A Systematic short review on Clitoriaternatea: Pharmacological activities and Phytochemicals
Main Article Content
Abstract
Clitoria ternatea is a perennial herbaceous plant from the family Fabaceae. It has potential applications in modern medicine as well as agriculture. It is also used as a natural food colorant and antioxidant.
The present review contains information related to Clitoria ternatea phytochemicals and its pharmacological activity. This paper reviews plant distribution and phytoconstituents such as flavanols—kaempferol, kaempferol 3-glucoside, kaempferol 3-robinobioside-7-rhamnoside, quercetin, anthocyanins, etc.
It also includes the different pharmacological activities shown by Clitoria ternatea, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cathartic, and insecticidal properties.
