Phytometabolites, Pharmacological Effects, Ethnomedicinal Properties, and Bioeconomic Potential of Velvet Apple (Diospyros discolor Willd.): A Review

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Diospyros discolor Willd., commonly known as velvet apple or Mabolo, is an underutilized fruit. Traditionally, various parts of D. discolor have been used in medicine for treating dysentery, diarrhea, and respiratory issues. Pharmacologically, the plant has exhibited diverse effects, including anti-acetylcholinesterase, anti-asthmatic, antiaging, antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and thrombolytic activities. These findings substantiate its traditional uses, particularly its potential as an antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and vasorelaxant agent. This plant is notable for its rich aromatic profile, containing 39 volatile compounds in the fruit and peel, with esters and alpha-farnesene being the predominant compounds. Volatile esters such as methyl butyrate and ethyl dominate the aroma. Nutritionally, the fruit contains dietary fiber, malic acid, vitamins, essential fatty acids, flavonoids, and triterpenes. Additionally, bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, triterpenes, and dimeric naphthoquinones (e.g., diospyrin), have been isolated from the plant. The essential oil derived from its flowers further enhances its bioeconomic and health benefits. Moreover, D. discolor holds bioeconomic potential as a biosorbent, a source of timber and edible fruits, and a material for synthesizing silver nanoparticles. This review consolidates current knowledge on the traditional uses, phytometabolites, pharmacological properties, and bioeconomic potential of D. discolor. The potential toxicity of this plant and its components has also been reviewed.
