Abstract EN
Seeds of the genus Nigella plants as folk medicine are often used to prevent and treat asthma, diarrhea, dyslipidemia, and other diseases around the world.
Pharmacological researches showed that seed extract and seed oil have antibacterial, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and hepatoprotective effects which attributed to their bioactive constituents such as alkaloids, saponins, flavones, and phenols.
This paper has covered recent progresses on chemical and pharmacological researches on these plants, including their compounds and pharmacological effects.
It was found that the chemical component researches were focused on the seed oil.
Therefore, more attention should be paid to the profile of the whole constituents in the seeds.
