Phytochemical and Pharmacological Insights into Caesalpinia Bonducella: A Comprehensive Review
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The medicinal plant Caesalpinia bonducella L. is a member of the Caesalpiniaceae family. This prickly shrub is found all across the world, but it is particularly common in tropical areas of India, including Kerala, Sri Lanka and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. A plant is the mother of all medicines. The plant C. bonducella is found throughout India and grows well in warm tropical regions. Deep roots, a woody-hard stem, and compound, glossy, oval-shaped leaves that alternate on either side of the branch characterize this evergreen. Research on medicinal plants is becoming more popular worldwide as a result of the conviction that "green medicine" is less expensive and safer than manufactured drugs. There have been reports of characteristics that include antihelmintic, antiestrogenic, antimalarial, antispasmodic, Ca++ antagonistic, antiproliferative, antipsoriatic, antitumor, anxiolytic, larvicidal, immunomodulatory, antiamyloidogenic, antihyperlipidemic, antipyretic, analgesic, diuretic, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifilarial properties. Trace metal levels were found to be similar to those seen in regularly ingested legume seeds. The oil's high linoleic acid content indicated that it may be used to make paints, varnishes, cosmetics, liquid soaps, soaps, and other items, including biodiesel. We looked into how C. bonducella seed oil affected both acute and long-term ammation. Triterpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, and tannins have all been found in Caesalpinia bonducella seeds according to phytochemical study. In terms of Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) pharmacognostic characteristics, chemical ingredients, a synopsis of its many pharmacological effects, and traditional uses, this review aims to cover the body of existing material.
