Abstrakt: The world of pharmaceutical research has been increasingly turning its gaze toward the treasure trove of natural products in search of novel drugs and therapeutic agents. Amidst the vast array of medicinal plants that dot our planet, the Asclepiadaceae family unexplored species have piqued the interest of researchers. Both medicinal plants are indigenous to specific regions and have been integral to traditional medicine systems for centuries. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the current knowledge regarding the phytochemical profile of these plants and their potential implications in the pharmaceutical industry. These plants are rich in phytochemical constituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, glycosides, and saponins. These constituents have been found to exhibit a range of pharmacological activities. They have antimicrobial properties, providing a defense against various microorganisms. They also show anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce inflammation in the body. In addition, these plants have antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from damage by harmful free radicals. They have shown anticancer activity, offering potential for cancer treatment. Their neuroprotective properties could be beneficial in treating neurological disorders. The analgesic properties of these plants could be harnessed for pain relief. Furthermore, they have antidiabetic properties, offering potential for diabetes management. The hope is that this review will stimulate further research into these fascinating plants and contribute to discovering new drugs from natural herbs.
