“…PEs have several biological activities and potent anabolic activities in plants and animals. Plants such as Taxus wallichiana , Chenopodium quinoa , Cupressus tularosa , Rhaponticum carthamoides , Serratula coronate , Datura stramonium , and Ajuga contain the highest amount of PEs in different organs that have several physio–biochemically important functions and/or enhance plant growth and development or boost immunity [ 183 ]. PEs are also used in many industries, such as Magnum Thrust from Magnum Nutraceuticals (Surrey, BC, Canada) and Ecdysten from ThermoLife (Phoenix, AZ, USA).…”

“…PEs and BRs participate in plant growth and developmental processes by modulating photosynthetic traits. The application of BRs mitigates stress by increasing photosynthetic membrane stability, reorganization of major photosynthetic pigment complexes, and slightly unstacking the thylakoid membrane [ 215 , 216 ]; PEs show similar functions [ 19 , 183 ]. Application of brassinolide (BL) (10 −8 or 10 −6 M) alters PE content to a certain degree, which largely depends on leaves’ developmental stages.…”

Phytoecdysteroids (PEs) are naturally occurring polyhydroxylated compounds with a structure similar to that of insect molting hormone and the plant hormone brassinosteroids. PEs have a four-ringed skeleton composed of 27, 28, 29, or 30 carbon atoms (derived from plant sterols). The carbon skeleton of ecdysteroid is known as cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene and has a β-sidechain on C-17. Plants produce PEs via the mevalonate pathway with the help of the precursor acetyl-CoA. PEs are found in algae, fungi, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms; more than 500 different PEs are found in over 100 terrestrial plants. 20-hydroxyecdysone is the most common PE. PEs exhibit versatile biological roles in plants, invertebrates, and mammals. These compounds contribute to mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses. In plants, PEs play a potent role in enhancing tolerance against insects and nematodes via their allelochemical activity, which increases plant biological and metabolic responses. PEs promote enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defense systems, which decrease reactive oxygen species in the form of superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals and reduce malondialdehyde content. PEs also induce protein biosynthesis and modulate carbohydrate and lipid synthesis. In humans, PEs display biological, pharmacological, and medicinal properties, such as anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-microbial, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and tissue differentiation activity.

Background: Punarnava is recognized as an essential remedy because it treats a wide range of health problems. It is commonly known as a rejuvenator. Its chemical constituents are all responsible for pharmacological activity in the body in some ways. There is a lot of evidence that the leaves, stems, and roots can be used as medicine. Objective: The morphological, chemical, and pharmacological characteristics of Boerhaavia diffusa are discussed in this article. The purpose of this review is to discuss the pharmacological profile of Punarnava and its chemical elements, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of its steroidal component β-Ecdysone. Method: This article compiled information by reviewing a variety of published articles and research papers from several sources, including Research Gate, WJPRT, IJPSM, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, Springer Nature, and The Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medicine. Result: It is a widely used remedy for numerous ailments among diverse cultural groups, Ayurvedic, and traditional practitioners. To some extent, it is used in a variety of formulations to treat sciatica, cancer, immunomodulation, obesity, diabetes, jaundice, inflammation, asthma, rheumatism, nephrological difficulties, ascites, anemia, and gynaecological disorders. Conclusion: Herbal medications are becoming increasingly popular nowadays. Punarnava is one of the most beneficial herbs available. More analysis is needed to investigate the impacts of each chemical ingredient in Punarnava. β-Ecdysone is a key component of Punarnava, which is both beneficial and detrimental to humans in different ways. Hence, further research is also needed to emphasize the impacts of each Punarnava chemical ingredient.
