Nerium oleander L.: Phytochemical and pharmacological profile
Keywords:
N.oleander, Phytoconstituents, Pharmacological activity, ToxicityAbstract
Nerium oleander linn. (Apocynaceae) is a beautiful flowering shrub bearing white and crimson flowers especially suited to dry and sunny locations. The plant is commonly called kaner. In view of its therapeutic activities, different parts of the plant have been subjected to chemical studies by various groups of workers, and several cardiac glycosides, pregnane derivatives and polysaccharides have been isolated. N.oleander is a good cardioprotective, anticancer, antidiabetic and antifungal agent. The present review summarizes traditional uses, pharmacological properties of extracts and phytoconstituents of N.oleander.
