Pharmacognostical, phytochemical and phytopharmacological activities of Solanum torvum utilized as a traditional medicinal herb: A review (original) (raw)

Abstract

Turkey berry, also known as Solanum torvum Swartz, is native to Africa, Asia and South America. This tropical plant of the fami-ly Solanaceae has versatile uses in both food and medicine in tropical and subtropical countries. It has been employed in tradi-tional medicine all over the world. Chemical composition of this fruit, its pharmacological properties as ascertained through sci-entific investigations and its clinical applications are discussed. S. torvum contains numerous important metabolites such as saponins steroids and flavonoids, which function as antioxidants, antifungal, antidiabetic, anticancer, antiulcer, antianxiety and immunomodulators. Various notable roles in ethnomedicinal uses and approaches as a traditional medicinal herb. These have been found in large amounts and have various functions, including antioxidant properties against cardiovascular diseases and immune-modulating activities. Notably leaves extracts, fruits etc. have beneficial therapeutic traits. For a long time now, “Solanum torvum” has been used to treat numerous conditions such as fever, wounds, etc. Research backs up these traditional uses by pointing out the plant’s blood pressure management, kidney protection nature, and immune-boosting capabilities. The review summarizes the importance of ethnobotany, its chemical composition, and the scientifically proven pharmacological ac-tivities of S. torvum.
