An exhaustive literature survey on the secondary
metabolites of widely distributed Prunellavulgaris L. species has been carried out.
Triterpenoids, sterols, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, coumarins, fatty acids, volatile
oils and carbohydrates along with some other compounds, have been reported from
this species. Many of these compounds have been found to possess significant biological
properties, including antihypertensive activity, anticancer activity, anti-lipidemic
activity, antibacterial and antivirus activities, anti-inflammatory activities,
hypoglycemic effects, heptaprotective effects, antineoplastic activities, etc. P.vulgaris might offer a rich natural source with relative cheap price for developing new anti-neoplastic
drugs.
