ABSTRACT:
The plant holds significant ethnobotanical importance in various cultures. In traditional medicine, extracts from the leaves, flowers, and roots of A. hexapetalus are used to treat ailments such as fever, skin diseases, and digestive disorders. The essential oil derived from its flowers is valued in aromatherapy and is believed to have calming and aphrodisiac properties. Additionally, the plant has been used in religious and cultural rituals, particularly in South India, where the flowers are offered to deities and used in garlands. The ethnomedicinal uses of A. hexapetalus highlight its role in the socio-cultural fabric of the regions where it is found. From a phytochemical perspective, A. hexapetalus has been the subject of scientific interest due to its rich composition of bioactive compounds. The plant contains alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds, which contribute to its medicinal properties. Studies have identified compounds such as artabotrine, hexapetaline, and liriodenine, which exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. These compounds have potential applications in modern pharmacology, particularly in the development of natural therapeutics. However, further research is required to fully understand the mechanisms of action and safety profiles of these compounds.
