Abstract

The present review puts forth a comprehensive bioactive profile of a Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS), Cleome viscosa Linn. in the perspective of its ethno-pharmaceutical potential. Commonly known as “Asian spider flower, Bee plant, Tickweed, Cleome, Wild and Dog mustard,” it is an extensively proliferating weed inhabiting the tropics throughout world including India. The species is reported to be a traditional and folkloric asset in India and Thai medicinal systems. The species is bestowed with antiseptic, antihelmintic, carminative, rubefacient, vesicant, febrifuge, and cardiac stimulant properties. Owing to the rich bioactive profile, its pharmacological screening and tremendous biological properties thus inferred is intensifying day-by-day in the scientific world. On account of the immense bioactive potential, the species use can be strategized for ensuring and stabilizing medico-nutritional food security.
