【 摘 要 】

Grewia hirsute is also known as Nagbala, a member of malvaceae family is small tree or shrub grown in mixed deciduous open and dry evergreen forests. In folk and tribal medicine it is used as nervine, brain tonic, antipyretic, diuretic, carminative, aphrodisiac, cardiac tonic. The plant is known to contain phenolics (vanillic, syringic, melilotic, p- hydroxy benzoic and protocatechuic acids), flavonol (kaempferol) saponins, tannins, glycosides, alkaloids, anthraquinones, steroids. The plant possesses antidiabetic, antiproliferative, antioxidant, analgesic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial activity. This review provides a bird’s eye view about phytoconstituents and pharmacological properties of Grewia hirsuta.
