Background: Plants are the source of a variety of important secondary metabolites with pharmacological and pharmacognostic consequences that have the potential to become future "super medicines." The biotic and abiotic stressors have an impact on how these metabolites are produced in vivo, which causes a steady build-up of different phytochemicals. and their derivatives, which can help create and develop future medications. The current study's goal is to review the occurrence of potentially useful pharmacological and pharmacognostic secondary metabolites considering the possible uses of the understudied Ayurvedic medicinal plant species Luffa echinata inventing and creating pharmaceuticals for the future. Main body of the abstract: Luffa echinata, a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, is a rich source of phytochemicals for therapeutic use, including Cucurbitacine B, Cucurbitacine E, Eletarin-2-glycoside, Beta-sterol glycoside, Chrysirol, Echinatin, Apigenin, Luteolin, Luteolin-7-glycoside, Datiscacin, Oleanolic acid. These substances all or some of which have anti-cancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, anxiolytic, antiepileptic, hepatoprotective, antifungal, and antiulcer activity. Short Conclusion: alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, glycosides, flavonoids, sterols, triterpenes, flavones, reducing sugars, and tannins. Potent bioactive compounds like CuB, eletarin (CuE), eletarin-2-glucoside, isocucurbitacin B, β-sitosterol, echinatol-A, and -B, chrysirol-7-glucoside, chrysirol-7-epiglucoside, echinatol A, echinatol B, echinatin have been reported from the fruits. Datiscacin (cucurbitin-20-acetate) found in Luffa echinata that have the potential to replace conventional drugs as therapeutic agents. Its uses may be attributed to important classes of phytochemicals present in it; a bitter compound known to have antitumor activity has been reported from L. echinata. Similarly, flavonoids (luteolin-7-glucoside and chrysoeriol-7-glucoside), triterpenes, fatty acids, and saponin (gypsogennin) have been also isolated from seeds. The present chapter gives a detailed review of Luffa echinata chiefly from its pharmacognostic, phytochemical, and utility perspectives.
