Bioactivities of Merremia emarginata (Burm.f.) Hallier f. extracts and isolated compounds

Abstract

Merremia emarginata (Burm.f.) Hallier f. is a wild herb that belongs to the Convolvulaceae family. It is used to treat diabetes, epilepsy, rheumatism, kidney and liver disorders in various traditional medicines. Compounds including caffeic acid, rosmeric acid, scopoletin, tetritol, and vanillic acid have been isolated from various parts of this plant species. This comprehensive review work aims to analyze, summarize, and document the bioactivities related to published studies involving M. emarginata. PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, and Web of Science electronic databases were used to obtain the relevant published articles from 1900 to May 2021. There is in vivo and in vitro scientific evidence is currently available for various bioactivities. So far, there is scientific evidence available for analgesic, antiarthritic, antibacterial, anticancer, antidiabetic, antifungal, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, diuretic, antiurolithiatic, and nephroprotective activities and four bioactive compounds (cynarin, diacetyl, scopoletin, and tetritol) have been identified in this plant species. This work provides the basis for future researches involving this plant species.
