Plants are proved as a beneficial source of natural products having therapeutic uses for long back periods. Epidemiological studies suggested that approximately 33% of drugs in developed countries are derived from a plant. Pithecellobium dulce is one of the plants which have significant diverse medicinal properties. It is a native fruit of tropical America, and it is cultivated throughout India, especially in Andaman. It is rich in flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, etc. Experimental studies show that P. dulce shows antidiabetic, abortifacient, antitumor, anodyne and larvicidal activities. Furthermore, it shows significant activity against diarrhea, eye inflammation, and anti-venomous as well. It has a specific place in the traditional system of medicine and can be a miraculous part of modern medicine in the future. So, the present review has been designed to explore the pharmaceutical and therapeutic properties of P. ducle based on the available scientific literature.
