Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is one of the main contributing factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases. The hunt for effective antihyperlipidemic drugs is still on with an intention of finding potent agents with meager adverse effects. For the past several decades, medicinal plants have been evaluated for lipid-lowering effects apart from synthetic approaches to develop newer antihyperlipidemic agents. This article highlights the work carried out on potential antihyperlipidemic agents from plant sources from 2006 till 2012 that were archived in Google Scholar and Science Direct database. Seventy-nine articles were included in the review after manual content curation. The review summarizes the investigations on medicinal plants, compounds and herbal formulations using various hyperlipidemic animal models or in humans, the research findings and possibility of chemotaxonomic occurrence of secondary metabolites responsible for the antihyperlipidemic activities within certain plant families.
