Abstract
Bakuchiol, is a principal bioactive component present in seeds of Psoralea corylifolia.
It is one of the important monoterpene phenols and has been reported to possess extensive
pharmacological properties like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and hepatoprotective.
Bakuchiol also plays a significant role in mental disorders. With an aim to explore the
pharmacological potential of plant Psoralea corylifolia and its bioactive constituent, Bakuchiol;
which may act as a lead to develop new molecular entities as drugs. A substantial literature
survey was performed by scientific search engines like PubMed, Scopus,Web of Science,
Science Direct, etc., and were reviewed with particular emphasis on their scientific impact and
novelty. The study concludes that both Psoralea and bakuchiol possess innumerable pharmacological
potentials to treat multiple disorders. Altogether, the promising pharmacological activities
of bakuchiol may open new probes for therapeutic invention in the management of numerous
ailments. Thus, the present review gives the erudition of bakuchiol as d foundation for
further studies on the molecular mechanisms of BXXXD in the treatment of T2DM.
Keywords:
Bakuchiol, Monoterpene, Antioxidant, Anticancer, anti-inflammatory, Psoralea corylifolia.
