Vitex negundo is another Indian herb with extensive historical uses for numerous ailments. A
member of the Verbenaceae family, the small tree Vitex negundo has thin, gray bark. The herb is
abundant and has pharmacological effects against a variety of ailments in conventional medicine.
Numerous secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, glycosidic iridoids,
tannins, and terpenes, are present in all parts of the plant, but especially in the leaves. The plant is
said to have a variety of therapeutic uses due to its abundance of phytochemicals, including
antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, astringent, bronchodilator, CNS depressant, emmenagogue
detoxifying, diuretic, anticancer, and hepatoprotective properties. In addition, it has larvicidal,
insecticidal, and repellent uses. Leaf extract is used as an anthelmintic, nerve tonic, and sedative.
It became known as the chaste berry tree. Widely cultivated in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and
the West Indies, this plant is found in Indo-Malesia. It can be found in most parts of India as well
as the outer Himalayas. The plant has the potential to be an effective biocontrol agent and is
included in several commercially available herbal supplements. The use of methods such as cell
and tissue culture would allow rapid propagation and maintenance of plant species and, from a
phytochemical perspective, would provide scope for improving the number and quality of
bioactive secondary metabolites naturally produced by plants.
