Narrative synthesis on the antibacterial properties of plants from the apocynaceae family that can be found in the Philippines
Natural products are not only important because of their ethnobotanical applications but are also significant as they can be developed into pharmaceutical products. Apocynaceae is one of the largest angiosperm families, with about 3700 species in 424 genera. It is distributed around the world but is...

Natural products are not only important because of their ethnobotanical applications but are also significant as they can be developed into pharmaceutical products. Apocynaceae is one of the largest angiosperm families, with about 3700 species in 424 genera. It is distributed around the world but is more diverse in tropical regions. Plants under this family have been found to be effective against several pathogenic bacteria. This activity is usually associated with growth inhibitory properties. In the Philippines, however, there is a lack of comprehensive plant family-specific information. The study aimed to provide a narrative synthesis reporting the antibacterial properties of Apocynaceae plants based on published journal articles. The study revealed that 33 plants belonging to the Apocynaceae family, are predominantly found in Luzon, the largest (104 688 km2) island of the Philippine archipelago.
