“…In many cases, P. butyracea butter is preferred for food and treatments (Ayegnon, Kayodé, et al., 2015 ). Due to this butter's nutritional quality and physicochemical and bioactive compounds, major food and cosmetic companies have filed over a dozen patents (Diel et al., 2022 ). In the past, Pentadesma seeds were exported to European countries.…”

“…In the past, Pentadesma seeds were exported to European countries. Its butter was extracted for various uses, including the partial or total substitution of cocoa butter (Diel et al., 2022 ) in confectionery and chocolate making due to its physicochemical properties similar to the latter. Unfortunately, this export has gradually fallen due to the decreasing availability of seeds over the years (Adomako, 1977 ).…”

The tallow or butter tree (Pentadesma butyracea Sabine) is a ligneous forest species of multipurpose use largely distributed in Sub‐Sahara Africa. Owing to the biological properties of different parts of the tree and physicochemical properties, as well as the numerous benefits of its fruits, research on P. butyracea products, especially kernels and butter, has now gained more interest. Thus, the scientific literature revealed that Pentadesma butter is a more promising product with good physical and technological characteristics. It is traditionally preferred in households for food, medicine, and cosmetic use. Apart from the fruits, all other parts of the butter tree are used by local communities in folk medicine. The existing studies indicated that P. butyracea contains valuable health‐promoting compounds such as phenolic compounds, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. P. butyracea and derived products have antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, antiplasmodial, antitumor, estrogenic, anti‐androgenic, and cholesterol‐regulative effects. Since studies on the biological properties of the tree parts, nutritional composition, and physicochemical properties of food products from the tree have been very limited, this review attempts to summarize some results from recent investigations. Our intention in the present review was to give an overview of the biological activities of plants and an account of the potential properties of Pentadesma products (pulp, kernels, and butter) and outline the way for future relevant research to improve their state of knowledge.

Background: Flavonoids are low molecular weight class secondary metabolites found to be present throughout the plant kingdom. Structurally, flavonoid class phytochemicals consist of C6-C3-C6 chemical structures with different substitution patterns and have drug-like nature. Morelloflavone is a biflavonoid class phytochemical found to be present abundantly in the Garcinia genus. Morelloflavone has been investigated in the scientific field for its numerous pharmacological activities. The present work aims to discuss the scientific progress of health beneficial aspects and pharmacological potential of morelloflavone in medicine. Methods: The purpose of this work is to provide scientific information about the biological potential and health beneficial effects of flavonoids in medicine with special reference to the morelloflavone. In this work, we have collected the scientific data of morelloflavone for the biological potential and pharmacological activities against different types of human illnesses with their mechanism of action from Google, Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed and analyzed. Further, the preventive role of morelloflavone against various types of human illnesses and the mechanism of action have also been discussed in the present work. This work will provide up-to-date information on the health beneficial aspects of morelloflavone in medicine for the prevention and treatment of human complications. Results: Morelloflavone exhibited a wide-range of pharmacologic activity in regulating numerous kinds of human disorders. Present work revealed the health beneficial aspects and pharmacological activities of morelloflavone for the prevention and treatment of human disorders due to its anti-microbial, anti-plasmodial, anti-oxidant, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor anti-restenosis, anti-HIV, aphrodisiac, Alzheimer's disease and apoptotic potential in the medicine. Further, its biological potential on phospholipase A2, melanin, kallikreins, monoamine oxidase, aromatase, Eg5 Inhibition and proprotein convertases have been also analyzed in the present work. Analytical data signified the importance of modern analytical tools for the separation and isolation of morelloflavone in medicine. Conclusion: Present work revealed the detailed pharmacological activities of morelloflavone that can be utilized in the future for the development of new pharmacologic agents.
