Introduction: Securidaca longipedunculata is a plant that has been used for medicinal purposes throughout the world for thousands of years. Aims: Update and discuss the chemistry, traditional and biological activities of Securidaca longipeduncula based on surveys and literature. This could motivate researchers to manufacture pharmaceutical products from Securidaca longipedunculata and to think of other more targeted research on the plant. Study Design: This is a review based on data collection method. Methodology: Investigations and Electronic database engines such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Biomed Name Meaning Finder were used to carried out the work. Results: Securidaca longipedunculata has antibacterial, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticancer, antiparasitic, antioxidant, antivenomous, antiviral, cardiovascular and neuromuscular properties, hypoglycemic, pesticidal and immunostimulant. All parts of the plant are used in traditional medicine and have been used as drugs in several pharmacological and toxicological trials in vivo and/or in vitro. The interpretation of local names testifies to the usefulness and potency of Securidaca longipedunculata, that is confirmed by scientific research. Conclusion: Securidaca longipedunculata has potential pharmacological effects. This raises doubts about its use as a candidate plant for the manufacture of drugs against many diseases.
