Abstract

A plant-based medical practices continue to play a major role in the healthcare system, providing primary healthcare to almost 80% of people globally. Approximately 25% of medications and several synthetic analogs derived from prototype molecules identified from medicinal plants are currently known to exist in the field of medical plant research. Within the Euphorbiaceae family, the genus Croton contains about 1,300 species that are widely distributed in tropical regions of both the Old and New Worlds. In Africa, Asia, and South America, the traditional usage of medicinal plants dates back many species. In traditional medicine, croton bonplandianum L. (Euphorbiaceae) is used extensively for a variety of conditions, including yellowing of the skin acute diarrhea, intestinal drops, vomiting, cutaneous injuries elevated cholesterol levels, hypertension, and infectious illnesses. The plant's parts are extensively utilized to treat a variety of diseases in traditional medicine, such as internal abscesses, acute constipation, abdominal dropsy, hepatoprotective, body swelling, hypertensive, antioxidant, wound healing, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, antidiabetic, anti-tumor, and anti-cancer. The plant is in high supply since traditional multiplication occurs at a slow pace. Numerous in vivo and in vitro investigations confirmed its traditional medical applications. For the purpose of this study, we collected comprehensive information on the taxonomy, publications, transport, shape, Studies on the pharmacological properties, phytochemistry, and traditional uses of the Crotonbonplandianum plant.

Keywords: Croton Bonplandianus, Phytochemical, bioactive compound, pharmacology, Anti-Oxidant Activity.
