(3)
Anti-Cancer / Proteasome Inhibition / Breast Cancer Cell Death / Leaves:
Study evaluated a hydro-methanolic extract of curry leaves against two human breast carcinoma cell lines: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. The leaf extract decreased cell viability and dose-dependently altered the growth kinetics in both cell lines. The extract showed it to be a potent source of proteasome inhibitors that lead to cancer cell death. (4)
Anti-Diabetic / Hypolipidemic / Leaves:
Study evaluated aqueous extracts of Murraya koenigii leaves and Olea europaea leaves for antidiabetic activity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Results showed both extracts exhibited potent antihyperglycemic and hypolipidemic effects, attributed to the presence of antioxidants such as carbazole alkaloids and polyphenols. (5) Study of aqueous extract of leaves in normal and STZ- induced severe diabetic rats showed a favorable effect in bringing down the severity of diabetes. There was also a decrease in TG levels and an increase in HDL cholesterol. (
26) Daily administration of aqueous extract and methanol extract of leaves for eight weeks in alloxan induced diabetic rats showed significant reduction of blood glucose. The hypoglycemic effect might be mediated through stimulation of insulin synthesis and/or secretion from the beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans. (37) An aqueous extract of Murraya koenigii showed dose-dependent antidiabetic activity with maximum effect at 300 mg/kg. Extract showed significant (p<0.05) dose-dependent hypoglycemic effect on normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits. (63)

Girinimbine, a carbazole alkaloid isolated from M. koenigii was investigated for anticancer effects on A549 lung cancer cells. Results showed girinimbine mediates its antiproliferative and apoptotic effects through up- and down-regulation of apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins, with significant involvement of both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Results suggest girinimbine to be a potential agent for anticancer drug development. (6)
Plasma Insulin Effect / Hypoglycemic:
Study of an aqueous and methanol extract of leaves showed significant reduction of blood glucose with significant increase in plasma insulin. Results suggest the hypoglycemic effect may be mediated through stimulation of insulin synthesis and/or secretion from the beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. (8)
Toxicity Studies:
Acute toxicity study was carried out against Swiss albino mice. Results showed no mortality at the highest dose level, with no toxic effects at studied dose levels, and safe till the dose level of 9000 mg/k. (9)  No signs of mortality or morbidity was seen in either male or female rats fed ethanolic extract of leaf (300 and 500 mg/kg) fir 28 days. No mortality was observed at higher doses (900 mg/kg), but congestion, hemorrhage, and lymphocyte infiltration were recorded. Study concluded safety consumption could be as high as 500 mg/kg. Another study  suggest crude leaf powder and methanolic extract was safe up to 9000 mg/kg in mice. However, methanol leaf extract was found to be moderately toxic (LD50 316.23 mg/kbw) to rats and caused liver inflammation; however, with no severe side effects in other organs. (1

• Anticancer / Antoxidant / Leaf: Study evaluated the bioactive compounds and pharmaceutical qualities of curry leaf extract from three different locations in Malaysia. The curry leaf with the highest TF (total flavonoid) and TP (total phenolic) contents showed the highest antioxidant activity as indicated by FRAP and DPPH assays. Preliminary screening of curry leaf extracts from all locations exhibited significant cancer activity on MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line. Extracts contained substantial amounts of effective flavonoid compounds such as myricetin, epicatechin, and quercetin which showed potency in growth inhibition of breast cancer cells. (68)
• Antifungal / Antioxidant / Essential Oil / Leaves: Study evaluated the chemical composition and in vitro antifungal and antioxidant activity of essential oil of M. koenigii leaves. The leaf EO showed dose dependent antifungal activity against test pathogenic fungi. It also exhibited superior radical scavenging potency and reducing power with IC50 and RP50 values close to standards. (see constituents above) (70)
• Antidiabetic / Roots: Study evaluated alcoholic and aqueous extracts of M. koenigii roots for hypoglycemic effect in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Aqueous root extract at 400 mg/kg dose exhibited maximum fall (57.76%) in fasting blood glucose of rats after 21 days of treatment. Results suggest potential as drug therapy or adjunct to dietary therapy for controlling diabetes. (71)
• Gastroprotective / CCl4-Toxicity / Leaves: Study evaluated the gastroprotective action of dried and powdered M. koenigii leaf extracts on certain target issues (pancreas and duodenum) on CCl4-induced toxicity in male Swiss albino mice. Results showed potent ameliorative action on CCl4 induced toxicity. There was no clear cut beneficial effect of high doses over low doses. (72)
• Increased Glucose Uptake Potential Against Insulin Resistance / Inhibition of Adipogenesis: Study investigated the antidiabetic effect of M. koenigii leaf extracts. A 70% hydroalcoholic and alkaloidal extracts of MK leaves exhibited >90% inhibition against carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes compared to aqueous and absolute alcohol extracts. Both extracts enhanced glucose uptake in L6 mytotubes attenuating the effect of Palmitate induced insulin resistance. Both hydroalcoholic and alkaloidal extracts exhibited significant inhibition of adipognesis. (73)
• Antimicrobial / Anthelmintic / Leaves: Various solvent extracts of leaves and water extracts of leaves and stems showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus licheniformis, B. cereus, E. coli, S. typhimurium, S. aureus, and B. subtilis. The extracts inhibited radial growth of test fungi viz., Fusarium monoliforme, F. oxysporum, Macrophomina phaseolina and Rhizoctonia solanii. Different solvent extracts also exhibited anthelmintic activity which was attributed to phenolics, alkaloids, and terpenes. (74)
• Effect on Attainment of Puberty and Ovarian Folliculogenesis / Leaves: Study evaluated the effect of methanolic extracts of M. koenigii leaves and Morus alba leaves on age of puberty, relative ovarian and uterine weight and number of ovarian surface follicles in female Wistar albino rats. Results showed significant advancement in mean age of attainment of puberty along with increase in number of surface follicles on both ovaries. Effects were attributed to presence of phytoestrogens in the methanolic extracts. (75)
• Ameliorative Effect / Arsenic Induced Toxicity: Study evaluated the ameliorative effect of M. koenigii on sodium arsenic induced toxicity in Swiss albino mice. Results sowed significant amelioration in biochemical and lipid peroxidation levels. Results suggest antidote effects against arsenic induced toxicity. (76)
• Reduction of Blood Glucose and Cholesterol / Leaves: Study showed curry leaf decreases blood cholesterol and blood glucose levels in diabetic ob/ob mice. Body weight was also decreased after extract treatment. (77)
• Carbazoles / Antioxidative / Leaves: Study evaluated the antioxidative properties of leaves extracts of Murraya koenigii using oil stability index and radical scavenging ability against DPPH. Five carbazome derivatives were isolated from the CH2Cl2 extract. Compounds 1 and 3 were assume to contribute to the high OSI values of the extract. DPPH radical scavenging of the carbazoles were in the order of ascorbic acid > 2 > 1, 3 and a-tocopherol > BHT > 4 and 5. (see constituents above) (78)
• Antibacterial Potential against Tooth Decay / Streptococcus mutans / Leaves: Study evaluated methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and hot water extracts of M. koenigii leaves for in vitro antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans by disc diffusion method and compared with standard antibiotic streptomycin, penicilliin, gentamycin, and kanamycin. Hot water extract showed better activity compared to other extracts. In silico study to screen marker compounds from Murraya koenigii, bismurrayafoliine A and mrrayazoin showed least binding energy with Streptococcus proteins. Results suggest M. koenigii may serve as a potential source of bioactive compounds to prevent tooth decay. (see constituents above) (79)
• Anti-Inflammatory / Wound Healing / Fruits: Study investigated M. koenigii fruits for anti-inflammatory activity using carraageenan induced paw edema and wound healing effects using an excision wound model in rats. Results showed reduction in carrageenan induced paw edema by low dose (100 mg/kg) and high dose (200 mg/kg) at 42.6 and 50.3%, respectively. Topical application of fruit extract ointment showed significant (p<0.05) wound closure and epithelization compared to control. (80)
• Inhibitory Effect Against Candida albicans Virulence and Biofilm Development: Study evaluated the anti-infective potential of M. koenigii. A methanolic leaf extract significantly inhibited the major virulence factors of Candida albicans, such as biofilm formation, yeast-to-jyyphal transition, cell surface hydrophobicity, hemolysin production and filamentation. Purification and molecular characterization of active lead may produce a novel anticandidal agent. (81)
• Mahanimbine / Altitudinal Variations: Mahanimbine is the most potent of the carbazole alkaloids in Murraya koenigii. Comparative HPLC analysis of this most potent active principle revealed that the compound varies among plants growing in different altitudes, i.e., plants collected from high altitude (Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh) exhibited higher content of mahanimbine compared to plants collected from low altitude locations (Kolkata and West Midnapur). Results indicate a correlation between altitude and mahanimbine content. (82)
• Hepatoprotective / Antioxidant / Paracetamol Induced Toxicity: Study evaluated the hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of hydroalcoholic extract of M. koenigii leaves in paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in male albino Wistar rats. Study showed the non-toxic nature of M. koenigii leaves up to a dose of 2000 mg/kbw. The MK leaves extract showed a dose related significant drop in liver enzyme parameters along with a significant increase in GSH, SOD, and CAT. Histopathological exam showed reduced periportal inflammation with mild hepatic venous congestion. (83)
• Mosquito Larvicidal / Leaves: Study evaluated isolated fractions of M. koenigii hexane leaf extracts for larvicidal activity against vector mosquitoes viz., Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi, and Culex quinquefasciatus. Six fractions were obtained viz., A-F. Fraction D showed 100.0, 97.6 and 99.2% mortality against third instar larvae of A. aegypti, Cx. quinquefasciatus and A. stephensi at 100 ppm, respectively, and LC50 of 35.06, 27.20, and 42.51 ppm, respectively. (84)
• Renoprotective in Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury / Leaves: Study evaluated an aqueous extract of M. koenigii leaves for its renoprotective potential against unilateral renal ischemia reperfusion (RIR) injury in male Wistar rats. Treated rats significantly (p<0.05) restored serum and urinary parameters with significant (p<0.05) improvement in endogenous anti-oxidants such as SOD, catalase, and reduced glutathione and decreased levels of malondialdehyde and renal MPO, along with supporting histopathological changes. Results showed the aqueous extract possesses both preventive and curative effects against RIR injury. (85)
• Comparative Efficacy of M. koenigii and Chlorhexidine in Treatment of Gingivitis / Controlled Clinical Trial: A single-center, parallel-arm, randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of M. koenigii mouthwash in reduction of plaque and gingivitis compared with commercially available chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash in 45 participants with mild-to-moderate gingivitis. Results showed M. koenigii mouthwash is equally effective as CHX in treating plaque-induced gingivitis. (86)
• Amelioration of Insulin Resistance by Enhancement of Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity: Study evaluated the effects of ethanolic extract of M. koenigii on diabetes-associated insulin resistance induced in mice by chronic low-dose injection of dexamethasone, exhibiting hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance. Treatment with MK reduced the extent of dexamethasone-induced hyperglycemia and decreased insulin resistance as evidenced by improved glucose tolerance and increase insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation in skeletal muscle tissue. Evaluation in clonal skeletal muscle cell lines suggested MK increased glucose uptake in L5 skeletal muscle cells by increasing cell surface GLUT4 density via an AKT-mediated pathway. (87)
• Comparative Effectiveness of Curry-Leaf Mouthwash with Chlorhexidine in Maintaining Salivary and Tongue pH / Randomized Controlled Trial: Saliva plays a critical role in maintaining oral health through various defensive mechanisms. This randomized parallel-group study with 70 participants evaluated the effectiveness of curry leaf mouthwash in maintaining salivary and tongue pH compared to chlorhexidine mouthwash. There was no statistical difference between the MK and chlorhexidine. Results suggest traditional curry leaf mouthwash can be a safe, effective, and economical alternative to commercially available mouthwash. (88)
• Anti-Mycobacterial / Cytotoxicity: Study evaluated various extracts of Artemisia nilagirica and Murraya koenigii for antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG in synergy with first line anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs and for cytotoxic activities on mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells. Ethanol extracts of A. nilagirica (IC50 300 µg/ml) and M. koenigii ((C50 400 µg/ml) were more effective against M. smegmatis compared to petroleum ether and water extracts. M. koenigii showed maximum activity against M. bovis BCG in combination with first line anti-TB drug rifampicin. M. koenigii leaf extract also showed more cytotoxic (IC50 20 µg/ml), genotoxic, and apoptotic activity in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells. (89)
• Antiepileptic / Leaves: Study evaluated the antiepileptic effect of aqueous extract of leaves of Murraya koenigii on electrically and chemically induced seizures i.e., maximal electroshock induced seizures and pentylenetetrazole induced seizures in mice. Results showed significantly reduced the duration of seizures induced by MES and protected animals from PTZ-induced tonic seizures. (90)
• Synthesis and Characterization of Formulations for Topical Application / Leaf Oil: Study evaluated curry leaf oil formulation with an alkyl polyglucoside emulsifier for potential dermatological applications. Results suggest bio-based formulations can be used as such or as a base matrix for loading active ingredients for topical delivery. (91)
As Hair Growth Promoter / Review: Review on Murraya koenigii, a plant of many biologic activities, focuses on its hair growth pronmoting property attributed to its high beta-carotene and protein content, which are instrumental in preventing hair loss and hair thinning. The amino acid content that strengthens hair fiber is also high in curry leaves. The review compiles the well-known phamacology, phytochemistry and therapeutic potential of the plant. (95)
Drying Methods for Leaves for Antidiabetic and Anti-Ageing Effect: Study compared the anti-diabetic and anti-ageing effect of Murraya koenigii leaves by using drying method of convective hot-air drying (40, 50, and 60°C) and two hybrid drying methods through microwave vacuum-drying (6, 9, 12 W/g) and convective hot-air pre-drying followed by microwabe vacuum finishing-drying (50°C followed by 9 W/g), with freeze-drying as control. Results showed that microwave vacuum-drying is the recommended drying method due to promising results obtained for the inhibition of α-glucosidase and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). (97)
Wound Healing / Formulation of Extract and Olive Oil: Study evaluated the wound healing effect of a medicinal oil (MO) formulation prepared from M. koenigii leaves extract incorporated in olive oil. Pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1ß, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly reduced after treatment with the MO formulation. Results showed excellent wound healing effect and the wound healing effect of MO was better compared to povidone iodine treated standard group. (98)
Antidiabetic Human Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have been done to assess efficacy of M. koenigii leaves in reducing blood glucose: (1) In 60 T2 diabetic patients, 10 g of leaf powder for 14 days showed a significant variance betweennt pre- and post-prandial blood glucose. (2) Leaf juice,100 ml twice daily for 7 days showed significant (p<0.00003) reduction in blood sugar level in 20 experimental group patients. (3) Administration of leaves powder  showed significant difference in fasting and post-prandial blood glucose at 5% significance level among diabetic patients. (4) Some studies attribute the anti-diabetic potency to carbazole alkaloid. (99)
Carbazole Alkaloids and Coumarins / Antioxidant: Study evaluated the antioxidant properties of Murraya koenigii stem bark and root and Aegle marmelos stem bark and leaves using DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP, and linoleic acid/ß-carotene assays.  The chloroform extract of M. koenigii stem bark showed the highest antioxidant activity in CUPRAC (1490.89 mg TE/g extract). The bioactive compound mahanimbine isolated from the stem bark of M. koenigii was the most active antioxidant agent with TEAC of 927.73 and 1649.31 mg TE/g in ABTS and CUPRAC assays, respectively, as well as good lipid peroxidase inhibitory activity with inhibitory percentage of 70.95%.
