Abstract
People all across the world use the desert plant Anastatica hierochuntica L. (A. hierochuntica) to treat a variety of illnesses. The purpose of this study is to give an overview of the scientific studies on the biological activities of A. hierochuntica and to identify areas that require more investigation. The literature gathered from the following databases was combined to create this systematic review: According to earlier research, this plant's methanolic and aqueous extracts exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. It was demonstrated to have microbicidal action and the capacity to activate phagocytes, increasing resistance to infection. This plant's methanolic and aqueous extracts were shown to have hypoglycemic properties as well, with the methanolic extract showing notable hypolipidemic effects in diabetic rats. Furthermore, it has been proposed that the methanolic extract of A. hierochuntica possesses hepatoprotective qualities. Its capacity to markedly reduce transaminase and alkaline phosphatase activity in rats with diabetes caused by alloxan lends credence to this. Additionally, this desert plant demonstrated gastroprotective, anti-inflammatory, Hypoglycemic activity,Hepatoprotective activity,Gastroprotective activity,Antibacterial activity and Antibacterial activity. thus reported biological activity and therapeutic advantages are mentioned in this article More research is required to better understand the effects of A. hierochuntica, its components, and potential modes of action before it may be utilized therapeutically.
