Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack belongs to the family Rutaceae and is mostly distributed throughout South Asia
to Australia. Many pharmacological effects of the plant have been reported, and range from antinociceptive,
antioxidant, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial to analgesic activities. A wide range of different compounds consisting of coumarins, alkaloids, phenols, terpenoids and flavonoids have been identified from different parts of the plant and have been evaluated for various biological activities. The aim of this review is to cover the biological activities and the active compounds derived from M. paniculata to provide more insights and spur further investigations that would lead to production of more effective and economical alternative medicine from the plant.
