Chandra, Rajesh Kumar*, Atul Kumar Bhardwaj Department of Forestry, Wildlife & Environmental Sciences, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya (A Central University) Bilaspur, (C.G), India *Correspondence author Email: rajesh.dewangan0506@gmail.com ABSTRACT Soymida febrifuga (Roxb) A. Juss is a member of the meliaceae family. It is mainly used in medicinal plant and they are commonly known as "Rohina" or "Rohan" and "the red Indian wood". This plant has great potential for use for timber and medicinal purposes. These plants are mostly distributed from the tropical dry forests of India to the dry forests of the western peninsula and Indo-Malaysia. These plants may be present in reputed folk medicinal properties that were used throughout ancient times. These plants may contain phytochemical properties and bioactive compounds such as glycosides, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenol, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, and others that are beneficial in the treatment of a variety of human and animal diseases. The evolution of phytochemicals of this plant from the bark and stem bark extracts has confirmed that the plant has tremendous potential for medicinal properties and could be used as an antibacterial, anti-cancer remedy, anti-microbial, anti-helminthic, anti-inflammatory, uterine bleeding, dental diseases, and haemorrhage and acrid, refrigerant, for blood coagulation, good for sore throats, cures tridosha fevers, aphrodisiac and laxative, etc. This review discusses the pharmaceutical properties, phytochemical constituents, traditional uses, and biological activities of the plant, which will be useful in furthering our understanding of Soymida febrifuga's medicinal importance.

Vol 13 [6] November 2022. 37-43 INTRODUCTION Soymida febrifuga (Roxb) A. Juss is known as a reputed folk indigenous medicinal plant of Central India that occurs in tropical dry deciduous forests. In India, it is distributed in the hilly districts of North- Western, Central, and Southern India and extends southward to Travancore [21]. It is common in deciduous forests in Maharashtra [27]. They are distributed in other states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala [26]. In Gujarat state, they are occasionally seen in the districts of Dangs, Vyara, and Rajpipla (South Gujarat), Chhotaudepur, Panchmahals (Central Gujarat), and some parts of the Saurashtra region [25]. They are commonly found in the dry forests of the western peninsula and Indo-Malaysia. These are monotypic genuses that are only found in India [30]. These plants are commonly known as Mamsarhohini or Indian redwood, and they are used for medicinal purposes [3]. Plants of S. febrifuga belong to the lofty deciduous family and can reach heights of 22–25 m and 2.5–3.00 m of the girths [11] . The plant leaves are compound and crowded at the branch ends, and the flowers are greenish-white and developed in large clusters. The fruits of the plant develop in the woody capsule. They are common, flowering from February to April, whereas the fruits are harvested from May to June. The plants' wood is hard and is used for different purposes. The plant parts are used traditionally by the tribes and local community, as well as local healers, for the treatment of several diseases since ancient times. The pharmacological studies carried out with purified extract compounds reveal that the plant S. febrifuga possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer activities. The various compounds were isolated from the different parts of plants of S. febrifuga, like phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, tannins, Advances in Bioresearch
