Abstract

Introduction

Curry leaf, or , is the popular name for a tiny tropical tree in the Rutaceae family. Its fragrant leaves, a mainstay of Indian cooking, have led to its widespread cultivation in tropical and subtropical areas. has important therapeutic qualities and has been used for a long time in Ayurvedic medicine to treat a variety of illnesses.

Aim

The main goal of this work is to identify the bioactive compounds of for the treatment of inflammation and pain management.

Objectives

To provide a comprehensive analysis of as a source of bioactive compounds for the management of inflammation and pain.

Materials and Methods

A comprehensive literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The studies were selected based on the robustness of their phytochemical analyses, focusing on bioactive compounds with documented anti-inflammatory properties.

Results and Discussion

Curry leaf () has gained attention for its bioactive compounds with potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Its alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds effectively inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines and key enzymes such as COX-2 and iNOS, reducing inflammation and pain.

Conclusion

anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities make it a promising medicinal agent. Subsequent investigations have to focus on the isolation and characterization of certain bioactive substances, comprehend their mechanisms of action, and assess their safety and efficiency in clinical trials. Incorporating into conventional medicine may improve patient outcomes and provide effective treatment options for individuals with inflammation- and pain-related disorders.
