| Summary: | In this review article, the general importance of mangrove plants including the direct
and indirect uses was presented. Attemptswere made to create awareness as well as
emphasize the potentiality of mangrove plants especially for th
benefits. Specific emphasis was laid on the Rhizophora species.An updated report on
the conventional extraction methods of the chemical constituents from this plant species
is presented herein.Also, biological activities of the minor and m
extracted from Rhizophora plants are discussed. Furthermore, an updated report was
made on the chemical groups present in Rhizophora plants with direct emphasis on the
four commonly investigated species which are R. apiculata, R. mangle, R.
mucronata,and R. stylosa. Structures of some extracted compounds obtained from
Rhizophora plants are also illustrated. In effect, Rhizophora species have been
presented here as a viable alternative source of many biological and chemically active
compounds which are already known to be of great economic and pharmaceutical
importance.Moreover, efforts were made to expose the potential of Rhizophora plants
as possible sources of many yet unknown chemical compounds which could provide
great beneficial activities. |
