, Thieme, Springer, and eFloras. The flavone glycosides, flavonoids, lignans, anthraquinones, monoterpenes, and alkaloids have been identified from 20 species of Indian Acacia species. Indian Acacia species possess antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antiarthritic, antistress, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and wound healing properties. However, various reports are available in literature on phytochemistry and biological properties of 27 Indian Acacia species but, still 7 species have not been evaluated for their pharmacological studies. The review discusses updated knowledge of ethnopharmacological applications, phytochemical and pharmacological attributes, and pharmacokinetic profiles of Indian Acacia species.

期刊介绍： Current Research in Biotechnology (CRBIOT) is a new primary research, gold open access journal from Elsevier. CRBIOT publishes original papers, reviews, and short communications (including viewpoints and perspectives) resulting from research in biotechnology and biotech-associated disciplines. Current Research in Biotechnology is a peer-reviewed gold open access (OA) journal and upon acceptance all articles are permanently and freely available. It is a companion to the highly regarded review journal Current Opinion in Biotechnology (2018 CiteScore 8.450) and is part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists' workflow.
