It is a highly<br />invasive species that has tremendously dominated over other species of plants and threaten biodiversity. At<br />present, physical, chemical, and biological agents are in consideration to eradicate this plant to prevent the threat<br />to biodiversity and soil fertility. Lantana is considered as an unwanted plant and its biomass is disposed off. In<br />this review, the pharmaceutical potential of this plant and its phytochemical constituents are discussed. Being<br />source for wide variety of bioactive phytochemicals, Lantana is a valuable pharmaceutical raw material. Hence,<br />instead of eradicating the plant as waste material, its pharmaceutical potentials such as antioxidant, antidiabetic,<br />antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities can be exploited for the possible application as<br />therapeutic agent. The modern medicine can take advantage of the fast-growing nature of this plant and use this<br />plant as a tool for biopharming. In traditional medicine, Lantana has been used in formulation along with other<br />plants as a treatment for several ailments. This review concludes that Lantana is a medicinally valuable plant, with<br />huge potential in the pharmaceutical industry.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutics (AJP)}, author={Ravi, Dr. Lokesh}, year={2020}, month={Jun.} }
