Botany, Botany, Medicinal Applications, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacological Characteristics of Albizia Adianthifolia
Abstract
In tropical Africa, the bark, leaves, and roots of Albizia adianthifolia are highly prized for their use as herbal remedies. In order to offer baseline data needed for assessing the species' therapeutic potential, the purpose of this study was to analyze the botany, medicinal applications, phytochemistry, and pharmacological characteristics of A. adianthifolia. Databases including ScienceDirect, SciFinder, Pubmed, Google Scholar, Medline, SCOPUS, EThOS, ProQuest, OATD, and Open-thesis were used to gather data on the botanical profile, medicinal applications, phytochemistry, and pharmacological characteristics of A. adianthifolia. The University library conducted a preelectronic literature search of books, dissertations, theses, scientific articles, conference papers, and book chapters. According to a literature search, A. adianthifolia is used as a herbal remedy and purgative for diabetes, eye, gastrointestinal, hemorrhoidal, headache, neurodegenerative, female reproductive, respiratory, wound, and pain conditions, skin diseases, STDs, and ethnoveterinary medicine. Apocarotenoids, chalcone, dipeptide, elliptosides, essential oils, fatty acids, flavonoids, histamine, imidazolyl carboxylic acid, prosapogenins, steroids, triterpene saponins, and triterpenoids are among the phytochemical components found in the species. Acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitory, anthelmintic, antiamoebic, antibacterial, antimycobacterial, anti-sexually transmitted infection, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anxiolytic, and antidepressant, as well as cognitive-enhancing, hemolytic, hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic, immunomodulatory, and cytotoxic properties, were found in pharmacological investigations of A. adianthifolia extracts and compounds. It is necessary to conduct thorough investigations into the pharmacokinetics, in vivo, and clinical trials of chemicals that have been identified from A. adianthifolia and its extracts.
