This review is destined for a comprehensive assessment of the phytochemistry and medicinal properties of Tecoma stans, a widely used plant in folk cultures, as a traditionally safe and effective treatment for different diseases and complications. The attainable and reachable sources of T. stans confirmed its origin, ethnopharmacological properties, and therapeutic medicinal uses. Besides a hundred chemical compounds that have been isolated, the main active constituents are flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic acids, and fatty acids. T. stans exerted many medicinal benefits, including antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, and nephroprotective properties. However, there is a shortage of in vivo studies, especially adequate dosage and toxicity studies. More studies should be carried out for nutritional data. This review represents a scientific understanding of clinical correlations and applications of phytocompounds from T. stans in protecting and treating many complaints and disorders. |
