Grewia (Malvaceae sensu lato): ethnomedicinal uses and future potential
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Knowledge of traditional uses of plants or plant based products among the folks or various communities around the world had been the primary key for many scientific exploration of drug discovery. The plants of pharmaceutical or medicinal importance are under pressure because of demand and over exploitation. The current review presents the potential of Grewia, a genera of family Malvaceae sensu lato as an alternative source for the commercialization of Grewia species based plant products for various purpose. Traditionally Grewia species were used for the treatment of many disease such as Malaria, Tuberculosis, Syphilis, Fever etc. Grewia species exhibited low cytotoxic properties. Ethnomedicinally, two species of Grewia i.e. G. asiatica and G. mollis had been used widely in African and Asian countries and exhibits future potential for commercialization
