Green Gold on the Wall: Unveiling the Therapeutic Spectrum of Epipremnum aureum

Abstract

(Linden & Andre) Epipremnum aureum G.S. Bunting is a perennial climbing vine that belongs to the Araceae family and is prized for both its decorative and therapeutic qualities. Its phytochemical makeup, pharmacognostical properties, and a variety of pharmacological actions, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-ulcer, antioxidant, and anti-arthritic effects, are all examined in this study. A variety of solvents, including methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and acetone, were used to make extracts of various plant sections, which were then screened for phytochemicals both qualitatively and quantitatively. To discover bioactive chemicals, sophisticated analytical methods such as GC-MS, FTIR, and UV-VIS spectroscopy were used. Significant biological activity were found in both in vitro and in vivo tests, especially in methanol and aqueous extracts. The findings demonstrate the therapeutic potential of E. aureum and bolster traditional ethnomedicinal claims, indicating the need for more research on its isolation and creation of innovative herbal formulations.
