Biological Activities and Nanoparticle Synthesis of Dioscorea bulbifera and its Mechanistic Action - An Extensive Review.

D. bulbifera contains numerous active ingredients, including diosbulbins, bafoudiosbulbin, β-sitosterol, diosgenin, dioscin, pennogenin, myricetin, quercetin, and stigmasterols with numerous biological activities. In addition, it has a vital role in synthesizing nanoparticles with good pharmacological applications, especially in drug delivery systems. However, its potential characteristic features and functional properties of the active molecules present in this tuber need to be further explored in clinical trials. We suggest that using this edible tuber, we may formulate the valueadded food with good medicinal applications.
