Rambutan

Nephelium lappaceum, commonly known as rambutan, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia and parts of the Pacific Islands. While its traditional uses are not well-documented in historical or cultural practices, studies have identified various bioactive compounds within its peel, leaves, and branches. These include phenolic compounds that exhibit antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities. The rambutan shell extract has shown strong antioxidant, antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and antitumoral properties with minimal hemolytic effects. Metabolites of the peel polyphenols were identified in rats, indicating phase I and II metabolic pathways, though systemic exposure for some compounds was low. Additionally, a ZnO-modified activated carbon derived from rambutan peel and seeds demonstrated high methylene blue removal efficiency. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded, but further research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and applications of Nephelium lappaceum in traditional medicine and beyond.
