Abstract
The genus Fagonia of the family Zygophyllaceae consists of species, mostly distributed in tropical-subtropical or warm-temperate regions of the world in different environmental conditions. Fagonia is a convenient herbal medicinal plant with a wide range of therapeutic potentials against different diseases. Numerous studies conducted to explore herbal chemistry and biological functions of Fagonia species. In vivo pharmacological examination of Fagonia species revealed noteworthy characteristics like cytotoxic and anti-cancer potential. Novel chemical ingredients found in the species included flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, vitamins, and nutritional components. Numerous researches conducted on Fagonia species has been compiled in this review study. Using references from significant databases, it comprises a thorough review of the literature about the therapeutic usefulness and bioactivities of several extracts identified from Fagonia species. The areas covered in current review reveal details about the immense medicinal value of the different components of Fagonia species, presence of bioactive constituents as well as therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticles synthesized by using Fagonia plant extract, illustrating the advantages of using nanotechnology and green synthesis nanoformulation of herbal plants
