| Summary: | The approximately 850 species of the genus Allium are distributed worldwide. Some species have been
traditionally used as food and their medicinal properties. This review focusing on traditional uses,
phytochemical aspects and pharmacological activities. This review aims to provide an overview of the
current state of knowledge chemical constituents, pharmacological activities, clinical studies and
safety of Allium species, to identify the therapeutic potential of Allium species and further directions
of research. The selection of relevant data was made through a search using Google Scholar dan
PubMed website. Plant taxonomy was validated by Worldfloraonline website. Twenty-five Allium
species were collected in this study. Allium genus contained allicin. Consumption of a high dose of
allicin could cause discomfort in some individuals. This review confirmed that some Allium species
were good sources of traditional medicine for treatment, particularly as antibacterial, antifungal,
antiviral, antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory,
anticancer and neuroprotective effects. It needs further promising investigations on Allium
compounds, especially allicin, quercetin and steroidal saponin to aid drug development and drug
discovery. In addition, anticancer and antibacterial for antibiotics-resistant bacterial strains, should
have priority in future pharmacological studies.
