Mangrove plants are specialised plants that grow in the tidal coasts of tropic and subtropic regions of the world. Their unique ecology and traditional medicinal uses of mangrove plants have attracted the attention of researchers over the years, and as a result, reports on biological activity of mangrove plants have increased significantly in recent years. This review has been set out to compile and appraise the results on antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activity of mangrove plants. While the Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, and PubMed were the starting points to gather information, other pieces of relevant published literature were also adequately explored for this purpose. A total of 29 reports on 17 plant species have been found to report such activities. While 19 reports were on the biological activity of the crude extracts, 10 reports identified the active compound(s) of various chemical classes of natural products including terpenes, steroids, and flavonoids. This review finds that antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activity appears to be widespread in mangrove plants.
红树林植物是生长在世界热带和亚热带地区潮汐海岸的特殊植物。多年来，它们独特的生态和传统药用价值吸引了研究人员的关注，因此近年来关于红树林植物生物活性的报道显著增加。本综述旨在汇编和评估红树林植物在抗伤害感受、抗炎和解热活性方面的研究结果。虽然知识网络、谷歌学术和PubMed是收集信息的起点，但也为此充分探索了其他相关的已发表文献。共发现17种植物的29篇报道涉及此类活性。其中19篇报道是关于粗提物的生物活性，10篇报道鉴定出了包括萜类、甾体和黄酮类等各类天然产物的活性化合物。本综述发现，抗伤害感受、抗炎和解热活性似乎在红树林植物中广泛存在。
