Abstract:
ABSTRACT Fagonia is a genus of wild,flowering plants in the family Zygophyllaceae having about 35 species including F.cretica, F.indica, F.arabica, F.laevis, F.californica, F.glutinosa, and F.scabra. These species have been used ethnobotanically by traditional practitioners under different healing regimes for many maladies with whole plant or its various parts.The genus got global attention due to the presence of novel chemical constituents, covering saponins, sapogenins, alkaloids, terpenoids, sterols, flavonoids, proteins, amino acids, coumarins, vitamins and trace elements. Researchers elaborately studied the chemical composition and recent studies found some compounds for first time counting lupeol, β-amyrin, octacosonic acid, methyl triacantanoate, luteolin and triacontanoic acid. Numerous studies are winding around the Fagonia genus and the findings of some studies inclusive the therapeutic properties such as anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-pyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, anti-tumor, anti-allergic, reno-protective, anti-diabetic and anti-bacterial. On the basis of references and well being point of view,species belong to Fagonia genus presents an excellent option for curing variety of ailments in human beings and it posses significant biological activities for developing a variety of new pharmaceutical products.
