Pharmacological properties of extracts of Alysicarpus vaginalis (L.) DC.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review was aimed to analyze, summarize, and document the pharmacological properties of published studies linked to A. vaginalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective study, Electronic records (PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science) were utilized to recognize the appropriate existing published articles from 1900 to July 2021. RESULTS: Until now, in vivo and in vitro scientific evidence exists for the pharmacological properties of this plant species. Antibacterial, anticancer, antifungal, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties of various parts of A. vaginalis have been detected. Remarkably, no pharmacological active compound has been isolated and there is no scientific evidence available for any of the traditional medicinal use of this plant species. CONCLUSION: This work analyzed, summarized, and documented the reported pharmacological properties of A. vaginalis.
