Abstract

The medicinal and health benefits of most medicinal plants are attributed to their phenolic constituents. Phenolics are secondary metabolites consisting of an aromatic ring with one or more hydroxyl groups, and/or other functional groups. Clerodendrum volubile is among medicinal plants studied for their phenolic constituents and health benefits. It is folklorically employed in the treatment of various diseases and ailments such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, immunodisorders, neurodegeneration, and hypertension. In this chapter, the medicinal/health benefits of C. volubile are discussed in relationship to its phenolic constituents. Its possible mechanism of action is also proposed.
