Review on Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities of Genus Juniper
Abstract
Juniper species belonging to the family Cupressaceae are evergreen shrubs or trees that thrive in dry, rocky, or sandy soils. There are roughly 67
species in the genus, all indigenous to the northern hemisphere. Several species of this genus have been reported to have a variety of
pharmacological activities, including diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and anti-hyperlipidemic properties.
Additionally, some species have been shown to have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective properties in Parkinson's disease patients. The
majority of these activities are caused by the phytochemical constituents found in these species. This article covers most of the constituents of
plants of the genus juniper reported from 2010 to 2023. Furthermore, the biological activities of plants of the genus juniper are presented
