The current discussion focuses on Selenicereus undatus pharmacological effects on various physiological systems. This plant contains high amount of polyphenols thus showing antioxidant activity, influences the p-450 enzyme mechanism either by inhibiting or inducing the metabolic activity of enzymes thus, used for the treatment of hepatotoxicity. Also, Selenicereus undatus is known for its radical scavenging activity due to the presence of phenolic content. Onitin and luteolin isolated from the methanolic extract of Selenicereus undatus showed superoxide scavenging effects and DPPH free radical scavenging activity hence can also be used in cancer treatment.
