  • Abstract:
  • Ipomoea carnea, commonly known as pink morning glory, is a rapidly growing shrub widely distributed across tropical and subtropical regions. It has garnered attention due to its diverse phytochemical profile, traditional medicinal applications, and ecological significance. The plant is rich in bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins, which contribute to its reported antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. In addition to its medicinal potential, I. carnea plays a role in environmental management through phytoremediation and soil stabilization. However, its toxic components-particularly the alkaloid swainsonine-pose serious health risks to livestock and raise concerns about its safe use. Moreover, its invasive nature in non-native habitats highlights the need for careful ecological monitoring. This review explores the botany, phytochemistry, pharmacological potential, toxicology, and environmental impact of Ipomoea carnea, emphasizing the need for further studies to balance its benefits and risks.
