Abstract

Chrysophyllum albidum (Sapotaceae), commonly called white star apple is a very useful medicinal plant common in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. This review is an update assemblage on the traditional, phytochemical and ethno-pharmacological studies carried out on it. Its reported pharmacological activities in this review include; antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-plasmodial anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties, which justifies its traditional uses. The information in this work is intended to serve as a reference guide to researchers in the fields of ethnopharmacology, drug discovery and development of natural products from medicinal plants.
