| description | Several species belonging to the genus <i>Tabernaemontana</i> have been well researched and utilized for their wide-ranging biological activities. A few of the most prominent species include <i>Tabernaemontana divaricata</i>, <i>Tabernaemontana catharinensis</i>, <i>Tabernaemontana crassa</i>, and <i>Tabernaemontana elegans</i>. These species and many others within the genus often display pharmacological importance, which is habitually related to their chemical constituents. The secondary metabolites within the genus have demonstrated huge medicinal potential for the treatment of infections, pain, injuries, and various diseases. Regardless of the indispensable reports and properties displayed by <i>Tabernaemontana</i> spp., there remains a wide variety of plants that are yet to be considered or examined. Thus, an additional inclusive study on species within this genus is essential. The current review aimed to extensively analyze, collate, and describe an updated report of the current literature related to the major alkaloidal components and biological activities of species within the genus <i>Tabernaemontana</i>. |
