281 Views Reviews Article
The genus Caesalpinia belongs to the family Caesalpiniaceae and includes 280 species distributed in tropic and subtropical regions of the world. Historically, species of the genus Caesalpinia have been used to treat a wide range of ailments, such as malaria, ascariasis, dysentery, fever, rheumatism, and influenza. Phytochemical works led to the isolation of triterpenoids, diterpenes, flavonoids, steroids and phenolic compounds. Pharmacological studies have shown that the extracts and compounds isolated from this genus exhibited anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, antipyretic, anti-microbial, anti-rheumatic, antiulcer and anti-diabetic activities. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the genus Caesalpinia's ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry and pharmacology.
