Abstract

ABSTRACT
Buchanania lanzan Spreng, a dry deciduous forest tree of family Anacardiaceae is widely used by Indian tribes for treating various diseases. Three
major chemical constituents of potent medicinal value, namely celidoniol, vomicine, epinitol have been characterized from an organic extract of
leaves. Such extracts mainly exhibit antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antidiarrheal, antivenom activity
including a host of other curative properties. Very recently, unique biomaterials and biofilms are being extracted from seeds, which promise to become
a major contributor in pharmaceutical industry. This review attempts to present thorough updated account of ongoing and emerging areas of research
of this plant, especially in the field of phytomedicnes and pharmaceuticals.
Keywords: Buchanania lanzan, Phytochemicals, Curative properties, Phytomedicine.
