| Abstract | ||
| Medicinal plants are widely recognized as an important source for a huge number of potentially bioactive chemical constituents which developed as drugs with precise pharmacological activities. Family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae or mustard family) is one of the most important families in plant kingdom and medical fields, which is served as a reservoir of nutraceuticals as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, phytochemicals and antioxidants. We are focused on certain plants of family Brassicaceae, which are commonly consumed in Egypt (Brassica rapa subsp rapa, Eruca sativa L. and Raphanus sativus L.). These plants are considered a part of a traditional daily food for Egyptians. There were numerous studies that indicate the potential use of these plants. The present review was performed to give an updated, detailed and critical survey of the literatures, which have been reported on phytochemical constituents, traditional uses and biological activities of these plants in family Brassicaceae. Furthermore, this review aims to emphasize existing knowledge gaps and propose future research guidelines to explore novel bioactive compounds, comprehend their mechanisms of action, and assess their valuable therapeutic applications through innovative pharmacological and clinical studies. | ||
