Abstract
Mahogany is a Meliaceae family exotic plant that includes three species: Swietenia macrophylla king, S mahogany L. Jacq., and S. humulis Zucc. This genus is predominantly found in the humid zone of the New World and the Amazon region of South America. The purpose of this review article is to look at its taxonomical classification, vernacular names, pharmacological activities and its phytochemistry. Scientific studies have found that the crude extract from S. macrophylla seeds has antibacterial, anti-malaria, anti-hepatitis, anti-diarrheal, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, antinociceptive, and anticancer properties. Phytochemical investigations have shown that limonoids and their derivatives are the major constituents of Swietenia macrophylla.
