Abstract
Clitoria ternatea, an ornamental perennial climber of Fabacea has a range of biochemical principles including aprajitin, delphinidins, anthocyanins, Betulase-1, a-sitosterol, taxaxerol, taxaxerone, flavonoids, tannins, stigmast-4-ene-3,6-dione, kaempferol-3-monoglucoside. The extracts derived from various parts of plant exhibited abundant pharmacological properties including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, anticancer, wound healing and other pharmacological effects. Apart from the therapeutic applications through traditional/ayurvedic medicine, Clitoria ternatea is also used in agriculture, biotechnology and food industry due to its pleiotropic properties.
