Amaranthus spinosus is a medicinal plant that has been traditionally used in various cultures to treat different ailments. The plant is rich in phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavanoids, saponins and tannins, which has been reported to possess several pharmacological activities.

It also possesss analgesics and antipyretic properties making it useful in the treatment of pain and fever. Additionally Amaranthus spinosus has been found to have immunomodulatory effects and can help to boost the immune system. The pharmacological activities of Amaranthus spinosus have been attributed to its various bioactive compounds and further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanism of action of these compounds. The main phytoconstitutents is 7-p coumaroyl apigenin, 4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, spinosidexylofuranosyl uracil, beta-D-ribofuranosyl uracil, beta–D-ribofuranosyladenine, beta sistosterol glucoside, hydroxycinnamates, quercetin and kaempferol glycosides, betalains, betaxanthin, betacyanine and isoamaranthine gomphrenin, betanin, b-sistosterol, stigmasteron, linolic acid, 0.15% rutin and beta carotene. Apart from these important phytoconstituents it contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fibres, minerals such as iron, calcium, manganese, copper and zinc revealing its nutritional potential. As the plant possess such nutritional values and therapeutic potential it should be included as food supplement. Amaranthus spinosus is a promising medicinal plant with a wide range of pharmacological activities and holds great potential for the development of new drug.
