| Summary: | Ethnomedicinal plant is one of the important sources for drug discovery. Syzygium polyanthum
(Wight) Walp is one of the ethnomedicinal plants that is currently gaining attention for its
various pharmacological potentials. This review evaluates its traditional uses, chemical profiles,
toxicological aspects, nutritional values, as well as its pharmacological properties. From our
literature search in Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, it was found that
S. polyanthum has valuable therapeutic potentials including antidiabetic, antihypertensive,
antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, antitumor, antidiarrheal, acetylcholinesterase inhibitory,
and dental plaque inhibition properties. However, few research areas, especially its toxicological
profiles, mechanism of actions, as well as identification of its bioactive compound, require
more in-depth studies. |
