Abstract

Introduction: The present article is a comprehensive review of Gardenia gummifera, a well-known traditional Indian medicinal plant with various benefits. This tree is a type of deciduous plant that falls under the Rubiaceae family. This family is one of the largest groups of flowering plants, making it the fourth-largest in the world. Additionally, this tree has been used for both medicinal and culinary purposes, in addition to its medicinal significance. This review also brings a new perspective in all aspects and emphasises the importance of these species. Methodology: For the most part, electronic data sets were utilised as the essential hotspots for screening related articles and applying related search terms. Results: To date, G. gummifera have no or little attention and few phytochemical and pharmacological studies. Previous phytochemical investigations have confirmed an array of chemical compounds, including the dikamaliartanes A–F, eight new cycloartane triterpenes 1, 6, 8 and 10. Two well-known triterpenes (cycloartenone and 25-hydroxycycloart-23-en-3-one) and three other substances. Conclusion: The literature available to date on G. gummifera confirms the basis for some of the traditional uses and its remarkable pharmacological effects. The G. gummifera has proven to be a good source of triterpenes, especially dikamaliartanes. However, the uses of G. gummifera to treat various diseases need different pharmacological studies before applying or starting clinical trials. © 2023 Elsevier GmbH
