A Review of Passiflora Vitifolia the Promising Medicinal Plant and Diseases of Passiflora Species

Abstract

The utilization of genuine ingredients with the production of medications given in modern medicine remains unparalleled, even while synthetic chemistry has advanced beyond expectations. Passiflora vitifolia is endemic to South America and flourishes in Kerala, India. P. vitifolia contains a wide range of bioactive compounds, including glycosidically bound volatiles, alkaloids, phenols, glycosyl flavonoids, and cyanogenic mixes, all of which have medicinal properties.

Passiflora vitifolia and its parts show antioxidant, vasodilator, Anti-inflammatory, In-vitro cytological, mild steel acid corrosion inhibitor, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-hyperglycemic, In-vitro callogenesis, Antihypertensive, Analgesic, and Anti-tussive activity. Passion fruit woodiness, bacterial spot, root and collar rot, fusarium wilt, anthracnose, and scab are among the most significant diseases of viral, bacterial, or fungal etiologies that may be causing a reduction in the longevity and productivity of passion fruit plants. Fruit quality and productivity are negatively impacted by the prevalence of woody fruits on immature plants. Entire crops have been destroyed by fusariosis, collar rot, and root rot, which have caused irreparable wilting and plant death. Passiflora vitifolia which grows between zero and five hundred fifty meters above sea level. The flower has an axillary flower and is a solitary flower. Passiflora vitifolia Kunth is recognized by the tubular corona that forms on the leaf sinus and bracts, which is partly caused by the fusion of its components. A study was undertaken to look at the anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties of juice extracted from this plant. The paper examines the plant's folkloric use in a variety of illnesses, as well as the numerous phytochemicals responsible for its pharmacological effects.
