A deep dive into the phytochemical composition of Murraya koenigii (curry leaf): Active compounds and their therapeutic implications

Öz

Murraya koenigii, commonly known as curry leaf, is native to South Asia and is renowned for its flavor and fragrance in a variety of dishes. Herbal medicines have been used for centuries to treat various illnesses due to their affordability and minimal side effects. In traditional ayurvedic medicine, curry leaf plays a major role. This small deciduous shrub has all the makings of a future industrial product, including nutritional and therapeutic qualities. Research indicates that Murraya koenigii has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiprotozoal activities, particularly in its leaves, stems, bark, and oil. The plant’s essential oil and extracts have antifungal and antibacterial potentials. Curry leaf may exhibit anticancer effects, potentially attributed to their potent antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress, a known factor in cancer progression. The plant has the potential to be nutritious since it contains fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and proteins. The whole plant is utilised for its stomachic and tonic qualities. The current study aims to evaluate the global categorisation, origin, morphological characteristics, and traditional uses of curry leaf.
