Abstract

Psidium guajava L is a medicinal plant having multiple source of drug and uses. From this plant various drugs were derived directly or indirectly from them. The drugs obtained from this are used to treat or evaluate anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antihelmentic, antimitotic and antidiabetic effects. In this all parts of plant posses any type of medicinal property.

Phytochemical screening of Psidium guajava leaves show presence of phenolic compounds, carbohydrates, flavonoids, carotenoids, terpenoids, and triterpenes in ethanolic extract of leaves of Psidium guajava L. The review shows the overall outline of the medicinal properties and mechanism of action on various activity and chemical compounds of Psidium guajava L and further use for investiga tion for the development of effective compound.

Keywords: Psidium guajava; Carotenoids; Dutch; Anti-proliferativ
