Abstract
The Ricinus communis is very valuable plant for the human beings. Ricinus communis also known as castor plant. It has high medicinal value as well as pharmacological value for disease cure activity as well as much more traditional value. In a Castor plant, oil seed with rich oil content shows its high phytochemical compound of monounsaturated fatty acid and bioactive compounds. The predominant triglyceride component in the oil is triricinolein. Minor biological compounds including carotenoid, tocopherol, tocotrienol, phytosterol, phospholipid, phytochemical, and phenolic compounds are present in castor oil. R. communis harbours phytochemicals which have been shown the many receptor activate like peroxisome proliferator activated receptor these are receptor are responsible for the transcription factors regulating the expression of genes., nuclear factor NF-k-B responsible for the a regulator of innate immunity, cytochrome P450 function is hemeprotein that plays a key role in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics, P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases kinase (p38 MAPK), tumor protein P53, B-cell lymphoma-extra-large (Bcl-xL) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2)These compounds offer oxidation stability, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties to the oil. Traditionally the plant is used as laxative, purgative, fertilizer and fungicide etc. whereas the plant possesses beneficial effects such as anti-oxidant, Antinociceptive, antiasthmatic, antiulcer, Antidiabetic, Antifertility etc medicinal properties. This activity show in plant possesses due to the Valuable phytochemical constituents like flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, alkaloids and steroids etc. The motive of this paper is to explain the details of phyto-pharmacological properties of R. communis for the future research work for the upcoming research scholar. Keywords: Ricinus communis, castor plant, antimicrobial and pharmacology.
