Abstract

Plants are thought to be the richest source of prospective medication development. Since ancient times, medicinal plants have been utilised to treat a variety of ailments. Bioactive components, such as phytochemicals, are isolated from diverse portions of medicinal plants and used as traditional herbal medicines. These drugs are well-known in the modern medical system since they are made from natural ingredients, are considerably safer, more successful in curing various diseases, and have less adverse effects. Pharmaceuticals commonly use secondary metabolites such as tannine, saponin, flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenolic chemicals. As a result, several plants are used as medicine to treat various ailments. Piper cubeba (Kabab Chini) is a tropical medicinal plant that is found around the world, including Indonesia. Piper cubeba is a possible therapeutic plant with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-cancerous, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and antileishmanial properties, according to reports. The goal of this literature study is to describe the phytochemicals and pharmacological properties of Piper cubeba, a plant with a wide spectrum of biological activity.
