        abstract = {The family Cucurbitaceae encompasses various crops such as cucumbers and melons, which hold significant medicinal value. Plants within this family, collectively referred to as cucurbits, are distinct with no close botanical relatives. They offer numerous medicinal and nutritional benefits, making it crucial to identify their active pharmacological agents. Key phytochemicals found in these plants include Glycosides, Terpenoids, Saponins, Tannins, Steroids, Carotenoids, and Resins. Notably, one of the most prominent substances among them is the terpenoid known as Cucurbitacins. These compounds contribute to the therapeutic properties observed in cucurbitaceous plants, highlighting their importance in both traditional and modern medicine.},
