Biological Activities of Extracts of Gmelina asiatica L.
Öz
Gmelina asiatica L. is a shrub that belongs to the Lamiaceae family. In various traditional medicines, this plant species is employed to cure several disorders like rheumatism, gonorrhea, catarrh of the bladder, edema, and malaria. Furthermore, phytochemicals including cleomeolide; cleomiscosin D; kaempferide-3-glucuronide; nitidine; ovalifolin; and stigmasta-5, 24(28)-diene-3-O-rhamnoside were detected from different parts of G. asiatica. This paper aims to evaluate, summarize, and document the published biological activities related to investigations of G. asiatica. SpringerLink, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis Online, Wiley Online Library, Sage journals, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Publishers, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were used to identify the relevant published articles from 1900 to August 2021. Up to now, only in vivo and in vitro scientific evidence are present for various bioactivities. In addition, anti-anxiety, antibacterial, anticancer, antidandruff, antidiabetic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, hepatoprotective, and nephroprotective activities were detected for various parts of this plant. This article will be advantageous to carry out support further biological activity investigations of this plant in the future.
