Abstract

Aims: to highlight the pharmacological importance of Acalypha ciliata Forssk, based on pharmacological properties, phytochemical data, toxicological data and zootechnical performance. Study Design: Mention the design of the study here. Place and Duration of Study: Biochemistry and Pharmacognosy Division, Research Unit in Zootechnics and Breeding Systems, Laboratory of Animal and Fisheries Sciences, National University of Agriculture between October 2020 and February 2021. Methodology: Extensive literature review was conducted by targeting scientific databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, with appropriate keywords such as '' Acalypha ciliata Forssk'', '' chemical composition of Acalypha ciliata Forssk'', '' properties of Acalypha ciliata Forssk'' and others. Boolean operators ''AND'', ''OR'' and ''NOT'' were used to optimize and refine the search. Results: there is very little pharmacological, phytochemical and toxicological data on Acalypha ciliata Forssk. The available scientific data reported its antimalarial, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and larvicidal properties. These interesting activities can be explained by the identified secondary metabolites including flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, anthraquinones, resins and glycosides, identified in the whole plant. Acalypha ciliata Forssk represents a plant still little explored Conclusion: Pharmacological work is necessary to justify all its traditional uses and to promote a good valorization of the species.
