Millettia属属于豆科,包括200种,分布在世界热带和亚热带地区。属于这个属的植物被用作民俗医学,用于治疗不同的疾病,如伤口愈合,沸腾,疮,皮肤病,蛇咬,肌肉疼痛,痛苦,风湿性关节炎,和妇科疾病。审查的目的是提供最新的,关于民族植物学方面的全面和分类信息,植物化学,Millettia属的药理用途和毒性,以确定其治疗潜力并为未来的研究机会创造空间。本研究包括分离的黄酮类化合物,酚类化合物,植物甾醇,皂苷,生物碱,多糖,萜类化合物和树脂以及各种Millettia物种的药理活性。在不同的科学数据库中使用关键字“Millettia”搜索相关数据,\"GoogleScholar\";\"NISCAIR存储库\";\"PubMed\";\"ScienceDirect\";\"Scopus\",分类法由\"植物列表\"验证。这篇综述讨论了传统评估的现有信息以及“Millettia”属提取物和活性成分的植物化学和药理评估。这篇评论证实,几种Milletia物种已成为传统关节炎系统中的高质量药物,伤口愈合,炎症,皮肤病。现代药理学研究已经验证了Milletia物种的许多常规用途。与植物化学和药理学有关的Milletia属的深入研究,特别是它们的作用机制,安全,和功效可能是植物医学领域研究人员未来的研究兴趣。
The genus Millettia belongs to Fabaceae includes 200 species which are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Plants belong to this genus are used as folkloric medicine, for the treatment of different ailments like in wound healing, boil, sores, skin diseases, snake bite, muscle aches, pains, rheumatic arthritis, and gynaecological diseases. The aim of the review is to provide updated, comprehensive and categorized information on the aspects of ethnobotanical, phytochemical, pharmacological uses and toxicity of genus Millettia in order to identify their therapeutic potential and generate space for future research opportunities. The present study comprises of isolated flavonoids, phenolic compounds, phytosterols, saponins, alkaloids, polysaccharides, terpenoids and resins and pharmacological activities of various Millettia species. The relevant data were searched by using the keyword \"Millettia\" in different scientific databases like, \"Google Scholar\"; \"NISCAIR repository\"; \"Pub Med\"; \"Science Direct\"; \"Scopus\" and the taxonomy is validated by \"The Plant List\". This review discusses the existing information of the traditional evaluation as well as phytochemical and pharmacological evaluation of the extract and active constituents of the genus \"Millettia\". This review confirms that several Millettia species have emerged as a high-quality medicine in a traditional system for arthritis, wound healing, inflammation, skin diseases. Numerous conventional uses of Millettia species have been validated by modern pharmacology research. Intensive investigations of the genus Millettia relating to phytochemistry and pharmacology, especially their mechanism of action, safety, and efficacy could be the future research interests by the researcher in the area of phytomedicine.
