has been used since ancient times in traditional Eastern medicine. It is widely cultivated in numerous countries between the tropical and temperate climatic zones due to its high ecological plasticity and resilience to adverse weather. The different classes of chemical compounds contained in the plant are the reason for its medicinal properties. Research shows that every part of , the leaves, fruits and seeds, demonstrate therapeutic properties. This review focuses on the chemical composition in order to establish the relationship between the plant and its clinical use. Various biological effects are summarized and discussed: anticancer, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, gastrointestinal, etc. Apart from medicinal uses, the fruits of are edible and used in fresh and dried form. This literature review reveals possible medical applications of and its great potential for improving the diet of people in areas where the plant is abundant.
自古以来就在传统东方医学中使用。由于其具有高度的生态可塑性和对恶劣天气的适应能力，它在热带和温带气候区的众多国家广泛种植。植物中所含的不同种类的化合物是其具有药用特性的原因。研究表明，该植物的各个部分，即叶子、果实和种子，都具有治疗特性。本综述着重于化学成分，以确定该植物与其临床应用之间的关系。总结并讨论了各种生物学效应：抗癌、抗炎、免疫刺激、抗氧化、保肝、胃肠道等。除了药用用途外，该植物的果实可食用，可鲜食或制成干品。这篇文献综述揭示了该植物可能的医学应用及其在植物丰富地区改善人们饮食的巨大潜力。
