Abstract

This review focuses on various phytochemical activities of Ginkgo biloba. Human intelligence and self-expression are thought to be enhanced by it. It is utilized for culinary and cultural purposes, as well as in the Indian traditional medicinal system in a variety of Ayurvedic formulations. Anti-spasmodic, anti-protective, anti-hepatotoxic, and antioxidant properties are all present in Ginkgo biloba. Despite the high medicinal promise of this plant, few recent reviews have addressed its pharmacology and other relevant issues. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to compile and analyze the corpus of research on the pharmacological, ethnobotanical, and phytochemical aspects of G. biloba.
