Mini Review
The therapeutic estimations of plant lie within the sight of some phytochemical substance that delivers a positive physiological activity on the human body. A thousand of the plants exhibits as medicine by Charak, Sushrut and Vagbhata are of plant beginning. Therapeutic plants exhibit remarkable flexibility for the treatment of a wide assortment of the wellbeing needs. Plant pharmaceuticals are more secure, gentler and preferable for human wellbeing over engineered drugs. Presently a-days, in excess of 2,000 natural medications utilized as a part of human services needs in India by Vaidyas Nadkarni [1] in which B. lupulina is one of the essential restorative plants having a huge place since old time. B. lupulina has a place with the family Acanthaceae.

It consists of several alkaloids (barlerin), methyl ester group of compounds, methyl ester, phytol,benzoic acid and cyclopenta pyran-4-carboxylic acid, hexadecanoic acid, benzyl benzoate, 2(4H)-benzofuranone [4], betaine, iridoidiridoid glycosides, phenylpropanoid glycosides, lignan glucosides, squalene, benzoic acid 4-methoxy-methyle ester, betacureumene, 2-propenic acid, ecocyne, etc [10]. On the basis of these bioactive components, it is used to treat various ailements. Therefore, it can be a good candidate used to develop effective and natural or alternative drugs in spite of synthetic drug, however, their effect should confirm by pharmacological investigations and clinical trials.
