Abstract
Fagonia genus belongs to family Zygophyllaceae. This genus consists of a verity of species, which grows in diverse phytogeographical regions of the world in different environmental conditions. Fagonia is a genus of convenient herbal medicinal plant with a wide range of therapeutic benefits and potentials against various disorders. Huge number of potentially significant phytochemicals, medicinal constituents and pharmacological components have been reported over recent years prove the medicinal value of this plant species. The areas covered in current review reveal details about the immense medicinal value of the different components of Fagonia species, analysis of their constituents in herbal preparation as well as the highlights of bioactivity of all plant parts of Fagonia genus. The inclusive and comparative studies can explore the therapeutic potential of this plant in much depth. The genus contains novel chemical constituents including flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, vitamins and nutritional elements. This review covers the aspects related to the therapeutic properties of Fagonia plants including its anti-cancer, anti-allergic, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, antifungal and anti-bacterial properties. Fagonia plant extract can serve as stabilizing agent for bioactive formulation of nanoparticles illustrating the advantages of using nanotechnology and green synthesis over the other methods. Biologically active phytocompounds are a better option for synthesizing nanomaterials that will be widely applied in the future in areas like energy and the environment, in addition to medicine, it also has significant biological functions that could lead to the discovery of novel pharmacological mediators in the future.
