Abstract
Cynodon dactylon
(L.) is extensively distributed across the world as a weed with potent
ethnomedical relevance. Despite its invasive character, Cynodon dactylon
(L.) has been widely used for a plethora of therapeutic benefits in traditional
medicine, while its pharmacological potential persists unexplored in recent
research. This review integrates and critically analyze the existing available
scientific information concerning the phytochemical composition, and
pharmacological potential, followed by the ecological adaptability of Cynodon
dactylon (L.), spotlighting its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-diabetic,
anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, immunomodulatory and diuretic potentials.
Furthermore, this study highlights the role of Cynodon dactylon (L.) in
green synthesized nanoparticles for biomedical benefits. By bridging the
traditional available knowledge concerning the potential exploitation of Cynodon
dactylon (L.) with contemporary scientific research, this review underpins
the intact potential of Cynodon dactylon (L.) as a prominent source of
phytochemical constituents for biomedical advancements and clinical sectors,
advocating for further toward pharmacological research for better health.
