L. belongs to the family of Anacardiaceae and is an important fruit from South and Southeast Asia. India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and the Philippines are among the top mango producer countries. Leaves of the mango plant have been studied for their health benefits, which are attributed to a plethora of phytochemicals such as mangiferin, followed by phenolic acids, benzophenones, and other antioxidants such as flavonoids, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, and tocopherols. The extracts from mango leaves (MLs) have been studied for their biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, lipid-lowering, hepato-protection, and anti-diarrheal. In the present review, we have elaborated on the nutritional and phytochemical profile of the MLs. Further, various bioactivities of the ML extracts are also critically discussed. Considering the phytochemical profile and beneficial effects of the MLs, they can be used as a potential ingredient for the development of functional foods and pharmaceutical drugs. However, more detailed clinical trials still needed to be conducted for establishing the actual efficacy of the ML extracts.
芒果属于漆树科，是南亚和东南亚的一种重要水果。印度、中国、泰国、印度尼西亚、巴基斯坦、墨西哥、巴西、孟加拉国、尼日利亚和菲律宾是主要的芒果生产国。芒果植株的叶子因其对健康有益而受到研究，这些益处归因于大量的植物化学物质，如芒果苷，其次是酚酸、二苯甲酮以及其他抗氧化剂，如类黄酮、抗坏血酸、类胡萝卜素和生育酚。芒果叶提取物的生物活性已得到研究，包括抗癌、抗糖尿病、抗氧化、抗菌、抗肥胖、降血脂、肝脏保护和止泻作用。在本综述中，我们阐述了芒果叶的营养和植物化学特征。此外，还对芒果叶提取物的各种生物活性进行了批判性讨论。考虑到芒果叶的植物化学特征和有益作用，它们可用作开发功能性食品和药物的潜在成分。然而，仍需要进行更详细的临床试验来确定芒果叶提取物的实际功效。
