Abstract:
Background: Herbal medicines have been used in the health sector for the treatment of
human disorders from the ancient time till the modern age. Plant based herbal products have an important
place in medicine due to their health beneficial potential and pharmacological activities.
Traditional medicines have been used in developing country, such as India to the developed countries
such as the USA and Europe. Traditional medicines have been used in the health sectors for the
treatment of numerous types of human disorders. Phytoconstituents play an important role in the
growth, reproduction and development of the human being. Plant products have been used for the
treatment of skin disorders, wounds, and various forms of inflammatory diseases. Flavonoids are a
colorful component of fruits, seeds, vegetables, nuts and plants. Flavonoids have been used for the
treatment of human disorders due to their vast pharmacological activities.
Methods: Scientific information on eupatorin has been collected from different literature sources
and analyzed in order to know the health benefit of eupatorin in medicine. All the scientific information
presented here is collected from various databases such as Google, PubMed, and Science
Direct etc. Pharmacological activity data of eupatorin have been collected from various literature
databases and analyzed here to know the beneficial health potential of eupatorin in medicine. However,
important analytical tools for the separation, isolation and identification of eupatorin have also
been discussed in the present paper.
Results: Eupatorin (39,5-dihydroxy-49,6,7-trimethoxyflavone) is a flavone class flavonoidal compound
found to be present in the Orthosiphon stamineus, Salvia mirzayanii, Lantana montevidensis,
Lantana montevidensis and Tanacetum vulgare. Eupatorin have been used against bronchitis, stomach
disorders and various forms of cancer. Eupatorin have a potential role in various cancerous disorders,
such as human uterus carcinoma, human gastric adenocarcinoma, breast carcinoma, melanoma
and colon carcinoma. Pharmacological data analysis revealed the effectiveness of eupatorin in
human cancer and various types of inflammatory disorders. However, the effectiveness of eupatorin
against microorganism and enzymes were also presented in the present work with their herbicidal
and vasorelaxation potential in the medicine. Eupatorin has a valuable role in the development of
adjuvant chemotherapeutic agents.
Conclusion: Present review will be beneficial to the researcher to understand the physiological importance
of eupatorin in medicine for the development of newer and effective medicine.
