Abstract
Jatropha podagrica Hook., a member of the Euphorbiaceae family and known as “Dầu lai có củ” in Vietnamese, has a rich traditional use in treating constipation, skin infections, jaundice, and fever. The plant's chemical profile includes flavonoids, coumarins, phenolic acids, diterpenoids, peptides, and steroids. Numerous studies have highlighted the diverse biological effects of Jatropha podagrica, encompassing antibacterial and anticancer properties, antioxidant activity, insecticidal effects, muscle relaxation, and hypotensive activity. Despite its promising medicinal attributes, Jatropha podagrica remains underutilized, largely due to a lack of awareness. This review aims to offer an up-to-date and comprehensive exploration of the botany, phytochemistry, and bioactivities of Jatropha podagrica. To compile this information, searches were conducted on scientific databases such as Google Scholar, Elsevier, Springer and PubMed. In conclusion, Jatropha podagrica, with its diverse bioactive compounds, emerges as a valuable resource for addressing various health conditions.
