ABSTRACT:
Herbal medicine is becoming more popular in both developing and developed countries due to its natural origins and lack of side effects. Medicinal plants are a valuable and inexpensive source of unique phytochemicals, which are frequently used in the development of drugs to treat a variety of diseases. The goal of the current review is to highlight the numerous ethnobotanical and traditional uses as well as the latest pharmacological and phytochemical investigations on Mimusops elengi, also known as Spanish cherry and Bakul and a member of the Sapotaceae family. It is a huge ornamental evergreen tree that is grown in gardens in India primarily for the benefit of its fragrant blossoms. The bark, fruit, and seeds of Mimusops elengi have been used in traditional Indian medicine (ayurveda) and other folk medicine systems for their astringent, tonic, and febrifuge effects. Chemical analyses have revealed that the following substances are found in bark: tannin, some caoutchoue, wax, starch, and ash; flowering plants have volatile oils; and seeds contain fixed fatty oils. Preclinical research has revealed that Mimusops elengi or some of its phytochemicals have analgesic, antibiotic, antihyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antipyretic, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial properties.
