A Review on Structural Elucidation and Pharmacological Effects of Compound Auraptene from Feronia Limonia

Chhavi Purwar

Abstract: Plant serve as vast source for many phytoconstituents which exhibit pharmacological effects. Identification of these types of potential plants is of significance in medicine. Therefore it is necessary to study the pharmacognostic characteristic of the plant before using in the field of research and pharmaceutical formulation. Feronia limonia plant is well known for its medicinal properties. The extracts and pure compounds derived from all parts of this plant show a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities, including hepatoprotective, snake bite, anti-tumour, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-malarial and other activities. Auraptene has been isolated from root and fruit of this plant. The main objective to study the chemical structure of isolated plant constituent auraptene is that it may be responsible for their pharmacological activity.
