Abstract

Bryophyllum pinnatum, commonly known as the “patharchatta,” belongs to the family of “Crassulaceae.” Bryophyllum pinnatum is often used to treat gallbladder stones and heal wounds. It possesses a lot of pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-cancerous, antimicrobial, antiviral, etc. It is an aromatic plant having a sweet and sour smell and is used as a herb. In different plant species, essential oils present in the leaves and other parts give them their unique smell and fragrance. Many phytochemicals have been isolated from this plant, like alkaloids, triterpenes, cardenolides, flavonoids, and bufadienolides, as well as lipids, steroids, and glycosides from various extracts. Among them, only some compounds have medicinal properties. In this review, we have analyzed the ADME properties of the phytochemicals present in the plant to identify which chemical can act as a drug candidate using the SwissADME server.

Keywords: Bryophyllum pinnatum, medicinal plant, ADME analysis, therapeutic agents, bufadienolides, anti-cancerous.
