ABSTRACT:
Numerous herbal plants play a crucial role in diverse traditional medicinal systems for treating various human diseases. One such plant, Lagenaria siceraria, has a rich history of utilization across different traditional medical systems. This plant contains a wide array of phytochemical constituents including triterpenoids, cucurbitacins, flavones, vitamin B, C-glycosides, beta glycosides, and a notable amount of ascorbic acid in its fruits. Notably, research has indicated that the fruit exhibits cardioprotective properties, while the leaves showcase antioxidant activity. The plant has been extensively studied for its pharmacological effects, encompassing antioxidant, cardioprotective, diuretic, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, lipid peroxidation, and anti-inflammatory activities. Although Lagenaria siceraria is cultivated on a limited scale in various regions of India, comprehensive information on its various aspects remains scarce. This review aims to address this gap by providing a consolidated overview of the plant's characteristics and potential medicinal properties.
