variety of ailments which includes toothache, vomiting, fractures, severe bleeding, bruising, and
hypermenorrhoea. Euphorbia pulcherrima has been found to possess a variety of chemicals, including
alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, flavonoids and reducing sugars. The review analyses its pharmacological
profile, chemical component, and phytochemistry, with an emphasis on antioxidant activity,
antimicrobial activity, Osteoclast activity, analgesic activity, anti-inflammatory activity, sedative
activity, muscle relaxant activity, anticonvulsant activity and toxicological profile, in order to better
assess the plants medicinal potential. Due to extensive research on the pharmacological effects and
active compounds of Euphorbia pulcherrima, it has a great deal of potential in modern medicine. This
review provides current research on the phytochemical composition of Euphorbia pulcherrima as well
as other material that can be used as a reference for future studies.
