Abstract

Abutilon indicum (Link) Sweet is a medicinal shrub belonging to the family Malvaceae; It has been extensively used as a traditional medicine to cure different diseases. It is considered invasive on certain tropical islands. The plant is very much used in Ayurveda & Siddha medicines in Tamilnadu. In fact, the bark, root, leaves, flowers and seeds are all used for medicinal purposes. The phytochemical analysis showed the Presence of alkaloid, saponins, amino acid, flavonoids, glycosides and steroids. Some important essential oil constituents like α-pinene, mucilage, tannins, caryophyllene, asparagines, caryophylleneoxide, endesmol, farnesol, borenol, geraniol, geranyl acetate, elemene and α-cineole have been reported from plant. Phytoconstituents like β‐Sitosterol, caffeic acid, fumaric acid, vanillin, p‐coumaricacid, p‐hydroxybenzoic acid, sesquiterpene including lactones, alantolactone and isoalanto‐lactone along with this hexoses, n-alkane mixtures (C_22-34), alkanol, gallic acid also been reported from different part of the plant. The present paper provides detailed review of literature on the phytochemical properties of A. indicum (Link) Sweet, which may be helpful to establish effective and useful natural drugs for further research.
