| Summary: | The lemon plant (Citrus limon L.) is a species from the Rutaceae tribe that spread from Southeast Asia
to all countries in the world. Lemon has been used traditionally since ancient times to treat various
diseases and has been tested for various pharmacological activities. The literature review was carried
out to study the phytochemical compounds and pharmacological activities of lemon plants.
Literatures which were collected minimum of 50 scientific articles obtained from search engines
(Science Direct, Pubmed, and Google Scholar), published in the last 10 years, included 20 articles in
last 2 years, have a DOI, and the quality of the journal was reviewed using Scimago. Lemon is very
rich in phytochemical compounds, including flavanones such as hesperidin, eriocitrin, naringin, and
narirutin; flavones such as apigenin, luteolin, and diosmin; flavonols such as rutin, quercetin,
mirisetin, isositrol, limositrol, and limositrin; terpenoids such as limonen, limonoids, and
carotenoids. Various in vivo and in vitro studies provided various pharmacological activities such as
antioxidants, anticancer, neuroprotective, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory,
antihyperlipidemic, antiurolithiasis, and antiplasmodial. In the future, it needed further research
regarding pharmacological activities of lemon.
