ABSTRACT:
Medicinal plants have been used in the treatment of various diseases including immune disorders. Researchers have investigated some of those plants for their immunosuppressive properties in the form of crude extract, fractions, or isolated compounds. Various plants like Boswelliancarteri, Terminalia catappa, Sarcococcasaligna, Cannabis sativa have been investigated for their immunosuppressive activities. Some compounds have also been isolated and examined as immunosuppressants such as manindicins A and B, vaticaffinol, calceolarioside A, periploside A, zerumbone, artesunate, catechol, and stigmasterol. This study highlights the findings on natural immunosuppressive agents found in several different plants’ species.
