Polypharmacological Constituents and Potential Activities of Bergenia ciliata: A Concise Review Natural Product Chemistry
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bergenia ciliata is an evergreen perennial herb belonging to the family Saxifragaceae and has been employed in traditional medicine since long. When compared to pharmaceutical medication, traditional herbal medicine is seen as the lifeline and the first option. Due to Bergenia ciliata's wide range of biological activity, several traditional uses have been documented. Investigations into the discovery of its phytocompounds, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicinal use of Bergenia plants have been conducted in recent years. It is reported to be beneficial in breaking up bladder and kidney stones, it also aids in the removal of blockages and hazardous waste products from alimentary canal and urinary system. Additionally, it relieves pain in the ribs and chest brought on by too much cold humour and is a great emmenagogue and diuretic. It also exhibits hepato & nephro-protective, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and bio prospective qualities. Bergenia ciliata when subjected to a polypharmacological composition screening, identified the presence of tannins, steroids, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins. Bergenia ciliata has a potential use in pharmacology and medicine because of the presence of plethora of polyphenols. The purpose of this article is to compile and evaluate the existing data about the phytochemistry and potential activities of Bergenia ciliata.
