Abstract | ||
Halophytes have attracted the attention of the world recently. The world has become interested in wild plants, which are considered one of the finest and most significant therapeutic botanicals rich in phytochemical constituents and biological activities. This research clarifies the natural products in this halophyte and its therapeutic value for different species of Limoniastrum. The natural compounds found in Limoniastrum species, such as phenolic, phenolic sulfates, lignans, tannins, saponins, traces of alkaloids, and steroid compounds, have therapeutic effects as anti-cancer, anti-microbial, antioxidants, and anti-diabetic. This research aimed to overview the phytochemical and biological activities of Limoniastrum Family Plumbaginaceae in recent years. | ||
