羊肠菌（Lour.）Spreng。是一种多年生草本植物，属于Lamiaceae科，自然生长在非洲、亚洲和澳大利亚的热带和温暖地区。由于其天然植物化学成分，这种草药具有治疗和营养特性，在制药工业中受到高度重视。此外，由于其芳香性和精油生产能力，它还具有园艺特性。它在民间医学中被广泛用于治疗感冒、哮喘、便秘、头痛、咳嗽、发烧和皮肤病。这种植物的叶子通常被生吃或用作调味剂，或作为制备传统食品的配料。通过文献调查，发现了76种挥发物和30种非挥发物，属于不同类别的植物化学物质，如单萜类、二萜类、三萜类、倍半萜类、酚类、类黄酮类、酯类、醇类和醛类。研究已经引用了许多药理特性，包括抗菌、抗炎、抗肿瘤、伤口愈合、抗癫痫、杀幼虫、抗氧化和镇痛活性。此外，它已被发现对呼吸、心血管、口腔、皮肤、消化和泌尿系统疾病有效。然而，对许多其他传统用途的科学验证将是值得赞赏的，主要是从这种草药中发现和鉴定新的生物活性化合物。本文从植物学、植物化学、药理和营养等方面综述了凤梨挥发油及其各种溶剂提取物的研究进展。本文允许研究人员进一步探索这种多用途草药在各种生物医学应用中的进一步潜力。
Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. is a perennial herb belonging to the family Lamiaceae which occurs naturally throughout the tropics and warm regions of Africa, Asia and Australia. This herb has therapeutic and nutritional properties attributed to its natural phytochemical compounds which are highly valued in the pharmaceutical industry. Besides, it has horticultural properties due to its aromatic nature and essential oil producing capability. It is widely used in folk medicine to treat conditions like cold, asthma, constipation, headache, cough, fever and skin diseases. The leaves of the plant are often eaten raw or used as flavoring agents, or incorporated as ingredients in the preparation of traditional food. The literature survey revealed the occurrence 76 volatiles and 30 non-volatile compounds belonging to different classes of phytochemicals such as monoterpenoids, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, esters, alcohols and aldehydes. Studies have cited numerous pharmacological properties including antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, antitumor, wound healing, anti-epileptic, larvicidal, antioxidant and analgesic activities. Also, it has been found to be effective against respiratory, cardiovascular, oral, skin, digestive and urinary diseases. Yet, scientific validation of many other traditional uses would be appreciated, mainly to discover and authenticate novel bioactive compounds from this herb. This review article provides comprehensive information on the botany, phytochemistry, pharmacology and nutritional importance of P. amboinicus essential oil and its various solvent extracts. This article allows researchers to further explore the further potential of this multi-utility herb for various biomedical applications.
