A Review on Cucurbitaceae
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2022, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Plants are basic source of food and energy cucurbitaceous family possess antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal characteristics and showed activities like antioxidant, phytochemical and hypoglycaemic activity. Cucurbitacins which are structurally diverse triterpenes found in the members of Cucurbitaceae and several other plant families possess immense pharmacological potential. The diverse phytoconstituent may prove to be important lead molecules for future research. This review is aimed to provide an insight into the chemical nature and medicinal potential of these compounds.
