ABSTRACT Barringtonia acutangula Linn. (Family-Barringtoniaceae) commonly known as Hinjal, is perhaps one of the useful traditional medicinal plant in India. It is used in various Ayurvedic formulations for the treatment of various diseases. Different Barringtonia species have found extensive use as traditional medicines and some species namely B. racemosa, B. asiatica, B. lanceolata and B. edulis, definitely demonstrate that might have potential medicinal properties. Each plant part of B. acutangula is having some ethnopharmacologic benefits. Various phytochemical bioactive constituents are present but not screened for their biological activities. The review may focus the extensive investigation of its bioactivity, mechanism of action and toxicological evaluation of those bioactive phytoconstituents.
