A number of species of genus Grewia have been used as medicinal agents to treat several diseases. This review based on 45 literary sources discusses the current knowledge of traditional uses, chemistry, biological effects, and toxicity of different species of this genus. Triterpenoids, steroids, glycosides, flavones, lignans, phenolics, alkaloids, lactones, anthocyanins, flavones, and organic acids have been isolated from various species of this genus. The extracts and preparations from the various plants, which are expectantly safe, exhibited various biological effects, e.g. anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, anti-malarial, analgesic, and anti-pyretic activities.
扁担杆属的一些物种已被用作治疗多种疾病的药物。这篇基于45篇文献来源的综述讨论了该属不同物种的传统用途、化学、生物学效应和毒性的现有知识。已从该属的各种物种中分离出三萜类化合物、甾体、糖苷、黄酮、木脂素、酚类、生物碱、内酯、花青素、黄酮和有机酸。来自各种植物的提取物和制剂预期是安全的，并表现出多种生物学效应，例如抗氧化、抗菌、保肝、抗炎、止吐、抗疟疾、镇痛和解热活性。
