Abstract

A REVIEW ON SYZYGIUM CUMINI

Komal Pharate*, Borkar Shubham, Kajal Holkar, Tushar Katariya

ABSTRACT

Syzygium cumini (S. cumini) (L.) Skeels (jambolan) is one of the widely used medicinal plants in the treatment of various diseases in particular diabetes. The present review has been primed to describe the existing data on the information on botany, phytochemical constituents, traditional uses and pharmacological actions of S. cumini (L.) Skeels (jambolan). The plant has been viewed as an antidiabetic plant since it became commercially available several decades ago. The phytochemicals like malieic acid, oxalic acid, gallic acid, tannins, cynidin glycoside, oleanolic acid, flavonoids, essential oils, betulinic acid, friedelin have been reported for significant, antianaemic, gingivititis, antidiarrhieal, antipyretic, antibacterial, antineoplastic, anti-inflammetry, hypoglycemic, gastro protective and hypolipidemic properties. The antimicrobial activity of Syzygium cumini leaves extract, known as "jambolao", was evaluated. The plant is rich in compounds containing anthocyanins, glucoside, ellagic acid, isoquercetin, kaemferol and myrecetin. The seeds are claimed to contain alkaloid, jambosine, and glycoside jambolin or antimellin, which halts the diastatic conversion of starch into sugar. The vast number of literatures found in the database revealed that the extracts of different parts of jambolan showed significant pharmacological actions. We suggest that there is a need for further investigation to isolate active principles which confer the pharmacological action. Hence identification of such active compounds is useful for producing safer drugs in the treatment of various ailments including diabetes.

Keywords: Syzygium cumini, Jambolan, Eugenia jambolana, Myrtaceae, Phytochemistry, Medicinal uses, Traditional uses.
