Abstract

Michelia champaca Linn acknowledged by most as Champa is a medium sized everblooming tree in the Magnoliaceae family. It is widely dispersed in China, South India, West Bengal, Myanmar, and the eastern Sub-Himalayan region. This plant has both traditional ethnomedical uses so it is used in various ailments like ulcers, nausea, stimulant, astringent, purgative etc. Preliminary phytochemical screenings have detected the existence of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, fixed oils, and carbohydrates. Additional active components derived from various portions of this plant include dihydro parthenolide, liriodenine, gallic acid, quercetin, β-sitosterol, parthenolide, starch. Phytochemistry of plant revealed many active chemical constituents like Methyl Linoleate, Cis-Linalool Oxide, Phenyl Acetonitrile, 2-Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, and Methyl Anthranilate Indole. For the purpose of analyzing bioactive chemicals, the plant has been exposed to a variety of chromatographic techniques, including Gas chromatography (GC), Gas chromatography with Mass spectroscopy (GCMS), High performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Procognitive activity, Anti-microbial, Anti-oxidant, Diuretic, Anti-ulcer, Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Burn wound healing, Anti-helmintholytic, Anti-diabetic, and antifertility properties are among the pharmacological activities for M.champaca that have been described. The goal of this review is to present a comprehensive and complete understanding of the pharmacological, phytochemical, and pharmacognostical activities associated with M. champaca in a single piece.
