Bael (Aegle marmelos L. Corrêa) is an economically valuable tree species in South Asia. The ripen bael fruits are popular among people because of the delicious fruit pulp, which is ideal for making jam, syrup, and pudding. Bael possesses many medicinal values and therefore used as an ingredient in ayurvedic herbal medical preparations. The fruits, bark, leaves, seeds, and roots of bael contain bioactive compounds such as coumarin, xanthotoxol, imperatorin, aegeline, and marmeline. These compounds can provide antidiabetic, anticancerous, antifertility, antimicrobial, immunogenic, and insecticidal activities. Bael is also essential as a species for reforestation, especially in the unfertile marginal lands. Bael seeds possess a unique fatty acid (12-hydroxyoctadec-cis-9-enoic acid or ricinoleic acid), a convertible item into biodiesel. Bael is an underutilized fruit species in South Asian countries. However, numerous studies report the medically significant properties and industrially vital characteristics of bael in India. The present review focused on summarizing and discussing the essential details and potentials of bael for industrial applications towards economic development.

“…It is a medium to large sized deciduous glabrous, an armed tree with the axillary and 2.5 cm long alternate, trifoliate leaves, short flower, and globular fruits 4 . According to Charaka (1500 BC), the high priest of Ayurveda, Bael is one of the most important medicinal plants in Ayurveda, which has been in existence for a long time and is extensively used by inhabitants of India 5 . A sweet drink prepared from the ripe fruit pulp of Bael is supposed to be effective against bacillary dysentery.…”

In this study, we investigated anti-cancer and antimicrobial activity of Aegle marmelos leaf extracts and their chemical profile characterized by gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A. marmelos leaves were extracted with acetone, methanol, ethanol, and chloroform. Presence of phenolic compounds was identified in these extracts by qualitative analysis. All the extracts were subjected for anti-bacterial activity against the different strains of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus ariyabattai, Bacillus megaterium, Pseudomonas putida, Klebsiella pneumonia, Serratia marcescens, and Escherichia coli). It is noteworthy that acetone extract elicited maximum growth inhibition on Serratia marcescens. Based on profound anti bacterial activity, acetone and methanol extract of A. marmelos were checked for cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231, HEp-2 and vero cells. MDA-MB-231 cells were more sensitive to acetone extract of A. marmelos with an IC 50 value of 79.62 µg/ml where as HEp-2 cells are more sensitive to methanol extract of A. marmelos with an IC 50 value of 47.08 µg/ml. Vero cells withstand 24 h treatment of both extract, and it is evidenced that both acetone and methanol extract of A. marmelos exhibited chemo sensitive property towards cancer cells. GCMS analysis was performed to characterize the active principles of acetone and methanol extracts of A. marmelos. GC MS data revealed the presence of ten major components. Overall, both acetone and methanol extract of A. marmelos found to be promising anti antibacterial and anti-cancer agent however the active principle of these should be isolated and characterized before reaching a concrete scientific conclusion. INTRODUCTION: Nature has wealthy medicinal resources which can cure the ailment of humanity.
