is locally known as or in Hindi, milk weed in English and belongs to the family Apocynaceae and subfamily Asclepiadoideae. Although a wasteland plant, it is of sacred use as its flowers are offered for worshipping Lord Shiva, a Hindu God. Tribes all over the world use the plant in treatment of various diseases like snake bite, body pain, asthma, epilepsy, cancer, sexual disorders, skin diseases and many more. This plant contains various phytoconstituents such as flavonoids, terpenoids, cardenolides, steroids oxypregnanes Though literature searches reveal many reviews about ethnomedicinal uses, chemical composition and pharmacological activities, no recent papers are available that provide an overview of the therapeutic potential and toxicity of . Hence, the insight of this review is to provide a systemic summary of phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology and therapeutic potential of and to highlight the gaps in the knowledge so as to offer inspiration for future research.
在当地的印地语中被称为 或 ，英文名为马利筋，属于夹竹桃科萝摩亚科。尽管它是一种生长在荒地上的植物，但因其花朵被用于供奉印度教神灵湿婆神，所以具有神圣的用途。世界各地的部落都使用这种植物来治疗各种疾病，如蛇咬伤、身体疼痛、哮喘、癫痫、癌症、性功能障碍、皮肤病等等。这种植物含有多种植物成分，如黄酮类化合物、萜类化合物、强心苷、甾体孕烷 尽管文献检索显示有许多关于民族药用、化学成分和药理活性的综述，但没有近期的论文对 的治疗潜力和毒性进行概述。因此，本综述的目的是提供关于 的植物化学、药理学、毒理学和治疗潜力的系统总结，并突出知识空白，以便为未来的研究提供灵感。
