Abstract

Euphorbia milii Des Moul is a Madagascar-native deciduous shrub that is frequently planted for decorative purposes. Allied with family Euphorbiaceae. It is frequently referred to as a "Christ-plant" in English and "Kontok Mukut" in local language. It has been widely used as folk medicine from ancient times. Historically, the plant has been utilised as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antispasmodic, anticancer, and antitussive agent, as well as a parasite and wart treatment. The major chemical elements identified in Euphorbia milii Des Moul are flavonoids, triterpenes, β-sitosterol, lupeol, cycloartenol, β-amyrin acetate and euphol. This study summarises the last two decades worth of scientific articles and books on this plant, highlighting its pharmacological action and health advantages against a variety of disorders.

A Comprehensive Literature Review on Pharmacological effects of Euphorbia milii (Crown of Thorns)

“…The phytochemicals anthocyanin,cyanin, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, carbohydrates, amino acids, cardiac glycosides, steroids, anthraquinone, tannins, phlorotannins, reducing sugar, saponins, coumarin, triterpenes, and flavonoids (a name which terpenes and flavonoids) are the most frequently found in Des Moul. The Euphorbia milii ethanolic extract of Des Moul's thorn part Euphorbia milii and stem part both included alkaloids, as well as amino acids, proteins, and cardiac glycosides, respectively, according to qualitative phytochemical studies (Sagar and Bisht, 2021). The goal of this literature review is to examine the pharmacological therapeutic properties of Euphorbia milii.…”
