Boerhavia diffusa (BD) is a plant of rasayana category as per ayurvedic claims. It is reported to possess antiaging, disease prevention, and life strengthening activities which hold enormous influence in disease burden and affordability/availability of healthcare in the world. Objective. This paper has been compiled to comment on the studies reported for BD to highlight its chemical and therapeutic potential along with its ethnopharmacological considerations.
In the present paper, a detailed account of chemical constituents and pharmacological activities has been presented. All the findings were correlated with modern pharmacological activities to appraise the value of BD.
Chemical analysis of BD gives a wide variety of chemical constituents, namely, rotenoids, flavonoids, xanthones, purine nucleoside, lignans, and steroids. Various ethnopharmacological reports emphasize its role in disorders of reproductive system, gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, urinary system, hepatic system/jaundice, cardiovascular system, and cancer.
The studies on the therapeutic activities of BD range from studies on crude extracts to isolated compounds; however some of the studies require sophistication and validated results. BD is a plant of enormous importance in the purview of its chemical and therapeutic properties.
根据阿育吠陀医学的说法，白花蛇舌草是一种具有rasayana特性的植物。据报道，它具有抗衰老、疾病预防和增强生命力的作用，这对全球疾病负担以及医疗保健的可负担性/可及性具有巨大影响。目的。撰写本文是为了对有关白花蛇舌草的研究进行评论，以突出其化学和治疗潜力以及民族药理学方面的考量。
在本文中，详细阐述了其化学成分和药理活性。所有研究结果都与现代药理活性相关联，以评估白花蛇舌草的价值。
白花蛇舌草的化学分析表明其含有多种化学成分，即鱼藤酮类、黄酮类、呫吨酮类、嘌呤核苷、木脂素和甾体类。各种民族药理学报告强调了它在生殖系统、胃肠道系统、呼吸系统、泌尿系统、肝脏系统/黄疸、心血管系统和癌症等疾病中的作用。
关于白花蛇舌草治疗活性的研究涵盖了从粗提取物到分离化合物的研究；然而，其中一些研究需要完善并获得经过验证的结果。从其化学和治疗特性来看，白花蛇舌草是一种极为重要的植物。
