Abstract

The aim of this review was to provide an updated knowledge on the Phytochemistry and Pharmacognosy of Isolona hexaloba Engl. & Diels. A literature search was conducted to obtain information about the phytochemistry and pharmacognosy of Isolona hexaloba from various electronic databases (PubMed Central, PubMed, Science Direct and Google scholar). The scientific name of this plant species was used as a keyword for the search, along with the terms phytochemistry and pharmacognosy. The chemical structures of the Isolona hexaloba and Isolona genus naturally occurring compounds were drawn using ChemBioDraw Ultra 12.0 software package. The findings revealed that this plant is traditionally used as a purgative and in treating sores, smoke from the bark as a strained muscle relaxant, infectious and parasitic pathologies, loss of appetite, rheumatism, intestinal cramps, headache, back pains, sexual weakness. This plant is reported to possess various biological properties like antioxidant, antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic, antileishmanial and antimalarial. These properties are due to the presence of numerous naturally occurring phytochemicals like flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, reducting sugars, coumarins, terpenes and steroids. The present mini-review revealed that Isolona hexaloba Engl. & Diels is a good candidate for Tropical Plants Screening Research program for the development of lead compounds against genetic and parasitic diseases such as the evaluation of the anthelminthic activity.
