Description
Summary:The Macadamia genus belongs to the Proteaceae family, which can be found mainly in the southern hemisphere, has many benefits in some diseases treatments. Phytochemical compounds and pharmacological activities of this genus were comprehensively reviewed in this article. The literature review was performed by collecting minimum 50 scientific articles that contain the phytochemical compounds and pharmacological activities of the Macadamia genus, on PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Elsevier, and PubChem. The articles have been published in the last 15 years, including a minimum of 20 papers in the previous 2 years, and they have a DOI. The phytochemical compounds in the Macadamia genus consist of flavonoid, proanthocyanidin, and other polyphenols compounds. These phytochemical compounds can promote a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, antidyslipidemia, dietary controlled, antiproliferative, antityrosinase, CVD prevention, also NAFLD prevention. Nevertheless, many investigations on phytochemical compounds and pharmacological activities only focussed on a few parts of the plants, especially seeds. Therefore, further research is needed to determine the potential chemical compounds and pharmacological activities of the other parts of Macadamia genus plants.
