  • Abstract:
  • Neolamarckia cadamba, widely known as Kadamba or the burflower tree, is a tropical evergreen species b Department of analysis, Sri Vasavi institute of pharmaceutical sciences, pedatadepalli, Tadepalligudem, Andhra Pradesh elonging to the Rubiaceae family. The plant possesses significant ecological, medicinal, and pharmacological properties. It improves soil quality by increasing organic carbon and nutrient availability through leaf litter decomposition. Morphologically, the plant is characterized by a dark brown bark, leathery leaves, and yellow-orange spherical flowers. The mesophyll region shows distinct palisade and spongy layers with collateral vascular bundles. Phytochemical investigations reveal the presence of indole alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, steroids, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, and essential oils. Various plant parts—bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, roots, and stems—demonstrate pharmacological activities including antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, hepato protective, and immune modulatory effects. These activities have been validated through in vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies. Overall, Neolamarckia cadamba is an important medicinal plant offering broad therapeutic potential and ecological benefits.
