Abstract

Background

The Poaceae families make up the majority of crops and animal feed. We address a comprehensive analysis of the phytopharmacological characteristics of a few species from the Poaceae family, including and others.

Objective

The primary objective of this study was to offer detailed information on the phytocompounds found in different parts of the plant and their pharmacological activities. Additionally, we explored the previous pharmacological activity of these plants.

Methods

A literature review was carried out up to 2023 using various academic databases including Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Research Gate, PubMed, and Springer.

Results

All of the plants discussed above share the same morphological characteristics, such as the presence of spikelets, racemes, lemma, and glume. The GC-MS analysis revealed that petroleum ether of contains 15 phytoconstituents. Methanolic leave extract of disclosed 26 phytoconstituents by GC-MS analysis. The cold extraction of the whole plant of exhibited 18 compounds from GC-MS analysis. The root exudates of contain phytoconstituents which are collected hydroponically from root exudates by semi-preparative HPLC method. Methanolic extract of , A. hybridus, and grains were found in Caffeic acid, Ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and Protocatechuic acid. contains three isolated phytoconstituents veratric acid, maltol, and (-)-loliolide. Chemical analyses of extract fractions by LC-MS revealed the presence of the flavones tricin and diosmetin. , , and contain the presence of secondary phytoconstituents.

Conclusion

This study found and investigated the phytopharmacological properties of Poaceae species. The Poaceae family is rich in bioactive compounds which exhibit significant pharmacological activity like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. These findings show that Poaceae plants can be used to provide new drugs and natural health products. Further research is needed to determine these compounds' precise biological activities and mechanisms of action.
