“…Phytochemical and pharmacological evaluation of several Phyllanthus species has identified a number of useful biologically active compounds. Phyllanthimide, an alkaloid used as a model for the synthesis of cystostatic agents in treatment of cancer is one of several useful compounds derived from Phyllanthus (Calixto et al, 1998). Phyllanthus species reportedly have antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antihepatotoxic and antiviral activities (Unander et al, 1990).…”

“…Several species from this genus are used worldwide in folk medicine for diverse therapeutic purposes. Pre-clinical pharmacological studies carried out with extracts and purified compounds from Phyllanthus species support most of their reported uses in folk medicine (Calixto et al, 1998). The popular uses of Phyllanthus species reported the treatment of dysentery, gonorrhea, urinary discharges, kidney and bladder stones (Unander et al, 1995).…”

“…Several classes of chemicals have been found in P. niruri, including lignans, alkaloids, benzenoids, coumarins, lipid, sterol, tannin, terpenes, saponins and flavonoids [72]. A few flavonoid from P. niruri that have been reported so far include quercetin, rutin, astragalin, quercitrin, isoquercitrin, kaempferol-4'-rhamnopyranoside, fisetin-4-o-glucoside and nirurin [73,74]. Harish & Shivanandappa [72] investigated the antioxidant activity and hepatoprotective potential of P. niruri.…”
