Introduction: syzygium guineense is one of the most widespread African tree species about more than 30 m tall with edible fruits. This study aimed to present a review in an attempt to provide the utmost information based on ethnomedicinal, phytochemical, and pharmacological aspects of S.guineense.
Methods: we searched PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, Psyc INFO, and Web of Science databases to identify studies reporting phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of S.guineense. We made a systematic review of all the activities that have already been done on S.guineense
Results: a total of one hundred and seventy-eight articles were downloaded, and sixty-six studies were included. Primary constituent’s chlorophyll, lipids, sugars, and proteins while secondary compounds include alkaloids, terpenoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, and coumarin. Research also has shown that S. guineense powder contains minerals such as Calcium, Potassium, Rubidium, Phosphorus, Strontium, Sulphur, Zirconium, Manganese, Iron, and Titanium. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, antimycobacterial, anti-sickle, antispasmodic, immunological, and mollucidal activities were found.
Conclusion: this systematic review dealt with the phytochemical of S. guineense and its pharmacological activities. It emerges that S. guineense contains a variety of primary (amino acids, proteins, sugars) and secondary (polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids, and many others) metabolites which contain several pharmacological activities that act at different levels against oxidative stress, sickle cell disease, bacterial and viral infections.
