“…Decoctions of A. sparsifolia are used as cholegogue, diuretics and sudorifics in the treatment of dysentery and diseases of stomach (Malik et al , ). It is also used to relieve physical stress and to treat cold, headache, toothache and cancer (Zou et al , ). Decoctions of A. camelorum are used in impaction in cattle's indigestion and dysentery, abdominal troubles, de‐worming and fever (Khan, ; Marwat et al , ; Mishra, ).…”

“…The n ‐BuOH extract was dissolved in water. Ethanol and n ‐BuOH fractions were then separated by the column chromatography over silica gel where new alkaloids were isolated and identified as alhagifoline A, pyrrolezanthine and pyrrolezanthine‐6‐methyl ether (Zou et al , ). In some other studies (Sultan et al , ; El‐Sayed et al , ; Ghosal and Srivastava, ), the similar extraction method for the quantification of alkaloids from different species of Alhagi has been used.…”

Alhagi, a plant genus from family Fabaceae, is widely distributed in many countries of Asia, Australia and Europe. Commonly known as camel thorn, Alhagi has many species famous for feed and folk medicinal uses. Different species of Alhagi such as Alhagi pseudalhagi, A. graecorum, A. sparsifolia, A. kirgisorum, A. maurorum, A. camelorum and A. persarum have been explored for their antioxidant potential and nutritive value along with various medicinal properties. A wide array of pharmacologically active secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids (alhacidin and alhacin), steroids, pseudalhagin A, phospholipids and polysaccharides have been reported from different parts of Alhagi species. A broad range of biological activities such as antioxidant, cardiovascular, anti-ulcer, hepatoprotective, antispasmodic, antidiarrheal, antinociceptive, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, antibacterial and antifungal have been ascribed to different parts of Alhagi. In addition, Alhagi plants are also valued as a rich source of digestible protein and important minerals. This review focuses on the medicinal applications and detailed profile of high-value bioactive phytochemicals along with pharmacological attributes and therapeutic potential of these multi-purpose plants.
