Abstract

This review investigates the potential of Frerea indica, a rare and endangered medicinal plant with a rich repository of bioactive compounds. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, known for their therapeutic properties. The results demonstrated significant hypoglycemic effects, attributed to the synergistic action of the plant’s bioactive constituents. The findings highlight Frerea indica as a potential source of natural antidiabetic agents and underscore its importance in drug development. However, the rarity of this species necessitates sustainable conservation strategies to enable further exploration of its medicinal properties.
