Abstract
Baccaurea ramiflora Lour. syn. Baccaurea sapida (Roxb.) Muell. Arg. widely known as Burmese grape is native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves, fruits, stem, bark, seeds forms an ingredient in many herbal prescriptions which have been used to treat jaundice, constipation, indigestion, cellulitis, as antidote for sanke venome, antiphlogistic and anodyne against rheumatoid arthritis etc. In the recent years, this plant has been largely explored on scientific grounds to identify the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities. The present review work is an effort to revisit the scientific works done to evaluate the scope for bioprospection of B. ramiflora. Based on the study designed, a number of research papers were reviewed, but only about 35 articles having information on B. ramiflora were evaluated in detail. In total, thirty compounds have been isolated and characterised so far from different parts of this evergreen tree, which accounts for its myriad medicinal value including analgesic, anthelmintic, antioxidant, anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, haemolytic, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, insecticidal, neuropharmacological, thrombocytic, anti-fungal and antimicrobial activities. This compilation of assorted information underpins the basic perceptive of B. ramiflora and opens up new horizon for further phytochemical evaluation, safety efficacy, and clinical trials.
