Pharmacological effects of lesser-known fruiting plants growing in India

India possesses a diverse array of medicinal plants, some of which have been recorded in different places. Their presence is largely influenced by climate and soil conditions, which are indicative of plant biodiversity. In the recent past, there has been an emphasis on ethnopharmacological research, which focuses on correlating plant utilization for medicinal uses with indigenous communities. The attempts aim to bridge the knowledge gap crucial for future drug development. This chapter overviews the chemistry and pharmacological activities of fruiting plants like Ziziphus mauritiana, Ixora coccinea, Syzygium jambos, Averrhoa bilimbi, Averrhoa carambola, Carissa carandas, Neolamarckia cadamba, Annona reticulata, Grewia asiatica, Feronia limonia, Syzygium samarangense, and Artocarpus lakoocha.
