Indian lilac
Azadirachta indica
Azadirachta indica, commonly known as neem, is a traditional tree native to India but widely cultivated in tropical regions. Traditionally, it has not been extensively documented for specific medicinal uses; however, its leaves and extracts are often used due to their accessibility, affordability, and family traditions. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits such as antidiabetic and anticancer activities, with vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles synthesized from neem leaf extract showing promising results in vitro. Additionally, five phytocompounds from Azadirachta indica leaf extract have shown potential against multi-drug resistant bacteria through computational and in vitro assessments. The plant has demonstrated effectiveness against fall armyworm in African maize systems, though further standardization and validation are needed for broader recommendations. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified thus far.
