Abstract

Medicinal herbs have long been used to cure a variety of chronic illnesses. The goal of this study was to assess the in vitro pharmacological characteristics of petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate soluble fractions of Taxillus ethanolic extract (leaf, bark, and root), as well as the plant's phytochemical screening. Taxillus, also known as "Sangjisheng" plant, has been used since the Eastern Han period to treat rheumatoid arthritis, arthralgia, threatening abortion, and hypertension. This review summarises recent research and serves as a resource for clinical use of phytochemistry and phormocological advantages. The Taxillus genus has numerous species, each having its own set of bioactive chemicals. This investigation delves into its phytochemistry, medicinal applications, current pharmacological activities, and safety concerns. It examines its historical relevance, applications, and potential negative effects, emphasising the need for additional research. The present study conducts a comprehensive evaluation of contemporary scientific research on Taxillus, stressing its therapeutic potential, dose recommendations, and administration techniques, while emphasising the necessity of standardisation and regulatory concerns
