Abstract

From the prehistoric, ancient age to the modern-day, genus Rubus species are already known for their healing properties such as in neurodegenerative and psychological disorders, cancer, diarrhoea, colic pain, diabetes, nephrological, and inflammatory disorders. Based on their phytochemistry and pharmacology it is an attempt to achieve a greater knowledge of the biological significance of these herbal medicinal plants. The ultimate aim of this review is to deliver the magnification of research at the cellular and molecular level in the management of nervous breakdowns and other diseases. An exhaustive literature search was performed by online databases such as Springer, Scopus, and Elsevier. In this review, the different novel medicinal plants belong to the genus Rubus, used to treat enormous ailments based on traditional and literature search, their potential bioactive species belong to the same genus.
