| Abstract | ||
| Herbal medicine has become more popular in recent years. As a result, an effort is being made to document valuable phyto-constituents and pharmacological knowledge as part of the revitalization of herbal remedies. There are still several plants of certain families that haven't been researched. This is the situation with Malpighiaceae; a flowering plant family rich in secondary metabolites including alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrate like substance as vitamin C, proanthocyanidins and phenolic compounds, with promising therapeutic effects as anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-depressant, anti-HIV, and anti-microbial activities. The goal of this review is to offer an overview of the chemistry of plants belonging to Malpighiaceae, with a focus on their potential biological impact in recent years. | ||
