Abstract

Evaluation of phytochemicals from extract of different plant parts has results in the identification of numerous important bioactive constituents in various Annona species. The major phytochemical constituents include acetogenins, alkaloids, essential oils, phenolic compounds, cyclopeptides, amino acids, pigments, and vitamins. These phytochemicals contribute toward several pharmacological activities such as antitumoral, antidiabetic, anxiolytic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, infectious, and parasitic diseases. The aim of this review is to discuss the major phytochemicals like acetogenins, alkaloids, and essential oils and their pharmacological in various Annona species including A. squamosa, A. reticulata, A. cherimola, A. glabra, A. senegalensis, A. crassiflora, and A. coriacea.
