An insight on Potential benefits of Nerium oleander

Abstract

Medicinal plants have been widely employed to treat a variety of ailments since ancient times. Nerium oleander is a poisonous plant with a tropical and subtropical environment. Oleander included phenols, tannins, flavonoids, coumarins, sterols, triterpenes, alkaloids, Neridienone A, oleandrin, PBI-05204, and phlobatannins, according to qualitative phytochemical screening. Because cardiac glycosides are present in Nerium oleander, they impede the "Na+-K+ ATPase pump" in cardiomyocyte membranes and cause toxicity. The antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity characteristics of Nerium oleander extract were reviewed in the current study.
