Abstract
The Artocarpus genus from the Moraceae family, widely planted in tropic and subtropic regions of Asia, can be used as a food commodity and treat diseases. In this study, the phytochemical compounds and pharmacological activities of several Artocarpus species were examined. The literature review was performed to elaborate phytochemical compounds and pharmacological activities of Artocarpus plants. The reference articles have DOI and were obtained through the Scopus and PubMed websites database to ensure their validity and reliable contents. This literature study was made by using minimum 50 articles from the last 10 years. Based on this study, it was known that some Artocarpus species contained an abundance of flavonoids, phenols, steroids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. The compounds have various activities such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antidiabetic, anticancer, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. It needed more further studies about Artocarpus to comprehend the flavonoid and triterpenoid mechanism as an antimalarial agent.
