  • Abstract:
  • Murraya Koenigii is a multipurpose medicinal plant which belongs to the Rutaceae family. It is a small perennial plant or aromatic shrub that grows wild and is found almost in the lowlands and hill forests of Nepal, Bhutan, China, India, and Myanmar except in the higher parts of the Himalayas.[1] Murraya Koenigii commonly known as “Curry leaf Plant”, used in cooking and traditional medicines have been examined for their remarkable antioxidant potential.[2] The whole plant is a rich source of carbazole alkaloids and these alkaloids have been reported for their various pharmacological activities such as antiemetic, antidiarrhoeal, blood purifier and febrifuge. It is also been reported as antidiabetic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, antibacterial, cytotoxic and also in the treatment of various respiratory tract disorders. The literature survey reveals that limited work has been carried out on the chemical composition of Murraya koenigii seeds except for one report which prompted us to carry out the detailed chemical analysis of M. koenigii fruit and its seeds. This review encompasses a description of Murraya Koenigii, its phytochemical constituents, various pharmacological activities exhibited by isolated compounds, and the bioactivity observed in the extracts. Furthermore, the review highlights the potential of Murraya Koenigii to serve as an important nutraceutical for addressing application as a therapeutic agent.
