Abstract
This review focuses on the isolated bioactive compounds and antischistosomal activity of Dolichos species, particularly Dolichos biflorus and Dolichos lablab. Medicinal plants have been used since ancient times and continue to play a significant role in traditional medicine and drug discovery. Dolichos species are known for their therapeutic potential and have been traditionally used in Nigeria. The review presented the chemical compounds isolated from Dolichos species, including triterpene bisdesmosides and lectins. Compounds with antischistosomal activity were also explored. The findings highlight the importance of Dolichos species as potential sources of bioactive compounds for the development of novel therapeutic agents.
