Abstract
Medicinal plants have curative properties due to the presence of various complex chemical substances of different compositions, which are found as secondary plant metabolites in one or more parts of these plants. Khaya senegalensis (Desr) A Juss is a popular medicinal plant among the Nupes and Yorubas in Nigeria. It belongs to the family Meliaceae (mahogany) and has been reported by several works for its usefulness in the treatment of various diseases. The plant has been studied for its various pharmacological activities like antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, anticancer, hypoglycemic, and antiparasitic properties. A scrutiny of the literature reveals some notable pharmacological activities of the plant. The phytochemistry and pharmacology of this plant necessitate a comprehensive review of its prospects as an important therapeutic agent for the management of numerous diseases commonly affecting humans. The present review provides a detailed report of the phytochemical, pharmacological, and toxicological properties carried out on this plant and also throws light on its therapeutic prospects
热带森林重要的多功能植物senegalensis (Desr) A Juss (Meliaceae)的植物药理和安全性报告
药用植物具有疗效是由于存在各种不同组成的复杂化学物质,这些化学物质是在这些植物的一个或多个部分中发现的次生植物代谢物。Khaya senegalensis (Desr) A Juss是尼日利亚努普人和约鲁巴人之间流行的药用植物。它属于桃花心木科(桃花心木),并已报道了几部作品,其在治疗各种疾病的有用性。人们研究了这种植物的各种药理活性,如抗氧化、抗菌、抗真菌、抗原虫、抗癌、降血糖和抗寄生虫等特性。对文献的仔细研究揭示了该植物的一些显著的药理活性。该植物的植物化学和药理学有必要对其作为治疗人类常见疾病的重要药物的前景进行全面的审查。本文对该植物的化学、药理和毒理学特性进行了详细的报道,并对其治疗前景进行了展望
