“…Various parts of C. fistula are known to be important sources of secondary metabolites, mainly phenolic compounds. The leaves contain (−) epiafzelechin, (−)epiafzelechin-3-O-glucoside, (−)epicatechin, procyanidin B2, bioflavonoids, triflavonoids, rhein, rhein glucoside, sennoside A, sennoside B, chrysophanol, and physcion [6,7]. The roots contain 7-methylphyscion, betulinic acid, and β-sitosterol.…”

Objective:This study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of Cassia fistula leaves. Methods:A tyrosinase inhibitory activity assay was performed by measuring the decrease in the intensity of color suggestive of the inhibition of dopachrome formation resulting from the L-DOPA-tyrosinase reaction. Results:The test results showed that the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the water fraction of C. fistula leaf extract had the highest IC 50 value (152.031 µg/mL) among other fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol). An enzyme kinetic assay showed that the water fraction of C. fistula leaf extract inhibited tyrosinase with mixed-type inhibition. Phytochemical screening showed that the water fraction of C. fistula leaf extract contained alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, and tannins. Conclusion:The current study indicated that C. fistula leaves possess significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity.

“…Seeds are also good source of amino acids such as arginine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, aspartic, and glutamic acids. [36] C. fistula also contains chrysophanol, rhein, physicion, and kaempferol proanthocyanidins containing flavon-3-ol (epiafzelechin and epicatechin) [39,40] C. fistula fruit is a good source of Fe and Mn. [41] C. fistula roots contain diterpene, while its pods contain 3 beta -hydroxy-17-norpimar-8(9)-en-15-one Misra et al (1997) [35] and rhamnetin 3-O-gentiobioside.…”

The present review article emphasized the pharmaceutical, insecticidal, and therapeutic role of Cassia fistula and its associating species. This is an ornamental plant grown in all parts of India and has a long traditional use in Ayurvedic medicines for the treatment of cough, cold, and sneezing. Plant is a good depository of chemical constituents which display wide array of biological activities such as antipyretic, analgesics, antiseptic, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, antiparasitic, antitumor, antioxidant, chemopreventive, and hepatoprotective. Plant contains important nutraceuticals such as protein 12%, carbohydrate 11.75%, lipid 12%, and free amino acid 1.42%, respectively. C. fistula contains quality antioxidants which provide relieve in ulcers, jaundice, and piles, treat migraine and blood dysentery, treat fever, and relieve from chest and joint pain. The fruit of C. fistula is a good source of Fe and Mn, it is used in treatment of eczema cough, throat troubles, gastric, and liver complaints. Root extract shows tonic, astringent, febrifuge, and strong purgative activities. Plant is also a good source of nutrients, essential oils, antioxidants, and diverse phytochemicals which could be used for production of herbal drugs for the treatment of various diseases.

Cassia fistula Linn is known as Golden shower has therapeutics importance in health care since ancient times. Research findings over the last two decade have confirmed the therapeutics consequence of C. fistula in the health management via modulation of biological activities due to the rich source of antioxidant. Several findings based on the animal model have confirmed the pharmacologically safety and efficacy and have opened a new window for human health management. This review reveals additional information about C. fistula in the health management via in vivo and in vitro study which will be beneficial toward diseases control.
