ABSTRACT:
Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.) Benth., commonly referred to as Jangal Jalebi, Vilayati Babul, or Manila Tamarind, is a versatile tree in the Leguminosae (Fabaceae) family. It is commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas and is valued for its ecological, medicinal, and nutritional benefits. The plant is rich in a variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols, glycosides, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, and steroids, which enhance its pharmacological potential. Different extracts of P. dulce display a range of beneficial properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, antifungal, anti-diarrheal, and anticonvulsant effects. Both methanolic and aqueous extracts from the leaves and bark have pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, whereas extracts from the fruit peel and seeds reveal antioxidant and cardioprotective benefits by lowering oxidative stress and boosting enzyme activity. Its antidiabetic effects stem from the inhibition of the enzymes a-amylase and a-glucosidase, regulation of blood sugar levels, and protection of pancreatic ß-cells. The fruit pulp is packed with vitamin C, protein, fiber, and antioxidants, which are good for our health. The tree also helps the environment by boosting soil fertility through nitrogen fixation and can grow well in poor or salty soils, highlighting its ecological value. Traditionally, people use P. dulce to treat fever, inflammation, skin issues, diabetes, ulcers, and digestive problems, as well as to support healthy skin and hair. Overall, this plant is an important resource for both medicine and the environment. However, more studies on its chemical properties and clinical effects are needed to identify its active ingredients, determine safe dosages, and confirm its healing abilities.
