Malaysian PHYLLANTHUS SP: an updated review of their impacts on the reproductive functions and fertility
Razif Dasiman1, Ebby Anuar Bahari2.
Phyllanthus belong to the Phyllanthacea family, which consists of 60 other genera and about 2000 species. Phyllan- thus contains numerous active compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, polyphenols, tannins, triter- penes, and sterols. Several studies have shown that Phyllanthus species have pharmacological effects. These include the properties of antioxidants, antimicrobials, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-hyperglycemic, antispasmodic, and anti-hepatotoxic. In Malaysia, there are about 20 species of Phyllantus plants. However, only nine species were scientifically proven to improve health, mainly reproductive functions, and fertility. This review aims to summarize the current literature regarding Malaysian Phyllanthus species and discuss how they impact reproductive functions and fertility.
