Abstract
The family Bignoniaceae, also known as the "trumpet vine family" represents majority of its plants widely spread throughout the tropical America. Traditionally, members of this family are used to treat various disorders, like diabetes, neuralgia, varicose veins, syphilis, ulcers, abscesses, rheumatism, gonorrhoea, and wound healing. This review provides insightful findings of biological characteristics, phytochemistry, and chemotaxonomic classification of the phytoconstituents found in different species belonging to the family Bignoniaceae. The current review presents the study on Bigoniaceae family by gathering information from different online scientific data sources such as Google Scholar, ACS Publications, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct and PubMed using extensive keywords and phrases. Material was also collected from various scientific books, conference papers and institutional reports. The literature cited in this review covers the time frame from 1971 to June 2022. 132 compounds have been isolated from various species of the family Bignoniaceae, including alkaloids, anthraquinones, sterols, terpenoids, benzoquinone, naphthoquinones, phthalide derivative, furanonaphthaquinone, phenolic acid and their derivatives, fatty acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, glycoside, dihydroisocoumarins, lignans, and sugars. Structures of these components were presented in tabular form. The biological activities shown by the members of Bigoniaceae family include, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antidiarrheal, anticancer, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, antiplasmodial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, anti-trypanosomal, antispasmodic, wound healing activity, cardioprotective and larvicidal activity. This review highlights the phytochemical components of the various species of family Bignoniaceae and their pharmacological importance. The plants of this family possess high amounts of secondary metabolites such as anthraquinones, sterols, terpenoids, benzoquinone, flavonoids, naphthoquinones, furanonaphthoquinones, carotenoids, glycoside, and sugars. Overall 132 compounds are presented which enrich the members of this family as a source of imparting various biological properties such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antidiarrheal, anticancer, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, analgesic, antimalarial, anti-trypanosomal, and cardioprotective.
