Abstract

The genus Entada, belonging to the family Fabaceae or Leguminosae, is distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Australia, Asia, and Africa. Entada plants exhibit a wide range of pharmacological and biological properties, and in recent decades, their active metabolites have garnered significant interest due to their proven beneficial effects in ethnomedicinal applications and biochemical studies. However, our work only focuses exclusively on reviewing the Entada species native to and dispersed throughout the Asian continent. A total of nine species of Entada are known to be native to Asia. To the best of our knowledge, only three species of Entada (Entada rheedii, Entada spiralis, and Entada phaseoloides) have been studied extensively in Asia. The genus is recognized for its remedial properties, including anticancer, antibacterial, enzyme inhibitory, antifungal, antiulcerogenic, antiprotozoal, antioxidant, and antiproliferative activities. This underscores the relevance of the Entada genus as a rich source of compounds with significant therapeutic potential.

Abstrak

Genus Entada tergolong dalam keluarga Fabacaea atau Leguminosae, yang tersebar di seluruh dunia, di kawasan tropika dan sub-tropika di benua Amerika Selatan, Australia, Asia, dan Afrika. Tumbuhan Entada terdiri daripada pelbagai sifat farmakologi atau biologi di mana, dalam beberapa dekad kebelakangan ini, metabolit aktif telah mendapat minat yang ketara disebabkan oleh kesan bermanfaat yang terbukti dalam penggunaan etnoperubatan dan kajian biokimia. Walau bagaimanapun, kerja kami hanya menumpukan pada mengkaji genus spesies Entada yang sedia ada dan tersebar di benua Asia. Sebanyak 9 spesies Entada diketahui berasal dari benua Asia. Namun, pada pengetahuan kami, hanya 3 spesies Entada (Entada rheedii, Entada spiralis, dan Entada phaseoloides) yang telah dikaji sehingga kini di Asia. Genus ini diketahui mempunyai kualiti pemulihan dalam bertindak sebagai antikanser, antibakteria, perencat enzim, antikulat, antiulserogenik, antiprotozoal, antioksidan, dan antiproliferatif. Ini menggambarkan bahawa genus Entada adalah relevan dan mengandungi sumber yang kaya dengan sebatian sifat terapeutik yang tinggi dan bernilai.
