Abstract

Introduction: Scrophularia striata (Scrophulariaceae) is an important medicinal plant in Iran and in Iranian folk medicine it has been used for variety of disorders. The present article aims to provide a review at the studies done on phytochemistry and pharmacological effects of S. striata. Methods: This mini review is based on a literature study of scientific journals from electronic sources, such as Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science.  Results: The   main chemical constituents which have been isolated and  identified from Scrophularia striata are cinnamic acid, some flavonoids such as quercetin, isorhamnetin3-O-rutinoside and nepitrin  and  one glycoside (acteoside1) .  This plant possesses antiinflammatory ,  antibacterial ,  antioxidant,  anticancer,   analgesic and neuroprotective effects.  In addition it  accelerates wound healing process   Conclusion : Scrophularia striata has a potential for the treatment of several diseases and  disorders, but  there are only a few studies done to investigate the plant phytochemistry,  thus f urther studies should be focused on isolation and identification of active compounds  with  pharmacological activities.    Besides, the majority of pharmacological studies have been performed   using aerial parts  of plant ,   thus further studies are needed to investigate bioactivity of other parts      of the plant.
