Abstract

Lannea coromandelica is extensively employed as a medicinal herb across the globe. This research work focuses primarily on the phytochemistry, pharmaceutics, and bio-exertion of L. coromandelica. In ethnomedicine, several members of this species function as astringents, aiding in anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic and are helpful in other physiological functions. In addition, Lannea species’ therapeutic benefits were acknowledged in numerous scientific investigations. The conclusions derived from the current study corroborate that the therapeutic activities of L. coromandelica can be linked to the presence of a broad spectrum of secondary metabolites and bioactive phytocompounds such as phenols, flavonoids, tannins, and proteins, according to the current study. This review highlights phyto-assembly and phyto-activities such as a diuretic, cardiovascular, and bioactivities such as antiepileptic, antimicrobial, and anti-convulsant, and pharmaceutical activities such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-asthmatic properties.
